To begin publishing your web page with FrontPage 2000, follow these steps:
1. From the file menu at the top of FrontPage, Click File and then select Publish Web.
2. A new pop-up screen will appear. Click on the Options button.
3. On this screen enter your FTP address or choose Browse. Using the example in the image below, replace that in blue with your domain name, and make sure the %2F is there (shown in red). The rest of the FTP location should look the same as it does in the image below. The path in the image below is showing FrontPage exactly where to upload your files, including which directory.
4. On the same screen select your options as shown below.
5. Once you have verified everything is correct, click on the Publish button.
6. A message will appear alerting you to the fact that the server does not support FrontPage extensions. Click OK.
7. Click Publish a second time.
8. It is now time to enter your account Username and Password
This information is provided within your activation letter and is the same username and password you would use when entering your Admin Control Panel. Once you have entered the correct information, click the OK button.
9. A screen should now appear showing you the progress of the files that are being transferred.
10. That's it! The program should now let you know that the pages have been published successfully. Click Done.
Tip: When publishing with FrontPage, the program will compare files on your web site with the files on your hard drive, and offer to delete files on the server not on your hard drive. Each time its loaded and FrontPage finds files that are on your server and not on your hard drive, it will ask if you want to delete the files. Since you may not want to delete those files, a way to keep it from asking this is to create the same directory structure on your hard drive for folders that show up on the server but not on your local machine. When you publish the web, tell FrontPage not to publish any sub directory. - Updated: March 1, 2002
