If your sites are hosted on RW and you use their File Manager program,
please read the notice below.
If you don't keep a copy of your site on your computer, you should. If you
have been using File Manager then you will need to download another ftp
program.

Subject: [SC-USGWg] URGENT re: RW File Managers
A Freepages user (thanks Ann for the heads up) has just posted that
File Manager is being discontinued. I am sad to say that having
checked the URLs for Freepages, Homepages, and the WWW server
<
http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/fileman/file_manager.cgi>
<
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/fileman/file_manager.cgi>
<
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/fileman/file_manager.cgi>
she is correct and they all say they will be discontinued as of July 31st.
What that means: If you do not have a copy of YOUR RootsWeb hosted
site on YOUR computer as of July 31st, you will no longer be able to
update your Freepages/Homepages/WWW site using File Manager.
If you do not have an ftp client on your computer, you can download
the free ftp client, Filezilla, at <
https://filezilla-project.org/>
For other free options, see Pat Geary's ftp page
<

Please pass this important info on to all your CCs and fellow USGW
members who may still be relying on the online File Manager that has
been furnished by RootsWeb for so many years.
Sadly,
Pat Asher
