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.

For additional help and information about GeoCities, visit our help pages at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/geo/.

Thank you for using GeoCities,

The Yahoo! GeoCities Team

It seems that Yahoo/Geocities no longer wants my business. Taking away the FTP access makes uploading a site tedious. I think this is the end of my relationship with these people. (I've had my 'Geocities' site for a long time,in fact I have several. But I will remove them and leave just the one as is for the rest of my life.)

Where's Mysteria? I feel an overwhelming need to say "I told you so!"

(I predicted this would happen a month or two ago. Any business model that relies solely on advertising is doomed in today's market.)
