I write my website on my computer using Frontpage 2003 and then upload the
pages and other materials (mostly Word and PowerPoint documents) to my
institutions web server via FTP. In the past, this has worked flawlessly.
Last week my institution replaced my computer and the trouble started. I
have no problem logging into the server, but the transfer of data occurs with
glacial slowness and invariably terminates with the error message: "503 Bad
Sequence of Commands." Each time some of my changes make it up successfully
to the server, but I cannot load all my pages and documents. Does anyone
have an idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

In Remote Web Site Properties, on the Remote Web Site tab, tick the "Use
Passive FTP" checkbox. If this is already ticked, then clear it.
See if that helps.
