Can I upload with both FP2003 and WS_FTP

At work I upload web pages using Publish web site. However, I also have
large exe files (5 to 50 mb) that take forever to upload from FrontPage. I
find if I upload the large exe files from my home connection using WS_FTP it
goes much quicker. Also, the upload with WS_FTP is much more user friendly -
it tells me how much has gone and how much is still to go. With
FrontPage2003 I seem to get very little feedback on upload progress.

So here is the question - am I going to run into problems using both methods
to upload files?
Any other thoughts?
 
If you have the ability to create subwebs(subsites) on the remote server, then that would be the
safest approach to only upload to a subweb via FTP.

use ftp program only if you're not using the Frontpage extensions - other wsie
publish through frontpage.
 
If you are only using FTP to upload files that FP is (in effect)
linking to as external or data files, which sounds as if it may be the
case, you are unlikely to run into any trouble, though you may then
have to prevent FP unnecessarily updating these files. Web pages, and
particularly web pages using FP extensions, should only be modified
from within FP.
