HTTP Publish Tool

Publish using HTTP if your web hosting server has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed. Otherwise, you must publish your web using FTP publish tool.

  1. On the menu bar, select File | Publish Web or Publish Site
  2. Type the location of your website.  (For example, http://www.icemocha.com)
  3. Click Options to expand the list of options.  For FrontPage 2003, click Optimize or Publishing tabs to see the list of options.
  4. Click Publish or OK

To download your website from your web hosting server:

  1. On the menu bar, select File > Open Web(FP2000, 2002) or File > Open Site(FP2003). In the Folder name(FP2000), Web name(FP2002) or Site Name(FP2003), enter your web address(eg. http://www.yourwebsite.com) and click Open.
  2. Go to File > Publish Web or Publish Site.
  3. Type or select the location of your local web folder(eg. C:\My Web)
  4. Click Options to expand the list of options.  For FrontPage 2003, click Optimize or Publishing tabs to see the list of options.
  5. Click Publish or OK.

Note.  Certain files should not be published again after you first publish your web. For example, you create a web with a guestbook, and then publish the web. Later, you update your web pages, if you publish all of your files, including the file that records guestbook information, you will save a blank guestbook over the existing one, losing all the information. Other examples include pages with a hit counter; discussion webs; and catalogs (if you are running Index Server).
