Need the complete picture - 2/20/2007 21:39:00
My day of research has helped much -- but I still don't understand the entire picture. However, many of the "pieces of the puzzle" answers have come from your excellent forums!
My scenario: I work from my home office on Windows XP. I want to use Front Page 2003 on my computer to create, edit and publish to an Intranet site.
The client had me install VPN Client on my computer in order to access a computer at their company and to evaluate the existing site. The computer also hosts (is?) a 2003 v. 6 Windows server. There is no FP software on that computer. I do have a user name and password.
I read that I will need to have admin privileges in order to publish to that server and the company must enable remote connections (presumably they already have since I can access through VPN Client).
My questions are:
1. Do I also need to modify my host file and add their site's ip address and name?
2. The client created a new one-page site within a folder (I believe) of the default site -- is that correct?
3. Once all systems are go, will I be able to import the existing one-page site into my FP and continue on? Or is there any reason not to create and upload the entire site from my computer?
4. Is there any wisdom in installing Front Page on the client's computer and working at that location?
Am I getting "warm?"
Thanks so much for all the hours and hours many of you spend answering questions.

So are you working on the client's computer (but you said it did not have FP software). Where is FP installed?

Front Page is installed on my computer and I am working remotely with the client computer via a software called VPN Client.

Are you going to be using Frontpage components (like forms) and rely on Frontpage server extensions? If so you must publish to the domain name / IP address via Frontpage. If you are just using it as a WYSIWYG editor, you can just copy the files over to the server via the tunnel.
As far as what the client did - that's fine. I am guessing that is the server and it is an intranet.
Don't import - publish. You can publish from the server to the local computer but if you don't need that page - no need to get it.
Installing Frontpage on his computer would require him to have a license and if he does not, I would not recommend it
