Frontpage2003 - Importing Existing Website

G

Guest

I used ftp to import my existing (dreamweaver) website and found no working
links and no access to the flash opening page. I am at a loss.

Download the site with a 3rd Party FTP application to a folder on your HD, then open this folder in
FP. Let FP convert the folder to a web.

Thomas,

What happens to the links then, the ones created by DW...will FP convert them after Kim converts the downloaded web to an FP web?

The links should remain active links, but that depends on how the links where created in DW to begin
with, if the links are relative, then FP should have any problems.

Thanks. My wifi connection is gagging up a hairball or something, so I have
not been able to complete an Ipswitch ftp transfer yet. To clarify, I open,
rather than import when I get the stuff ftp'd to my hard drive?

And sneaky bonus question: Am I going to be able to edit the flash page?
