Using FrontPage 2000. Publishing files using FTP

You can publish files to your account; you can't administer Webs that does not run the FrontPage Server Extensions. Because you are publishing to a Web (or account) that does not run the FrontPage Server Extensions, you will be notified if the Web (or files in your computer) contains any features that require the server extensions.

Before you publish your web, you can specify which pages you want to publish. Then, when you publish your web, you have the following options:

  • Publish only the files that have changed. FrontPage compares the files on your computer to the files on your account, and only those files that are newer than those on your account are published. However, files that have been marked Don't Publish will not be published.
  • Publish all files, except those that have been marked Don't Publish. The files on your computer will overwrite all files on your account, even if the files on your account are newer.
  1. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
  2. Click Options to expand the list of options.
  3. Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed, or all pages.
  4. In the Specify the location to publish your web to box, type:

    (Students)
    ftp://turbo.kean.edu/~accountname/WWW
    (Student Groups)
    ftp://turbo.kean.edu/~accountname/WWW
    (Faculties)
    ftp://turbo.kean.edu/~accountname/WWW
    (Staff)
    ftp://turbo.kean.edu/~accountname/WWW

    (replace accountname with your account e.g., jdoe)
    or click the arrow to select a location to which you have published before.
    Browse is not recommended for FTP publishing.
     
  5. Click Publish.
    FrontPage publishes your web. By browsing to your web (account), you can verify that your web was successfully published.
    If you cancel publishing in the middle of the operation, files that have already been published remain on the destination Web server.

Tip   To publish only pages that have changed to the same location you previously published to, click Publish.


Specify pages to publish
You can specify which files you want to publish. By default, files are marked for publishing, but you can change this setting. For example, if you have not finished editing a page but you want to publish your Web site, you can prevent the page from being published by marking it Don't Publish. When you want to publish the file, mark the page Publish.

Certain files should not be published again after you first publish your web. For example, you create a web with a guestbook, and then publish the web. Later, you update your web pages — if you publish all of your files, including the file that records guestbook information, you will save a blank guestbook over the existing one, losing all the information. Other examples include pages with a hit counter; discussion webs; and catalogs (if you are running Index Server).

  1. On the View menu, point to Reports, and then click Publish Status.
    The publishing status of all files in the current web is displayed.
  2. Select one or more files, right-click them, click Properties on the shortcut menu, and then click the Workgroup tab.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To prevent a file from being published, select the Exclude this file when publishing the rest of the web check box.
    • To mark a file for publishing, clear the Exclude this file when publishing the rest of the web check box.

Tip   You can right-click the page icon from the Folder List in any view, click Properties on the shortcut menu, and then click the Workgroup tab.
