Using Microsoft FrontPage to transfer files to your site

Once you have created your documents using FrontPage you are going to need to move them from your local computer onto your virtual server.

FrontPage Hosting Overview

If you opt to use FrontPage on your domain, access to your domain space is only supported using FrontPage. You may not add or delete files in this directory using telnet or standard FTP.

Since FrontPage uses its own cgi-bin directory, any custom CGI scripts or programs must be copied into a separate cgi-bin directory using standard FTP. All references to CGI scripts should be fully qualified, and made as follows: http://www.yourcompany.com/yourcompanycgi/your_script_name. The cgi-bin subdirectory is aliased for URL reference purposes. For example, if your domain name is greatstuff.com, you would make all references to scripts in your web pages and other scripts as greatstuffcgi/your_script_name. Replace yourcompany.com with your domain name or IP address and your_script_name with your actual CGI script or program name.

You will need the following information to log your FTP software into your new site: User ID, Password. ATR/IHPS can provide this information to you by e-mail when we set up your new site. If you misplace or lose the information, please e-mail requesting the information again.

Copying your FrontPage Web to your Virtual Domain

	Once you have created your site using FrontPage, connect to the Internet.
	Start FrontPage Explorer.
	Once in FrontPage Explorer open your newly created web site on your local computer.
	From the File Menu choose Publish FrontPage Web and enter the URL for your new site (for example, www.yourcompany.com) for the Destination Web Server.
	Enter your User ID and Password, then choose "OK" to start copying your local web to your virtual server. This may take a little time depending on your connection speed to the Internet and the quantity and size of your files.

Please use your FrontPage manual for additional information.
