Edit my webpage from work??????

[scott.ziegelmeyer]

I am new to frontpage 2003 and server 2003, IIs 6.0. I am hosting my
own website on a box at my house that i am running the previously
mentioned software and os on. I am trying to figure out how to edit my
website from work during the day. Like i said i am new at this. The
site is up and running fine. When i go to the page from work i can
click on edit with Fp and it will launch FP with my front page ready to
edit. Whenever i make changes and save it saves on my local drive. What
do i need to do to have that sent back to my server or am i doing it
all wrong. Any help would be great. If anyone knows another good FP
reference site that would be good also.

Thanks

Hi Scott,

You need to open the site in FrontPage, rather then using the "Edit With
FrontPage" command in the browser. Use the public IP address or domain name
of the web site to open it.

I open FP and chose file-open site ? Do i type the name of the site in
the site name box at the bottom? It defaults to look in my web sites
folder on the hard drive. Do i change that to something else? Thanks
for your last reply.

Thanks
Scott

I just tried putting http://www.xxxx.com and it says it isn't
accessible. The folder may be located in an unavailible location,
protected with a password, or the filename contains a/ or \.. It never
prompts me for a passsword. Do i need to set something up on the
server?
thanks

The folder <sitename/folder> isn't accessible. The folder may be located in
an unavailable location, protected with a password or the file name contains
a"/" or a "\".

bypasses the web folders, which may be corrupted: www.jimcosoftware.com

Type the full URL of your site including the 'http://'

Is it possible there's a proxy server running at work that would prevent you
from doing this? At the office where I used to work, unless the Network
Manager added a site to BorderManager, we couldn't open it in FrontPage.

You need to ask this question in a windows server group.
It's not a FrontPage issue.

Eleanor: Your posts get nastier and nastier everyday. You certainly don't
provide any helpful information, other than trying to be a carmudgeon. Are
you off your meds?

I've tried the proxy setting and still no log in box and still getting
same error. I have even tried it from home on the server the webpage
resides. I tired launching it from the server to take the idea of a
proxy at my work stopping the function. If i did post this in the wrong
place i apologize.

[Steve Easton]

No apologies necessary.

I was sort of "thinking out loud."

Is your web accessible from any browser anywhere??

If you posted a link to www.yourweb.com could I open it, or would I need a
specific IP address to do it.

Is your IP address for your home machine static?

Does your web have an address that's available via the domain name servers
and which the DNS converts to a numeric IP address??

I have only used explorer here at home and work but got same error. My
ip isn't static but it hasn't changed in a long time. I have a smc
router that forwards my isp ip to the ip on the server. I have a domain
set up on the server. site name www.ziegelmeyers.com

FrontPage extensions are not installed on the website, or they are
corrupted.
Install FPextensions from the Windows2003 CD (DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM
MICROSOFT), the configure the extensions for your website. From the
Windows 2003 task bar,
Use Start->Administrative Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Administrator
to install and configure the extensions on your website.

Gee Tom -- What brought that on? What is nasty about warning someone
that working on personal stuff while at work can get you fired (it
can)? OK, so the response was not useful in addressing the problem
but that happens all the time in the NG when the "regulars" get off on
a tangent.

I just looked at a bunch of recent posts by Eleanor to see what you
were talking about and after reading a dozen of them or so, had still
not run into anything nasty. Maybe not a high level of assistance in
them, but then we all mostly stick to the things we know when we are
actually trying to help --

In fact, now that I think about it, *this* post isnt addressing the
OP's issue. There I go again!
