Hi sarshavs,

If you take a look on the response body, there should be more descriptive message of what's got wrong.

Happy new year.

        You have set either incorrect path or wrong namespace (or both of them). Try list all files/folders in your root (empty path) to see where are you and navigate to the correct path. 😉

        Good luck.
