You can't use FTP w/ FPSE's, so how do you... - 8/11/2004 11:27:39
allow someone to upload their Outlook Schedule to the site and only have certain people be able to view it? This is the email I got from my pastor, but he was unaware of no FTP capability with FPSE's...
"I want to be able to publish my work calendar to the website so
that my wife or other leaders can see upcoming events. Outlook
has that ability but I need a place. Could you make a directory
and give me the password for ftp?"
I'm really "winging it" as "webmaster" (ha!), can anyone help me? :)
(I was thinking hidden directory... but then how does he upload his schedule? He's using FP2002 but I've updated everything to FP2003 and am pretty much the sole "controller" of updates anymore, so I'm not sure that he can just "publish" his selected file easily?? But I figure if the intended reader puts the hidden page name in the url then they will be able to view it. Am I on the right track?)
Thanks Kathy

No need to worry. FP2003 uses FP2002 Server Extensions....just get your pastor to use FP2002 to update pages etc.

do you need it "hidden"? what about password protecting it?

It's basically "hiding" it if you don't include it in the site map or anything, right? I suppose I don't need to "hide" it, the site is already password protected.. (can you actually pw protect a single page?)

Why don't you just make them a Blog that they can use? I've seen them set up to resemble and act like a simple discussion board. All they do is post and it shows up as a Blog. This way there is no concern with FTP or Server Extensions.

As long as you don't FTP a page that has FP features that require the extensions.
Bobby,
Are you saying that if a site has one page on it that the owner would like to update, using some other HTML editor (for example, Mozilla Composer), they can FTP that page's updates without corrupting the extenstions for the rest of the site?
The reason I'm asking is this...one of my websites uses a FP form on one page. Other than that, the only thing the extensions are required for is to publish the site. One of the pages is an Events page like mentioned in this threads OP. My client would like to be able to update that page herself. If she does so, then it won't screw up the form or mess up my ability to publish big changes to the site (like if she wants a new page, etc.)
Hopefull that made sense...
Karen

Has anyone done this successfully, without bringing down the extensions? Like Karen, I only use the extensions for an odd form and for publishing, but have similar requirements for client updates.
I have been looking at the textarea solution so that the look of the site can be preserved. But if it is feasible then it opens a whole new world.
My host is emphatic that FTP is not to be used with FPSE webs.

Just to make it clear:
If using FPSE, you must publish the pages with FPSE components on them, as just using FTp will upload them as coding, not "install" them. The server needs to be told that the pages use FPSE...or not as the case maybe, anything else (such as images..plaim html docs with no FPSE used), you can FTP to your hearts content.
Simple innit?

OK...
the page she wants to update herself does not use FPSE at all even though another page of her site does (the page with the feedback form).
I was under the impression that you could NOT FTP *anything* to a website using FPSE - that the entire extension set up would be corrupted.

So I could create a new page and FTP it up there. Link to it normally in my other pages - and the extensions won't be corrupt. Does the new page that won't have FPSE need to be in a new directory?
This would make life easier for her and for me....she wouldn't have to wait for me to change every little detail....and I woudn't have to change every little detail....

I have never had a FPSE corruption problem from using FTP along with it. I've used FP 2002 and 2003 with FTP, no problems.
Bobby,
The http://filezilla.sourceforge.net FTP client may be the answer to your "non problems". WSFTP and even the FrontPage FTP function will, at some point, hose FrontPage Extensions - at least here on the East Coast.
In any case, I intend to experiment with http://filezilla.sourceforge.net against a scratch site but plan to keep my fingers crossed the whole time.

so I understand exactly what FP Extentions ARE (since I have no clue what makes them "necessary", I just know from trial and error that the pages I've dealt with require them) and I really don't know anything about FTP either! haha. (other than it allows the uploading of files!) whew... Hey, I just took this thing over after it was already "in place", I just changed the looks a lot - and that is merely by "trial and error" process. I'm "learning as I go"...
