Setting up Frontpage2003
From DreamHost
| Effective June 30, 2006 the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for UNIX have been End-of-Lifed. That means that they will never be upgraded in the future to support things like Apache2, for example. FrontPage Extensions may work now, however DreamHost strongly discourages the use of them and reserves the right to stop offering this feature in the future. |
To setup FrontPage 2003 with our system all you have to do is setup the FTP
transfer settings, this way you don't have to use FrontPage extensions which
will break things and is not a good way to transfer files to us, anyways her is
how you setup FrontPage 2003 with FTP transfering.
once you have FrontPage 2003 open you will need to go to "view" then to "Remote
Web Site" if "Remote Web Site" is grayed
out that means that you either have not saved your website correctly or you have
not yet created one.
Once you open the "Remote Web Site" screen you will need to select how you want
to connect to your server, click on
"Remote Web Site Properties"
In the Options window that opens up you will need to
1. Select "FTP"
2. Enter in your ftp address (ftp://yourwebsite.com) if you url is not
active use your server name (ftp://servername.dreamhost.com)
3. Enter in your FTP directory... DO NOT LEAVE THIS
EMPTY this is where FrontPage 2003 will upload your website to, you
need to enter in the domain directory that you choose for your website...
usually its the same as your website name, if you are un sure what it is contact
support and ask us.
4. Select "Passive Mode" with out this your not getting anywhere.
Then you will have to enter your login information, This is not the same login
information that you use to login to the WebPanel. It is the FTP user that you
have assigned to the domain.
That's it your in like Flynn and now you can upload your files, you will see
this when your connected, your local files that are on your computer will
be on the left side and your Dreamhost account will be on your left.
