 * hello fellows, so i’m trying to find the root folder of my website on the server,
   but either from my control panel on the server or making an FTP connection using
   filezilla, all i see is folders of wordpress, and i don’t know where the root
   folder of my website is, for example if i want to add anything to [http://www.mywebsiteexample.com/](http://www.mywebsiteexample.com/)**
   myuploadhere** i don’t know where to put it, i am trying to specifically add 
   a file to the root of the website so google can recognize ownership

 * The root of your WP installation is the directory that contains `wp-config.php`.
