That's probably bcoz your free site only allows certain files to be uploaded ie .htm .jpg .cc

Pls check with your web admin or service provider and determine what is allowed and what is not.

Free sites r usually limited in the type of files u can upload, while paid sites allows you to do more.

Geocities is pretty restrictive on what you can upload.  You might be able to change the extension to something other than .exe and try again.

sometimes such websites prevent u from uploading exe files for security reasons. they don't want unidentified / malicious codes to be on their server.

it's not a good idea to force your exe file to be uploaded, coz i think u will be violating ur agreement with geocities to upload only their approved files.

well i always believe good things come with a price : )
