Hi and welcome to the forum all files must go in the htdocs folder htdocs is a public folder please check if you have done everything as it should be guided by this article [https://sparkleapp.com/docs/exporting.html](https://sparkleapp.com/docs/exporting.html) if all else fails use the `Export to disk` option and then use it this way > [@How to upload files with FTP](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/49306): > > The best and most reliable way to upload files is to use FTP.

I checked your account and it doesn’t appear that any files have been uploaded to it. Your domain is an addon domain, so the files for it should be uploaded to the folder `fortunefadedglory.co.uk/htdocs`. You can always view the directory of an account in the Domains list in the client area. ---

Hi, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Its physically stopping me from uploading files to htdocs. I don’t have export to disk as an option in my package with sparkle at present, trying to avoid this. I’ve followed that guide but no joy, I’ll try some screen shots. ---

Hi, thanks for checking this. Sparkle is preventing me from adding any files, the error message stops me from uploading them. ---

OK, so it would seem that Sparkle tries to verify the file upload location before actually uploading files. But I think that they are unable to do so because this security system is preventing the app from seeing the file on your site. > [@Ensuring only web browsers can access your website](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ensuring-only-web-browsers-can-access-your-website/49353): > > InfinityFree is a website hosting service.
