Usage:
General Info
FrontPage extensions are included free upon request with all
accounts. Keep in mind that you will need a copy of the FrontPage
program from Microsoft before you can begin following the directions
below:
If your account is a Venture 2 plan or lower, please remember
that your domain name will need to be activated on our nameservers
before FrontPage will be available to your account.
Login:
Choose "Open FrontPage Web" from the File Menu in FrontPage
Explorer. It will ask you for a Web Server of File Location.
Enter http://yourdomain.com and then "list webs". Next, you
will need to select (double-click) the root web. The requested
login and password will be the same as your FTP account.
Usage:
FrontPage supplies you with two separate interfaces. The FrontPage
explorer is used to manage the files within your web site. If
you open a file in your web site another program called FrontPage
Editor will open. When you are connected to your web then all
changes made to any file you edit will be saved to your web.
*Note: Although the software documentation states that you can
create the site on your computer and then "publish" it to the
web server, we do not recommend this. Many times publishing
to the server from your computer will loose the Interactive
web bots features that you may have setup when designing your
site on your local computer. We recommend that you create your
entire site by being connected to your web and saving directly
to the server. To move files already created on your web site
use the Import command found under the File menu within FrontPage
Explorer to select the files to import to the server. This is
by far the best method for moving files from your hard drive
to the server. Using FTP to upload is not recommended as this
may overwrite important files. Also, do not edit .htaccess files
since FP uses these.
