Hello!
Dear developers, please can you help with this issue.
I added some txt fime in my root. (uzbaby.uz/ads.txt)

But it doesn't opening, it shows

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /ads.txt on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please can you help with this? What should I configure in Admin Tools to see this txt file.

Thank you very much!

You are using the .htaccess Maker to create a security optimized .htaccess file. The Front-end Protection option, enabled by default, disables direct web access to all files (except Joomla's index.php file and select file types in the media, components, modules and plugin folders) that you do not explicitly allow. A .txt file in the root of your site would, therefore, be blocked with a 403 Forbidden error just like you describe.

As I said, you can explicitly tell it which files to allow. Go to Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker and add the following to the "Allow direct access to these files", in a new line:
ads.txt

Then click on Save & Create .htaccess to apply your changes.
