Disappointing e-mail from Geocities

Hammer755 · 02-28-2002, 06:37 PM

I received this e-mail tonight from Yahoo indicating Geocities will no longer support FTP for its free accounts. There goes my plan to post my first OOTP4 solo league online. I would imagine this will affect several online leagues out there.

Beginning April 2, 2002, we will no longer provide FTP access as part of our free home page service.

Please note that Premium Members will not be affected by this change in service. Free members interested in continuing their FTP service are encouraged to consider our premium packages. All packages include FTP access, remote loading of images, ad-free pages, and much more. Packages start at just $4.95/month (plus a one-time setup fee).

If you decide not to upgrade your GeoCities web site, you can still upload files using the Easy Upload tool which is accessible within File Manager.
