FP and FTP co-exist?

[Andy Asberry]

I use FP 2003 to publish from a sloooow 26.4 k connection. A friend
has a 76 meg file I would like on my site. He is on a broadband
hookup. He uses Cute Site Builder.

This will be a new site. This will be his only contribution. Can we
publish to the same site? Who should publish first?

Suggestions I haven't thought of?

Have him upload the file first. Then you can publish, and say no if prompted to delete his file. By
the way, are you sure your users are going to download a 76 MB file, and have you considered the
impact on your monthly bandwidth usage?

if you have the frontpage extensions, you can't because it will corrupt the files
that provide functionality for your site. eg the form handler, site search or
even the hit counter, among other things.

I have a remote website hosted without FP extensions, I am dial-up and have
given up trying to upload large pdf file to it. I have friend with DSL which
has offered to FTP the pdf file to the site. Will this work or is there any
special procedure I need to follow?

Thanks for information.

Hi Susan,

Since you don't have the extensions on the site it should be OK.
This will mean that you will have to give him the users name and the
password. I don't know if that is an issue.
I would create a folder on the site and have him upload to that folder if
possible.

It would have been used by a very small audience. We are going to
distribute it on CD. Thanks for the info though.
