Title Frontpage 2002/XP Guide

To make changes with FrontPage, you have 2 basic options:

Option 1  (Recommended) Publish your site once from your computer, then for any future changes, edit the pages directly on the server.  Follow Part A, then part B for future changes.  Do Part C to create backups of the web site.
 

Option 2:   Publish your site from your computer, then re-publish each time to make changes.  Follow Part A each time.

Part A (recommended to do this once, then do Part B each time you make changes.)

This walkthrough covers the steps necessary to publish a FrontPage Web on your system to your Netfronts Web site, and assumes you have installed FrontPage extensions using your Control Panel.
