folder for ftp newsletters in website?

S

Susan

I volunteer and maintain church website. Lady wants to ftp newsletters
(which are to large to email due to the pictures) to folder so that I can
put them on website.

How do I do this? Just create a folder and then give her id and password
along with the folder? Does it matter if the website is set up with FP
extensions or not? If it is ftp'd just to folder does the server extensions
matter?

Thanks for information,
Susan

What kind of server is the site hosted on??

There might be a fairly easy method.

However, since it's highly likely that the newletter will be "web ready"
it'd probably be way easier to just have the church lady email it to you
(the op not you steve you're probably already busy :)

What is that website that you can enter the domain name and it will tell you
the server, etc.? I have forgotten. I am in the process of changing the
hosting to server with FP extensions. It does not have FP extensions now.

Ever feel like you're diagonally parked in a parallel universe?...I feel

If you have FTP access to the site from your host and they support FP subwebs
In FP create subweb for her FTP and do not open it in FP again
- that way her FTP files will not affect the FP SE if you have them

IMHO
Don't even use the FP web location (rootweb or subwebs) for FTP
- most hosts also support separate FTP access (anonymous or by permissions) to special FTP folder at the IP that you can set unique
access to
- check w/ your host on FTP access

The domain is southbaldwinchristianchurch.org. I am in the process of
changing the registration and the hosting to company Chris Leeds (MS-MVP)
recommended. Hosting will have FP extensions. I am thoroughly confused
now. I gave password and userid to church worker who does have knowledge of
ftp. But currently website hosting does not have FP extensions. I use FP
2003 and I have only been able to ftp to the website but never ftp from
website down to PC. I am thinking that even if she got the folder out there,
I could not retrieve it. I would need separate ftp program to access the
folder right?

You can retrieve the folder without using FrontPage.
Open the ftp version of the site in Internet Explorer by using
ftp.southbaldwinchristianchurch.org

When it opens, click File > "Login As" and enter your user name and password.
Browse to the folder with the uploaded file, and either copy and paste or drag and drop it
to your desktop. ( or other location on your computer )

I cannot do that. I get a message about no anonymous access allowed and no
chance to login.

Lady told me she uploaded a folder, but when I open FP2003 to "publish=>ftp"
and look at the remote site, I see no folders that she uploaded when I sort
by modified. If she ftp'd folder to website, wouldn't FP show it in the
remote or is it not available to see because it was uploaded without using
the FP software?

It depends if the FTP folder is within the web space that is access via FP.

Contact your host to find out how to access FTP on you site
(or see if they have a file manager for it)
- of course you could also ask her where she uploaded it
