For the moment ive used Frontpage (cos it was quick and easy).

Anyway, the site is made and i have the registered domain and hosting.

Ive been struggling to upload it because ive had to enable Frontpage extensions (well at least i think i had to). Apparantly i cant use normal FTP because of this???

So, how do i upload a Frontpage wesbite to my domain?

Frontpage has its own publish to web functionality I believe which works, assuming your host supports the FP extensions you are using...

File >> Publish Web, type in http://www.yourdomain.com

Just FTP it Boro.

In explorer type ftp://www.mydomain.com You can then copy and paste just like any other file system, just copy the entire contents of the site there.

Frontpage extensions need to be installed at the web server side, for this it would need to be a Microsoft based server, not too many of these about out there I'm afraid

Ive enabled Frontpage extensions with my host so hopefully it will be ok.

When i click File>>Publish Web, what do i put in the first box that appears? Its seems to want to know where i want to copy the files to, ie somewhere on my hard drive and prefixed my web folder with c:/copy_of_

bttt

Sorry, I don't like to 'hark' on, but seeing as you bttt'd you is obviously still stuck.

Have you tried wot I saided with ftp://... It really really is the easiest way of doing it, IE suports this nativly and it means you can treat your website just like a HDD.

NB In XP there is a setting in "Internet Options", Enable folder view that will need to be turned on, and there is another, Passive FTP or something like that that I think also makes a difference.

Our website allegedly has "Frontpage Extensions" but I've never bin able to get frontpage to post to it :(

Thanks for that ;) I'll try it.

Any other views/suggestions?

Cheers

If you have the FP Extensions enabled you wont be able to uplaod via FTP.

Hey Ian, im gettin there LOL!

I didnt think i could :confused:

I need help on using the Frontpage publish webpage thingy.

Are you on MSN?

Not on MSN at the moment, just about to go nito the office.

I'll be back on MSN later tonight.

OK Ian, might pick your brains later in that case ;)

Anyone else know how to publish via Frontpage?

Thanks for that Ian :D

So, am i right in thinking that i DO NOT need Frontpage extensions enabled if im using CUTE FTP to upload?

I thought that Frontpage extensions needed to be enabled for websites created using Frontpage :confused:

Am i totally wrong as it now seems????

Only if your using components that use Frontpage extensions,like the built in hit counter etc. Personally I keet clear of them 'cos the website tends to be more portable and run on all webservers then

err.. it may not be uploading as frontpage uses active ftp to transfer and the vast majority of hosting companies only allow passive ftp now due to security problems.

just a thought

Cheers for all your help guys, i disenabled Frontpage extensions in the end and used Terrapin FTP to upload. For some reason CUTE FTP wouldnt connect :confused:
