What
is the easiest way to upload my
site via FTP?
The easiest way to upload your
pages via FTP, is to simply
use your browser.
If you are using Internet Explorer
5 or later you can use it
as an FTP program.
You need to
enter the URL of your
domain name in the browsers
address window
in the following form:
ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com
where yourdomain
is YOUR actual domain
name.
You will then
be prompted to enter your username
and password, as originally
sent to you in your "welcome
letter".
You will then
be logged into your root web
directory, where you can either
drag and drop your web pages,
or cut and paste them
into the browser window.
Your default or home page, should
be named index.html or
index.htmll
There are many
other FTP programs available
on the web and you may use any
of your choosing. If you'd like
to see what else is out there,
here is a list of download sites
for you to browse:
If you are publishing a web to
the Web server you must have Microsoft
FrontPage Server Extensions installed
on it. If your account does not
contact support. Publish a
web using HTTP
Publish the
files in the current web when
you are ready to present your
web for public viewing, or when
you want to update the files
in your web. You can publish
using HTTP (HyperText Transfer
Protocol) if the the FrontPage
Server Extensions are installed
on the Web server to which you
are publishing.
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 local web to the files
on the Web server, and only
those files that are newer
than those on the Web server
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Publish will not be published.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 from the local web
will overwrite all files on
the destination Web server,
even if the files on the Web
server are newer.
On the File
menu, click Publish
Web.
Click Options
to expand the list of options.
Specify whether
you want to publish only pages
that have changed, or all
pages.
In the Specify
the location to publish your
web to box, type
the location of a Web server,
click the arrow to select
a location to which you have
published before, or click
Browse to
find the publishing location.
Click Publish.
FrontPage
publishes your web. If you
want to verify that your web
was successfully published,
click the hyperlink that is
displayed after the web has
been published — your Web
browser will open to the site
you just 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
Do
I publish to my IP addres or my
website name?
For best results with Frontpage
98/2000 use your website name
when publishing. For example:
"myname.com" would be CORRECT
while the IP address 123.456.789.012
would be INCORRECT. Publish directly
to your DOMAIN name -- not your
IP address. [Back

Can
I use Frontpage and an FTP program?
It is not recommended that you
use Frontpage AND an FTP program.
You can destroy the Frontpage
extensions if you use Frontpage
and FTP at the same time.
This is a common error found in
a Web browser when you are attempting
to run a Perl or CGI script that
has problems. The three most common
reasons for this error are the
following:
Your script
permissions are set wrong.
Try setting them to 777 temporarily
while troubleshooting the
error.
Your script
was uploaded in binary file
format instead of ASCII. You
must upload Perl and CGI scripts
in ASCII format only.
Your path
to Perl line is wrong. The
very first line in your Perl
program must be "#!/usr/bin/perl".
You cannot have any spaces
between your characters, and
you cannot have any hard returns
or text lines before this
line.
If none of these
three reasons correct your errors,
then you may want to take a look
at your Error Log files. If the
script is coded to print the errors
it encounters, these will be displayed
in your Error Log file of your
server.
If all else
fails, you can usually find
the script errors by logging
in to your server via Telnet
and running the script from
the command line. Once you are
logged into the server, you
must change directories until
you are in the one in which
your script resides. At that
point, type the following at
the command line:
perl filename.cgi
-w
Note: There should
be one space after the word "perl".
"filename.cgi" should be the actual
filename of the script you are
having problems with. "-w" is
a warning switch, this will prompt
Perl to give you any errors it
sees in the script and it will
give the line number that the
error is on or near.
When adding new files such as
CGI, Perl, etc. it is necessary
to set specific permissions for
the script to work.
The UNIX directory and file structure
has a system of permissions. You
have permission to read
a file, you have permission to
write to a file, and finally,
you have permission to execute
a file. However, you are
not always you. Unix splits
identities into three categories.
The first is you, the owner
of the file. The second is the
group you belong to. And
third, others is the world,
basically anyone who comes to
your website.
To change permissions
you must issue a "change mode
command", or more commonly referred
to as the UNIX command "chmod".
The documentation for your file
or script will usually come
with the proper permissions
you need to set for your program
to work. To set permissions,
there are basically 2 methods
UNIX recognizes.
With FTP (and Telnet) your file
properties are shown as -rwxr-xr-x.
The first space designates if
this is a directory by the letter
"d".
The next three characters designate
the permissions for the "owner",
r = read, w = write, and x =
execute if the permission is
set to "on" and "-" is the permission
is set to off.
Permissions for the "group"
and "world" (other) are designated
by characters 5-7 and 8-10 respectively.
The second method we are calling
the alpha method because permissions
are set, by way of a telnet
session, using alpha characters.
You simply specify with the
group or groups whose settings
you want to change ("u" represents
"user" or you, "g" represents
"group", "o" represents other
or world and "a" represents
"all") and all the settings
you want to change ("r" for
read access, "w" for write access,
and "x" for execute access).
To set your file world-writable,
you would type "chmod o+w
". To set it executable
to everyone, you would use "chmod
a+x ". The plus
sign indicates you're adding
permissions. You can use a minus
sign to remove permissions.
