I contacted our new host to provide information so I can
start the transfer process of our website from Earthlink.
However, instead of helping me through the steps, they
already turned on our domain and is now 'under
construction' with this new host.

I did not have a chance to download the files from
Earthlink and now they are inaccessible through FrontPage.
(The user ID and password no longer work.)

Is there a way to use WS FTP to download/upload the files
and fix the links and other problems after the fact? I'm
using FrontPage '98.

Thanks.
 
If you have copy on your local machine, just PUBLISH up to the new server. Don't use ftp or your links will may be broken, along with a lot of other features you may be using. If you don't have copy on local machine...uh oh. Your new server has FP extension right? (say yes)

The only way to use ftp is if Earthlink still has the files available, and
if they will allow you to do it. They will also have to provide you with an
appropriate password.

You'll need to contact them.
