Publishing

Step 1:

Open the local or source remote server web site.
This is the one that has the files you wish to copy/move to your new web site.

You may want to verify that you have no "broken" links before publishing:

Step 2:

Run the "Publish Web..." command under "File" on the menu bar.
This command opens up the the publish dialog box. This is where you give FrontPage the information it needs to know to send your files to the server using the Frontpage Extensions.

Complete the following fields in the dialog box:

1. Choose or type the destination server and directory of the new web site.
Enter your web site's domain name under the text: "Specify the location to publish your web to:"

2. If this is the first time you are publishing your web site, or you want to make sure everything is sent up to the server, choose the option "Publish all pages, overwriting any already on the destination". Otherwise, always choose the "Publish changed pages only" option.

3. If you have subwebs created, you can also include them in the publish by checking "Include subwebs". If you don't know what this is, you probably don't have any, so leave it unchecked.

4. SSL is not currently configured on the server. However, the Microsoft NTLM authentication protocol is running on the server. It ensures that your name and password login is encrypted when you login or publish to the web site. Leave this option unchecked.

5. Press the Publish button to begin the update.

6. Enter your username and password. Once you have entered them successfully, you can watch FrontPage list the files as it sends them to the server. When the publish is done, FrontPage will give you a successful message with a hyperlink where you can then view your web site to verify that the publish was successful.

Other Publishing Notes:
  • If you get a dialog box asking a yes/no question to add/delete, choose "Yes to All".
    This will automatically replace and update new files without you having to confirm each one.
  • If you get a navigation question, always choose the "Replace Navigation" option.
