Hi. I have Frontpage 2002. Because of changes with my ISP no longer
accepting insecure ftp connections. This means that FTP programs like
Dreamweaver 2003 and earlier, Go Live,Frontpage, Netscape Composer,
Fetch, WSFTP, Host Explorer FTP, and command line FTP programs CANNOT be
used. I have SSH Secure Shell Client and Secure FTP so I'm okay if I
want to connect to my file space directly to upload/download files, but
I CANNOT now directly connect to the file space online using Frontpage.
So, as I see it, I can "publish" files to my local drive and then upload
these using SSH SFTP in order to meet my ISP's requirement of having a
secure connection (basically that I'm not sending my username/password
in plain text which Frontpage now does). BUT, this does not help with
the real chore of maintaining a website which is SYNCHRONIZING the local
drive with the remote site so that I don't have to upload everything
everytime. So it's really an issue not of having an *extra step* but of
not having the easy ability to synchronize the two locations so as
only to upload those files that are new/changed.
QUESTION: In order to *continue* using Frontpage, can I set up
Frontpage to use SSH Tunneling? I have SSH Client and have set up the
software with a Tunnel. That's no problem. But HOW do I set up
Frontpage 2002 to publish "through" the tunnel? That's not clear. I do
understand that I need to set a host of 127.0.01 (localhost) but how do
I then set up the Host Directory (my remote site location)?
I have maintained many websites, but not having to worry about this kind
of detail. Usually it was only about the remote address and that was
it. Frontpage doesn't seem to have the detailed options I need. Any
ideas? I did find, for example, details for Dreamweaver at
http://w3.arizona.edu/~consult/dwmx.html but nothing anywhere for
Frontpage 2002 (saw something for 2003 but that seems to have a
different set of options).
Is there a plug-in for Frontpage that will do SFTP? That would work.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
