Installation/Removal of FrontPage Extensions
FrontPage Transfer Protocol & Internet Traffic
Making ".exe" Files Downloadable
Publishing with FrontPage2000

Important Things To Know (summary):

  1. If you signed up for a FrontPage account, we initially installed FrontPage extensions for your site. If you decide that you no longer wish to use FrontPage, and you make this decision after the first 30 days from when you setup your account, you will be charged a $30 fee to have them removed. Likewise, if you initially signed up for an account without FrontPage, and you later decide that you want to use FrontPage, you will be charged a $30 fee for the installation of the extensions (unless you make the decision within the aforementioned 30-day grace period).

  2. FrontPage is a good product, however its transfer protocol is temperamental and does not react well to heavy traffic. Therefore it is a good idea to have each of your directories created as their own sub-web, and then "publish" it to your site. Try to keep each individual web down to 1 or 2 megabytes. Larger webs will tend to "timeout" when publishing.

  3. If you want your visitors to download ".exe" files from your site, there is a small amount of work involved.   First, you must place the .exe files in a subdirectory of your root or sub-web.  They cannot be in the root directory of a web or the frontpage web bots will not work.  Second, you need to create a file named .htaccess in the subdirectory containing the .exe's . The only contents of the file will be:

    AddType application/octet-stream        exe  EXE

    This can also be done in your /docs directory if you wish to keep the files out of your frontpage directories.

  4. Last thing to remember is "You Must Be Online To Publish You Web".
