How to publish your local web site (disk based) to our servers using Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2003

This is the main view of the Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2003 window:

Getting Started.

 
Lets take a look at the File menu of Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2003 as this is where you will start each session working with your Web site. 
Note:
by default you may not see all options that are available on the menu. If you don't see the options you are looking for you need to keep the mouse pointer over the word "File", or click on the double down arrow at the bottom of the menu in order to reveal all available options.
                
 

Transfer a disk-based web to a server-based web

If you configured your computer as a local server when installing Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2003, and used it to create your Web site locally, you can use the following procedure to transfer your disk-based Web to server-based Web.

 
Open your disk-based Web in Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2003, and then publish the Web using HTTP, specifying the URL of your server as the location you want to publish to.                 

  
After choosing Publish option from the menu you will see the following dialog box:

In the "Specify the location to publish your web to:" field, you will need to type in the IP number that you have been supplied with. Always starts with "http://".

If you are publishing your site to the new location for the first time, you should check the "Publish all pages....". If your site contains subwebs (e.g. discussion group, and such, that require separate location and/or its own settings) you should check the "Include subsitess" check box under "Publish" tab.

After clicking on the "Publish" button you will see the progress of the publish process. You may be asked for your user name and password for the location you are about to publish your Web to. After the process is finished you should be able to use your site from our server by your IP number, or by your domain name (if your domain name has been registered or switched using proper settings to point to the new location).
