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 Personal Extreme 100 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.
