Mike, A good way to upload multiple files, without zipping them, is to use ftp from the command line. This should work in most OS's (Windows, Mac, Linux) First, open your command line. In windows, I believe you can launch it by going to start -> run, then typing in cmd and pressing enter. Mac is Terminal.app. Linux varies but should be some form of Terminal/Konsole in the menu. In the command line, change to the directory containing all the files to upload. The easiest thing to do would be to have all those files in the folder be those that you want to upload and none you do not. To change to the directory, type: >cd path/to/directory/ To start the ftp, type: >ftp -i users.freepages.rootsweb.com You'll then enter your freepages username and password at the prompts. You are now in the top level of your website. You can continue to change directories with the cd command until you're in the spot you want to upload your files. If you need to see a list of files, type: Windows: >dir Mac/Linux: >ls When you're ready to upload, use the mput command. * is a wildcard >mput * or >mput *.html >mput update_* ...whatever your files are named. It will upload all files matching that wildcard, so you don't have to do it by hand. The mput command allows you to use wildcards and therefore upload multiple files at once. Single files can use the put command, such as >put index.html ~Amanda > On Monday, October 31, 2011 1:08 PM > Mike wrote: > >> Is it possible for me to copy a zipped file from my computer to my >> genealogy folder on Free Pages and then unzip it there? > > ============= > Mike
Or, the free program Filezilla can upload parts or the entire website. Filezilla works well with the "freepages" and "rootsweb" accounts on rootsweb.ancestry servers.
