This announcement was discovered on Tuesday - posted from another list -
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 <

If anyone needs assistance with this, please let Shirley, Karen or myself
know and we'll seek to assist you.
