How do I upload files to my File Manager?

All GeoCities users can upload files to File Manager using our Easy Upload tool. If you're a GeoCities Plus user, you can also use an FTP client or the FTP tools that come with any third-party software you might be using to build your site. (If you use a Yahoo! tool to build your web site, your files will automatically be saved to your File Manager when you save and publish your site.)

To upload files with Easy Upload:

  1. Visit the Create & Update or Index tab of your GeoCities Control Panel, then click "Easy Upload." (You can also access Easy Upload by clicking the "File Manager" link on the Create & Update, Manage, or Index tabs of your GeoCities Control Panel, then selecting the "Upload Files" link in the upper-right corner of the File Manager.)
  2. Click the "Browse..." button to locate a file on your computer's hard drive.
  3. When you've found your file, click "Open."
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each file you'd like to upload.

    Note: If you want to upload more than five files, change the value of the "Number of Files to Upload" menu and click the "Display" button. Keep in mind that the total size of the uploaded files may not exceed 5MB.

  5. If you'd like Easy Upload to automatically convert all of your file names into lowercase, select the corresponding checkbox. We recommend doing this.
  6. If you'd like Easy Upload to convert all instances of the .htm extension in your files to .html, select the corresponding checkbox.
  7. When you're ready to upload all of your files, choose the "Upload Files" button.

On the following page, you should see a confirmation that your files have been uploaded successfully.

Many people prefer to upload their files using FTP, which allows you to upload multiple files more quickly. If you have GeoCities Plus, you can use FTP. Learn more.
