FrontPage

General Info
FrontPage extensions are included free with all accounts. Keep in mind that you will need a copy of the FrontPage program from Microsoft before you can begin to follow the directions below.

Please also note that your domain name will need to be activated on our name-server before FrontPage will be available to you on your account.


Login:
Choose "Open FrontPage Web" from the File Menu in FrontPage Explorer. Once you have done this, it will ask you for a Web-Server of File Location. Enter http://yourdomain.com and then "list webs". Next, you will need to select (double-click) the root web. The requested login and password are the same as those you use for your FTP account.


Usage:
FrontPage supplies you with two separate interfaces. FrontPage Explorer is used to manage files within your website. If you open a file in your website, another program, called FrontPage Editor, will open. When you are connected to your website, all changes made to any file you edit will be saved to your website.

*Note: Although the software documentation states that you can create a site on your computer and then "publish" it to the web-server, we do not recommend this. On a number of occasions, publishing to the server from your computer loses the Interactive web-bots features that you may have set-up when designing your site on your local computer. Conversely, we recommend that you create your entire site while connected to your website and save directly to the server. To move files already created on your website, use the Import command found under the File menu - within FrontPage Explorer - to select the files to import to the server. This is by far the best method to move files from your hard drive to the server. Using FTP to upload is not recommended, as this may overwrite important files. Also, only edit .htaccess if you know what you're doing.

Additional support documents and complete usage instructions can be found at Microsoft's official FrontPage Home Page. http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage
