FrontPage 2000 won't connect to remote

[Guest]

Hi --

My Win-ME desktop died, and I got a new Vista Home Premium based Laptop to
replace it. After installing FrontPage2000 {an upgrade from FP98} it will
not connect to my remote site {with extensions} so that I can publish it to
my local drive. I have tried the 'help repair' option and it runs
successfully and reports that everything is OK. Otherwise it 'seems' to be
working.

Any attempt to connect to the remote gives a message:
The folder "http://Web site" isn't accessible. The folder may be located on
an unavailable volume or protected with a password.

I never get the dialog to enter my UserID/Password, like I normally would

This is addressed in Q264749 ...see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264749/en-us ...but does NOT offer a
solution specific to Vista.

I tried to 'right-click' and set FP program to run as admin, but that option
is grayed out. I have also googled for similar problems and have found some
without resolution. After searching this forum, I have found a few that may
be related, such as:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/co...=f3f05947-3b05-4d44-addf-5b61cb344f98&m=1&p=1
...but don't seem to provide a resolution.

BTW, I have a Win2000 Pro system at work with FrontPage 2000 and it opens my
remote just fine, as did my previous system with Win-ME.

Got any ideas on how to resolve this?

TIA for your help,

Looks like you just might have to continue using your desktop with Win2K on
it. From what I've seen, FP2000 just might not be compatable with vista.

How about a later version of FP or even a newer solution if you want to use
Vista?

Better if you go to the Ubuntu group

you could edit copies of webpages locally on ur machine and use a ftp
program to manually upload them to the server ?

FP is OK on Vista, I use it but FP extensions may not be. Best to download
FileZilla from www.sourceforge.net and use FTP instead.
