Transferring from one computer to another

[Guest]

The copy of FrontPage I am using was moved from one computer to another since
the last time I used it. I followed Microsoft's protocol for doing this, and
the program seems to work okay.

I don't know the last time I updated the files on the my site, but I
wouldn't be surprised if I haven't done so since I switched computers.

When I click file --> publish--> publish destination --> browse, and I
select the folder labelled with my domain name, as I did before, I get an
error message that says "Documents in this folder are not available.
Documents may have been moved or deleted, or network problems may be
preventing a connection to the server."

I know that my connectivity to the Internet is good, and I know the site is
up and running. I think the problem probably lies somewhere in the fact that
when I transferred the program to a new computer I did not transfer all the
files I needed. Those files exist, at least for now, on my web hosting
service, and I am pretty sure they are SOMEWHERE in the files I transferred
from the old computer to the new on. What do I do to make the publish
function work correctly?

As always, I would appreciate your prompt attention to this.

Sue, on the assumption that your site on the server is correct, open the
site live in FrontPage and Publish to a folder on your computer. Choose to
Publish all files. When prompted that your destination location doesn't have
the FrontPage Server Extensions installed, continue...
