| How
do I publish my website with FrontPage? |
- Ask
us to install the FrontPage Server Extensions for
you if you haven't already (there is no charge for
this).
-
Make sure that your home page is called index.html
- or that you have deleted the index.html page
on your site using FTP. Otherwise your home page will
not replace the default home page that was created
when your account was setup.
-
Click on the publish button (you may have to select
'more webs' in the dialog that follows, depending
on your version of FrontPage.
-
Enter the name of your website - e.g. http://www.mysite.co.uk
-
In older versions of FrontPage a window will appear
that contains an extry called <root web> -
select this.
- Remember
that usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
- Your
website will now be updated.

| How
do I upload my website with FTP? |
- We
recommend a graphical FTP program - such as
WinFTP Pro.
- Remember
that usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
-
Set up an FTP connection to: ftp.yoursite.co.uk
(substitute your site name.. e.g. ftp.test.co.uk).
- For
a non-graphical FTP client, type: CD /web/
-
For a graphical client, set the startup directory
to: /web/ (remember the / at the end) - this is the
best way. Or click on the .. folders which appear
until you see the directories: logs, users, web and
then double click on web.
-
If you do not set a start-up directory or navigate
to /web/, you will be publishing to /users/yourusername/web/
which is incorrect. You need to be publishing
to /web/ for the published content to be visible.
-
Or: click on the .. folders which
appear until you get there.
-
Now copy your website across.

| I've
uploaded my site, but I can only see your default page! |
- Try
pressing the refresh/reload button in your browser.
The web browser running on your computer maintains
a cache (store) of your recently visited pages to
speed up operation. Unless you do refresh/reload,
even if you have just uploaded a new page, it will
often show you the old version, reading it from your
local hard-disk.
- If
you published using FTP, you may have published to
the wrong location by accident. The correct
location to upload to is /web/ (including both slashes).
Please read the "How do
I publish my website" section above to find
the correct location.
-
In either case, your homepage must be named index.html.
When your account was setup the default page was created.
If you do not name your homepage index.html then the
default page will not be replaced!
