Requires Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0. Sorry folks, Java version will be available later if you will tell me that you need it.

Okay, it might be what you GeoCities homesteaders folks dreamed about. This utility automates updating your GeoCities' page according to your copy of it at your local drive. It assumes that you have a directory with exactly same files set as in your site. Then, GeoSend utility will keep track of file changes and send them automatically via GeoCities ftp link. All you need is to specify your folder with your page(s) file(s) and GeoCities name and password.

You can use it for any ftp transfer, although it is now tuned for GeoCities.

Take note: I needn't your password, but you need it to send files. GeoSend utility stores your password in the local computer registry and never uses it otherwise than to establish connection with GeoCities ftp service.

How it works? Very easy. It looks for changed files and shows you differences list. It's time to press "Send" button to send changed files to GeoCities automatically. If some files no longer exist you'll find them in the list "to be deleted". Sorry, GeoCities administration don't notice my technical questions so I can't automate file deletions too. Write them and tell them that they're wrong ;).

GeoSend utility shows you summary about files to be send (and total size), and list of files you have to delete manually (sorry guys deletion not implemented yet because of lack of info from GS' staff). Press "Details" button and look what will happen :).

If you changed something in your source folder -- press Rescan button and GeoSend will keep track of your changes. Whenever you are sure that your GeoCities version is truly the same, press "Set as Up to Date" to tell it to the utility.

There is a few step to install this utility:

1. Download GeoSend.zip (117k)
2. Unzip it and place .exe in the any place you want, then start it.
3. Enter your GeoCities member name and password in the configuration box along with your site folder (hint - you can do it later just by drag'n'dropping any file from it to the GeoSend application window).
4. If only you don't want GeoSend to send all files again press "Set up to date" button.

That's all. Now start GeoSend (or press rescan if it is active) after making changes and send changed stuff automatically. Have fun.

This utility I wrote once for my own convenience and still using it for several months. I didn't find yet any major bugs, although I never made special tests. I'd like to hear from you your ideas, impressions and bug reports, and just to hear that you use it... Drop a line to sergeych@earthling.net.

If there will be a lot of users of it I will make new improved versions according to your wishes, so tell your friends to try it.
