How do I allow a client to a single page manage content?

[Edwin Hannan]

Hi All



Using FP2000 and now having a problem with my ISP since they upgraded to win
2003 servers, How do you allow one of your clients to update a page in their
own site? (below is how I've been doing it - with no problems at all - until
now



Any Suggestions?



Thanks

******************* My Request ***************************************

Good Evening



I have a request for www.metrofinance.co.uk



I want ftp (write access) access to the 'content' folder, this contains one
file called usercontent.htm and is used in a inline frame on another page in
the main site (bestbuys.htm). I have set up a small script on the users PC,
he amends a htm document, saves it, then presses a button and the
usercontent.htm doc is sent to the content folder - my user has just updated
their own website - when they want to.



This was working prior to the recent windows 2003 upgrade - Please will
someone have a look into this for me.



I know this is a FrontPage Site because I publish to it, and I also know
that mixing ftp and FP exentions dont mix..BUT I am not publishing using
ftp..I am just overwriting one file in a folder containing one file that
is not involved in the FP publishing process.



Please advise soonest.

Dear Edwin,

Unfortunately due to the stricter rules on Windows 2003, you cannot FTP at
all to domains that have Frontpage installed on them. Please reomve
Frontpage if this is necessary.

Yours sincerely,

Have you tried converting "content" to a subweb. You can ftp to a subweb
without breaking the main webs extensions.

The is not a Windows 2003 issue, this is choice that the host has made in how they chose to
configured the server.

I was just working with a UK user where the host has upgraded to Windows 2003 and now no longer
support running of ASP scripts in subwebs, everything must be in the root of the web. Again this is
host configuration issue, not Windows 2003 server.
