USING FrontPage
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000 for Windows
Microsoft® FrontPage® 98 for Windows
Microsoft® FrontPage® 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
NOTE:
When uploading Microsoft® FrontPage® it is not uncommon that your images
will not be inserted in the created image folder. Please check that your
images are present in the uploaded folder. FrontPage does not save the
images when constructing your site, although you can see them in your
project. You may need to upload your images to your image folder as a
separate function.
MORE INFORMATION
There are many ways to get your Web content to the Internet, from using
simple File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to using the FrontPage Server Extensions
to posting directly to a Web server by using the HyperText Transport Protocol
(HTTP).
All methods for getting FrontPage Web content to the Internet start
with the Publish FrontPage Web command (File menu) in FrontPage Explorer.
If you installed the FrontPage Server Extensions on the destination Web
server, FrontPage can communicate directly with the extensions on that
server. If the FrontPage Server Extensions are not installed on the destination
server, or if you are not sure if they are installed, you can install
the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard from the FrontPage compact disc and
then publish your files to the destination server.
Publishing Your FrontPage Web to an Internet
Web Server
FrontPage 98:
In FrontPage Explorer, open the Web you want to publish.
On the File menu, click Publish
FrontPage Web.
In the Publish dialog box, click to clear the Changed
Pages Only check box and then click More
Webs.
Type the path of the destination Web server.
FrontPage 97:
In FrontPage Explorer, open the Web you want to publish.
On the File menu, click Publish
FrontPage Web.
In the Destination Web Server box, type the Internet address of the
Web server. The address of the server appears immediately after the protocol
(http:) and the double slashes (//).
In the "Name of destination of FrontPage Web" box, type the
name of the destination Web. (This should be the name of the folder that
will contain your Web content.) NOTE: If you want to publish the Web directly
to the document root of the Web server (usually only if you have a domain
of your own), do not enter the name of the destination Web. If you are
unsure what to enter as the destination Web, consult your control panel
or open a support ticket.
Click to select the Copy
Changed Pages Only check box. All your pages will be published
to the destination server. Click to select the "Add to existing Web"
check box if you have already subscribed to a site.
Click OK.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FrontPage 98
FrontPage will first attempt to communicate with the FrontPage Server
Extensions on the destination Web server. If the server extensions are
properly installed on the destination server, this is all you need to
do. If the FrontPage Server Extensions are not found on the destination
Web server, FrontPage will start the Web Publishing Wizard to connect
with the Web server.
The wizard will ask for the FTP server name and directory path. The
FTP server name is the domain name of the web server to which you are
publishing (for example, ftp.server.com).
The directory path is the folder on the server where your Web content
is stored (for example, /www). The wizard will also request a user name
and password for access to the FTP server.
NOTE: To determine what the
FTP server name and directory path is for your destination server, or
for more information about the user name and password for the FTP server

FrontPage 97
FrontPage will first attempt to communicate with the FrontPage Server
Extensions on the destination Web server. If the server extensions are
properly installed on the destination server, this is all you need to
do. If the FrontPage Server Extensions are not found on the destination
Web server, and if you installed the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard,
FrontPage will automatically start the wizard and use it to connect with
the Web server.
The first time you start the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard you may
be prompted for the protocol, the name of the Web server on which you
want to post your content, and other connection information. To obtain
the correct values, please login to your control panel and search under
web options for your host name.
The Web Publishing Wizard will also ask you what files you want to post.
To properly post your Web, FrontPage will pass the Web Publishing Wizard
a list of files. The files are stored in an "upload" folder
in a temporary folder where FrontPage is installed. Do not edit this if
you want to properly post your Web. Once configured successfully, all
subsequent posts to the specified Web server will occur automatically.
