Transferring files to a server - 5/9/2003 17:00:57
There is no option for UPLOADING files to a web server from Frontpage - it' s either FTP or Frontpage PUBLISH. Including which you use will speed up an response you may get from somone.

Well, I' m not really sure. On my computer I go into FP, open my web, and click FP Publish. But then I enter my host name which is ftp://(numbers). Does that tell you whether it is FP Publish or ftp?

Upload = Transferring data (usually a file) from a the computer you are using to another computer. The opposite of download.
Another definition....To transmit data from a computer to a bulletin board service, mainframe, or network. For example, if you use a personal computer to log on to a network and you want to send files across the network, you must upload the files from your PC to the network.
FTP = Abbreviation of File Transfer Protocol, the protocol used on the Internet for sending files.
File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is a protocol used to upload files from a workstation to a FTP server or download files from a FTP server to a workstation. It is the way that files get transferred from one device to another in order for the files to be available on the Internet. When ftp appears in a URL it means that the user is connecting to a file server and not a Web server and that some form of file transfer is going to take place. Most FTP servers require the user to log on to the server in order to transfer files.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) A protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc.). For example, after developing the HTML pages for a Web site on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the Web server using FTP.
I forgot to add...
Publish is a Microsoft term/protocol used from within FrontPage to upload your files.
If you are using any features that require FrontPage extensions you MUST publish.

Well, that' s not the host name it' s the IP address. And the ftp means you are using FTP not Publishing.

I might be wrong but I think that is called a web folder.
For example you have a folder on your pc that is connected to your site, any modifications made to that folder are reflected on your site.

web folders are for working with webs on your hard drive.
They are not synched or reflected until you publish them to a FrontPage enabled webserver
when you go to publish you should see " http://www.yourdomainname.com" on the address bar
when you copy the files from internet to your hard drive you use the http protocol

Sorry Boo.....
Web folders can be many things to many people.....depends on the circumstances...
I am not sure about using FP, but when you copy a file or folder to a web folder it IS updated or reflected on your web site there and then. That is the main reason for using a web folder. Changes made to your site are automatically reflected in your design.
When copying files to your hard drive, use the left click button. It does not always work but 90% of time, it does.
As I said, I am not sure about front page. I do know for a fact, that changes made to a web folder are automatically reflected on site.

Smiles,
When I was hosted under lycos, I had a web folder on my hard drive which linked to my site. It was in my network places. When I made changes to this folder my website updated. No need to FTP.
Ya it was linked
IOW you were using a piece of software to mediate between the two places. Possibly you were doing this all unawares.
<inspiration> oooooooh now there' s a thought, hardware, software, firmware, slushware, vapourware, .... and now unaware .... oooooh DA what say you an' me do a software IPO an' wipe Redmond off the map.

Same Question - Maybe? - 7/10/2003 15:03:20
This may run along the same lines...
I don' t know a whole lot about FP but I did but FP Inside Out 2002.
Now, I am overwhelmed by the 1200+ pages.
I have a small site hosted by Earthlink.
From the moment I created, it was always on their side, not on my H/D.
All the changes have been live (stupid I know) on their side.
Now I wish to overhaul the entire site, structure and all.
How can I Synchronize an exact copy of the site onto my h/d so when
I make changes on my side it automatically updates on their side?
What is the technical term for what I wish to accomplish?
If I know that, I can peruse the 1200+ page book for the answers?
Anyone?
Anyone?

to understand. A " web folder" is a directory to which certain attributes have been added so that the FP extensions can be implemented on FP webs hosted on web servers that support those extensions.
