FTP vs http transfer. Shared Border cont

[Mary Beth]

I was advised by my ISP to change from WSFTP to http
transfer to a newly enabled FrontPg extension server. I
have had an ongoing prob with Shared Borders and wanted
to try transfering my website using FrontPg "Publish"
which I did on 7/19 with no shared borders. On 7/20 I
got Shared borders to work without grief and transferred
the entire site again. What published was index with
both old and new shared borders and navigation buttons
each working for the 7/19 & 7/20 sites. Cute.

I e'd my ISP and was told that they can't separate the
two and they may have to clear the directory. In the mean
time Shared borders was making pages disappear after edit
and save so I didn't use shared borders and emptied the
border file and transferred again. At least there was
now one site...but the OLD one not the edited one. I
edited something on each htm. pg and transferred again
7/23. No updates were seen again. So I am currently
awaiting the directory to be cleared by ISP.

I can't be having ISP clear the direrctory for every
edit. What do you suggest? Is there another program to
http transfer to FP extension servers? I really liked
the choice of FTP exactly what is needed and deleting the
old. That is the first problem.

The Shared Border problem was never resolved. I tried
your advice of 6/28/04 2:35PM doing what was advised in
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 298827. When I
arrived at the final folders, what was in them did not
match the advise and I wouldn't delete that reistry. Any
other advise?

Thanks for your help,
Mary Beth

MSKB article 298827 is something your host neeeds to do.
Applying it to a local server won't harm anything, but
neither will it solve anything.

You might also want to try this procedure, which cures
both the source and destination sites of any old errors
that may be getting in the way.

Dear Helpers,

Thanks for the Shared border advise. Can you address
the ? about transferring vs FTP? I have no shared
borders published, and the newly edited site has none
either. The html is clean of any reference to borders
and a whole new site was transferred but not published.
Thank you for your input,
Mary Beth

If the remote site has the FP extensions, then do not use FTP to upload content, use FP File Menu |
Publish Web / Site and enter http://www.yourdomainname.com and then your login info.

Using FTP will corrupt the extensions and will need to be re-installed by your host. Only use FTP if
you fully understand how the extensions work.
