Other options for FP extensions? - 8/16/2001 14:45:00

Hi,

I am building a site for someone who has a hosting service with no FP extensions installed. (guess it's an old one).

What are my alternatives?
Can I FTP? (how would I do this?)
Switch to DW?

I finished the homepage and it looks like it may develop to over 20 pages long.

Your help is most appreciated

Thanks Gil - not having FTPed before, it sounds foreign to me.(one file at a time seems very slow if you have many files).

I thought you could only upload through FP extensions.

Are you saying one can FTP just through the command prompt?

But realisticly, get WS_Ftp - a couple of sessions and it'll seem so easy... ------------------ Gil Harvey The Host Factory Resellers are our speciality "Indecision may or may not be my problem" (in reply to vision2000)

Thanks again Gil,

All I ever heard about publishing in FP was to use FP extensions, no mention of FTP

What's the catch, or did I miss something?

Catch? Just that the FP "Bots" will only work on a server configured with the extensions. You'll need to use a Perl/PHP/etc script for forms & any Database functionality.
