Uploading with Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000
The instructions on this page refer to the latest version, Microsoft
FrontPage 2000, and may differ slightly from the method users of FrontPage 97/98
would use. To begin you will need your domain name or IP address, your User Name,
and your password. Also, it is recommended that you use FrontPage to create a
local copy of the Web site on your hard drive first, then upload the Web to the
server. JP's High Tech World, Inc. does not recommend real-time editing of the
Web site directly on the server without first saving a local backup copy.
Creating a new FrontPage web:
To create a new FrontPage
web, follow the following steps: - Start the FrontPage Explorer on your
system. You should see the 'Getting Started' dialogue. If you don't see the 'Getting
Started' dialogue, then go to the 'File' menu and select 'New' and 'FrontPage
Web'.
- Select 'Create New FrontPage Web'.
- When the
'New FrontPage Web' dialogue appears, you will see two sections numbered '1' and
'2'. In section 1, choose what type of Web you want to begin work on, or pick
a specific Web site template. Under number 2, you will see a requester asking
for the name of the new web. You should leave this blank if you want this
Web to be the default (or first) Web for your JP's High Tech World, Inc.'s
account.
- You can also change the location that the Web site will
be saved on your hard drive here by selecting 'Browse' under the path name. Be
sure you make note of the location of the new Web on your hard drive, so you can
publish it to the server later.
- You are now ready to create the
Web using whatever techniques you wish to produce the finished Web site. Your
FrontPage documentation should have many helpful hints to assist you in the creation
of your site.
Publishing your Web site to the server:
Now you should be ready to publish the new Web site to the server using the following
steps: - Connect to your Internet Service Provider.
- If you
are not already looking at the local copy of your Web site using FrontPage Explorer,
then start FrontPage and select 'Open and Existing FrontPage Web' from the 'Getting
Started' dialogue. (If you do not see the 'Getting Started' dialogue, select 'File',
and 'Open FrontPage Web'.)
- From here, you should see a list of available,
recently-opened FrontPage webs. Select the one you wish to upload and click 'OK'.
Alternately, you can select 'More Webs', type in the location of the Web on your
hard drive, such as 'c:\myweb' or similar, and click on 'List Webs' to find your
'Root Web'.
- Go to the file menu and select 'Publish'. You will see
one of two possible requesters open, asking for the name of the Web server. If
you see your IP address or domain on the existing list (ie. you have uploaded
previously to your site), then just choose it and click 'OK'. If not, you will
need to select 'More Webs', and type in your domain name or IP address. You will
also see an option to 'Publish Changed Pages Only', which you may want to deselect
if this is the first time you have published to the server. Your Web site should
then be published to the server automatically. Make sure the default home page
is named 'index.html', so that the site will be visible when you visit it with
your Web browser.
For more assistance, please visit our Support Area. Although our technical support personnel do not provide assistance
for the FrontPage software itself, we do make sure the extensions are functioning
correctly on your account. Also, you can access technical support documents directly
from Microsoft at this
location. |
