Publish your Web site

What's new home

Remote Web site view

The new Remote Web Site view in Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 helps you publish entire Web sites and individual files and folders to any location— an extended Web server, a Web server that supports the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), or a location in your file system.

Remote Web Site view displays the files in both the local Web site and the remote Web site. Icons and descriptive text indicate the status of your files and folders, and the synchronization feature helps ensure that you don't overwrite any files or folders accidentally.

Connecting to remote Web sites

The new remote Web site dialog box allows you to specify connection settings, and it helps you to manage connection types and protocols— including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or passive FTP.

Publish to FTP and WebDAV servers

Work with others by using the new site-building tools found in FrontPage 2003. File locking is provided on WebDAV servers using WebDAV file locking. On FTP servers, file locking is supported through the use of .lck files. These files are fully compatible with those used by Macromedia Dreamweaver, so you can work with Dreamweaver users on an FTP server without accidentally overwriting each other's changes.
