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 MORE INFORMATION

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.

Also remember that FrontPage will use 2X (two times) the amount of disk space on the web server.  If your website is 2 MB in size, when you publish to your web folder you will require 4 MB of disk space. Please ensure your images are stored in the web siteIMAGES folder. As you build your site and insert images, FrontPage does not automatically add the images you insert in your web to your IMAGES folder.  The IMAGES folder needs to have your images in it when you publish, you will not see your images appear on the web otherwise.
