Publishing Sites with Microsoft FrontPage

Microsoft FrontPage deals with two kinds of Web sites: disk-based and server-based. In short, a disk-based site is a FrontPage Web site you create on your local hard disk and then later publish to a Web server. A server-based site is one you create and work with directly on a Web server, without the extra step of publishing. This section provides you with instructions on publishing only disk-based web sites.

You can publish disk-based web sites either through FTP or HTTP. If your server is running FrontPage Server Extensions, you would publish your site to an HTTP location. For example: http://your-domain.com/MyWebSite. If your server supports FTP, you would publish to an FTP location. For example: ftp://ftp.your-domain.com/myFolder.

After publishing, you can manage your site through FrontPage Server Extensions.

To access FrontPage Server Extensions management interface:

  1. Log in to Plesk.
  2. Click the Domains shortcut in the navigation pane.
  3. Click the required domain name in the list.
  4. To manage a site, which is not protected by SSL, click FP Webadmin. To manage an SSL-enabled site, click FP-SSL Webadmin.
  5. Type your FrontPage administrator's login name and password, and click OK.

For instructions on using FrontPage server extensions, see online help (FP Webadmin > Help) or visit Microsoft web site.
