Publishing web with MS FrontPage
Microsoft FrontPage
Microsoft FrontPage is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web
building program. If you use, or plan to use FrontPage to build and
manage your website you must be sure to indicate this when opening
your account. FrontPage requires special "extensions" installed on
the server. If you do not have a FrontPage Account, you will need to
contact us to have your account modified before your FrontPage Web
will work.
Publishing Your FrontPage Web
After you have built your web pages on your computer, you will be
ready to publish them. Basically, this just means that you will
upload them to our server. Once this is done, your pages will be
viewable from the web. However, you must do this in the following
manner. Warning: FrontPage
Account holders should never use FTP to transfer files as it can
damage the FrontPage extensions.
- Launch FrontPage Explorer and open the web you’ve created on
your computer.
- From the menu at the top of the window, select File, then
Publish
- If this is the first time you publish to our server, select
More Webs and enter the location you want to publish your
FrontPage web to. (www.yourdomain.com) Hit Return (Enter) on your
keyboard.
- If you have published to the server before, your "Destination
Web Server" (www.yourdomain.com) will appear in the Publish
window. IMPORTANT: Use
www.yourdomain.com as the Destination Web Server to publish to our
server. Leave the "Destination Web Name" blank.
- You will be asked for your USERNAME and PASSWORD. This is your
domain's User ID and your FrontPage Password (which may be
different than your regular Telnet/FTP/POP password). If you're
not sure what it is or if you aren't allowed past this point,
you'll need to contact us for a new FrontPage password.
- You can watch the progression of the upload by looking at the
bottom left corner of FrontPage Explorer.
Open Your Published Web
Once your FrontPage Web is published and online, you will need to
access it to make updates and changes. Be sure that you are
connected to the internet before attempting to open your web on our
server.
- Open FrontPage Explorer and choose File > Open FrontPage Web.
- You can now choose to open a previously created web on your PC
or your web on our server.
- Highlight the appropriate web or type in the web address (www.yourdomain.com)
and click OK.
- Enter your Username and FrontPage Password if required.
- Make modifications and recalculate links if needed. (See your
FrontPage Manual for info on when it's necessary to recalculate
links.)
