how do u upload zip files on geocities? or mp3 files?

You&#39;re not allowed to. Upload it as .html or something and when you link it, specify the MIME type. Or you could download it in binary. [/b][/quote]
eh u sure? wen i was using geocities i uploaded mp3s and zip files... they dont allow that anymore?

--- anywayz i say use 1asphost.com

100mbs
free
unlimited bandwidth
no adz

--- they dont allow a few extensions like .zip,.mov,.mp3

but you can rename then using cmd to something like .jpg and upload em...

how do i rename them? but will they still work when people upload them?

Just change the file extension. They will not work if you are embedding them in documents. Also, try ASPFreeServer.com.

I might have the answer to all your problems though... UUEncoding&#33;

UU was made a long while back as a system for posting binary files on BBS&#39;s. UU converts the binary to postable text, which can be read in standard ANSI format. For zip files in WinZip, just go to Actions -> UUEncode and you can post this up as text.

for instance you want to upload a testing.mp3 file...

open notepad
save file as watever.bat

rename testing.mp3 testing.mid

umm well if you do this for the sound it will play the mp3...
if your uploading a .zip for somone to download they will have to change back the extensions

i found another way o do it. I used WinAce. 1asphost accept it so i just make my files ace files.
