Publish

Remove any FrontPage Counters you have put on your pages. They create a .cnt file, which will be rejected by GeoCities when you try to upload.

GeoCities only allows 2 levels of Sub-Directories on a Free Homesite. This is all that is needed for FrontPage, as long as you do not create Sub-Webs (webs within webs).

Directories that start with _vti_ are not needed at GeoCities, so don't bother uploading them.

All upload options (except EZ-Upload) use FTP to upload to GeoCities, but many of the programs hide the FTP so it is not easy to tell what is going wrong. If you are having problems connecting, the FTP command line program gives the GeoCities error messages.

If your Internet Service Provider does not support third party FTP programs, your only options are EZ-Upload or your ISP's ftp program.
