Q: What are FrontPage server extensions and how do I use them?
FrontPage server extensions are files and directories that are needed by FrontPage for
it to function properly. These files can be seen in your directory beginning with
_vti. It
is essential that you do not delete these directories, as FrontPage will not function
properly without them.
Q: What do I do if I have deleted some of the directories?
Contact us and we will reapply the extensions.
Q: I have created my site using FrontPage, how do I get it on the web?
To publish your site using FrontPage you need to click on the publish button. You
will be prompted for the location to publish to which would be; http://www.yoursite.com.
For example if your domain name is www.business.com you would publish to;
http://www.business.com. Enter your user name and password when prompted and your site
will be uploaded to your directory. *Your first web page
MUST be named default.htm (default.asp if using Active
Server Pages). If you need a different first page name, please contact tech
support.
Q: I have enabled my site, but when I click on publish I am prompted
for the ftp server and directory path, what did I do wrong?
When you try to publish your FrontPage Web site you should not be prompted for the ftp
server name and directory path. If you are then FrontPage has set ftp publish as the
default and you will need to change it to be able to use FrontPage to its fullest
capabilities. If you go to the file menu bar on FrontPage choose "Publish FrontPage
web". If you are prompted, and you are not always, choose FrontPage as the publish
method, not ftp, as your publishing method. You will then need to enter the location to
publish to, http://www.yoursite.com, your user name and password.

using FrontPage and the lastest version?
