Help wanted with computer question

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I've got a website at geocities, and I've been trying to upload photos that are in .jpg format. They aren't large, but the stupid program gives an error message every time I try to upload. I wrote help, and they sent back a form email with zero information. Anyone have any idea how I can get the photos?

Thanks!

1. what program are you using to upload

what is the error message, and how big are the photos?

3. Using geociites for upload

no FTP program. Files aren't big (I've loaded bigger picture files.

2. Rename your files so there are no spaces or illegal characters

You're probably uploading to a Unix server, and they sometimes won't tolerate file names with spaces in them. That's probably the most common problem.

4. No spaces, no illegal characters either

I'm at my wit's end on this. I've renamed the files with names I know are legal, but they still won't go.

5. try a different browser

sometimes Geocities balks at certain browsers.

6. Geocities, tripod, angelfire and most freeserver accts don't work

at DU (or most places, for that matter)

photobucket does and there are others too..

I use smugmug, but it's not free.. the free ones are dicey.. sometimes they "allow" linking for a while, and then stop..
