Critical Steps to Online Success - Websites built with MS FrontPage--How to FTP to your server
Let's be upfront here-I don't like working with Microsoft Front Page-I find it clunky and restrictive.
Front Page generates some additional code that can get in your way when you're uploading and editing your files on your FTP server.
Windows-compatible FrontPage CD's will all come with Web Publishing Wizard (WPW). However (and it's a big "however") you can only use WPW to "upload" to your FTP server, you can't view the contents of your server directories and you can't move or delete any of the files with this software. It's probably easier if you install and use a standard FTP software package. You can find Free ones on Google.
But be aware…FrontPage generates standard HTML files, but there's some additional Microsoft-specific code embedded in the page.
If you have installed the FrontPage Extensions, don't try to FTP files up to the server with anything except the MS Web Publishing Wizard (but then of course you can't manipulate them-or so I understand-I've not used the extensions for this very reason).
If you wish to upload files via a standard FTP package, please remember to "uninstall the extensions" before uploading.
This is a fairly straight forward process but not totally simple. We don't have time to get into it here so I suggest you go to Google and search for articles on "How to Remove the Microsoft FrontPage Extensions".
You can get a really good "FTP add-on" as an extension of the browser "FireFox" from Mozilla a great browser by the way). This package is free and comes highly recommended although I have not used it-I just use MS Windows Explorer (I like to keep it simple).
All that being said, I have always found "Front Page" to be very annoying and restrictive to use, so I don't use it anymore. I used it years back when it came bundled with Windows 2000 and I didn't want to buy another program. Now you have to buy it as an additional package-it doesn't come bundled with Windows XP. So why not get something more flexible to work with.
Keep on winning

Jim
