As an alternative to publishing directly to the server, you may create your Web site on your local computer then upload the finished project to the server.
This method is preferred if you desire a backup copy of your site or wish to test the site before release.
Follow the below steps to create a local Web and upload it to the server:
Launch Microsoft® FrontPage 2000® from your desktop or Start menu.
The Microsoft FrontPage editor opens, as shown below:
Enter text or graphics as you would in a word-processing environment.
When you are finished, save the page by clicking the Save icon from the toolbar or by selecting Save from the File menu.
NOTE: The first time you save the page, you are prompted for a file name and location. Either choose your own settings or use the defaults provided and then click Save.
Your Web site is now ready on your local computer.
When you are ready to upload your work from your local computer to the Internet, click on File then Publish Web.
Enter your full domain name in the dialog box, as shown below.
If you want to publish to a subdirectory of your Web site, specify this with a slash (/) after your domain, for example: http://www.yourdomain.com/sales.
If you would like choices on what exactly to publish, click on the Options button to view the following choices:
When you are ready, click Publish.
When prompted, enter your account username and password and click OK.
When you receive the following confirmation box, click Done.
The FrontPage client will publish the entire Web as your main Web site, or Root Web. Depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of your Web site, this process may take a significant amount of time.
