Publishing From Microsoft FrontPage Through FTP
If you are publishing from a computer at work, ask your IT department, help desk, or network administrator if you are allowed to publish with FTP beyond a firewall. Also ask if you need to install special software that allows you to publish beyond the firewall.
To publish files through FTP:
- Open your FrontPage program.
- Open a FrontPage Web site: open File menu and select the Open Site item.
- Go to Remote Web site view: click the Web Site tab, and then the Remote Web Site button at the bottom of the window.
- Set up your Remote Web Site Properties:
- Click the Remote Web Site Properties button in the upper-right corner of the window.
- Select FTP as the remote Web server.
- In the Remote Web site location box, type your host name (e.g., ftp://ftp.your-domain.com)
- In the FTP directory box, type your FTP directory if your hosting company provided one. Leave it blank if they did not specify one.
- Select the Use Passive FTP check box if your computer or network is protected by a firewall.
- Click OK to connect to the remote site.
The Remote Web site view will show files that you have in your local and remote sites.
- Click the Publish Web site button in the lower-right corner of the window.
