How to publish a Web to an unextended server by using FTP in FrontPage 2003 (825503)

INTRODUCTION

An unextended Web server is a Web server that does not have the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions installed. This article describes how to publish a Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 Web to an unextended Web server by using FTP.

To publish files and folders in a Web site to a Web server that supports FTP, open and save a copy of the site to your computer, edit the files and folders in that copy, and then publish the updated files and folders to the server.

1. On the View menu, click Remote Web Site.
2. At the top of the document window, click Remote Web Site Properties.

4. In the Remote Web site location box, type the address, including the FTP protocol, of the remote Web site that you want to publish folders and files to ( for example, ftp://example.com), or click Browse, and then locate the site.
5. If you want to view a specific folder when you connect to the site, in the FTP directory box, type the path of the folder--for example type www/images.
6. If the server that hosts the remote Web site uses a different port every time that you publish files and folders to the site, click to select the Use Passive FTP check box.
