Software that came with it is Logitech Quickcam's own. There's an internet connection setup where I can direct it where to upload pics every x seconds. But it asks the following:

Host:
Username:
Password:
Path:
Port: 21

Now I don't have my own web server (security reasons), but I should be able to upload into my geocities correct? I tried host: http://www.geocities.com with my username, password, but am unsure of path. My homepage address is http://www.geocities.com/rh71el2 (rh71el2 being username also). All of my homepage files are in that /rh71el2 directory anyway.

Can someone help? Alternatives?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured it out... it's ftp.geocities.com... the program automatically ftps the image.jpg every x seconds, but the problem with geocities is that you cannot overwrite an existing file (safety I guess) unless you go into file manager and delete it first.

So my question to you now is... what web page hosts out there don't have this safety feature? Meaning you can upload files that will replace existing files with the same name?
