Question Create Directory /.well-known/pki-validation/ ?

Tom Rowe

New Pleskian
Hi,

After a lot of trial and error I have managed to install a free 90 Day Let's Encrypt Certificate on my GoDaddy Ultimate Windows Hosting with Plesk website https://excelcoding.com (currently under construction).

Following the step on ZeroSSL.com to verify my domain I had to create the directory /.well-known/pki-validation/ on the HTTP server. When I tried to create the directory it didn't like the .(dot). After a lot of head scratching I managed to create the directory by creating directory /well-known/pki-validation/ then renaming it to /.well-known/pki-validation/.

This all seems a bit of a fudge and I was wondering if there is a better way to create a directory preceded with a .(dot) on GoDaddy Ultimate Windows Hosting with Plesk ?

Regards,

Tom Rowe...
