above the File Upload component: [FrontPage File Upload Component] If you select a file and upload it, you receive the
following error message: Cannot run the FrontPage Server
Extensions on this page: "http://server name/page name" Also, when
you author directly on a Web server, you cannot change the folder properties to
permit anonymous uploads from FrontPage 2003. CAUSEThis behavior may occur if your Web site is located on an
Apache Web server. The File Upload form does not work with an Apache Web
server.STATUS This
behavior is by design.MORE INFORMATIONThe anonymous uploads option is turned off to prevent
anonymous uploads that can make the Web server vulnerable to attack. Otherwise,
a user can potentially upload a file that can run malicious code.
