What is FTP, and why would I want to use it?

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the quickest and easiest way to transfer images and other files to and from your account.

With FTP you can easily transfer lots of files (images, web pages, even a whole site!) from your computer to your GeoCities account and the Internet — making it a convenient tool for building and managing your site. (In contrast, our Easy Upload tool allows you to transfer only 5 files or up to 5MB to your account at a time.)

You can also use FTP to save files from your account to your computer or to move files around or delete files you're no longer using.

Anyone with a GeoCities Plus or Pro plan can use FTP. To get started, you just need to download a free FTP tool and set it up to work with your GeoCities account. Learn how to set up FTP.
