how do I publish to a separate folder in frontpage

[Adaera]

I have 3 different domains in my root folder. Each file set must go to a
different fold for that domain, but everytime I try to publish to that folder
it sends everything to the root folder instead. How can I overcome this?

Each web ( domain ) needs to be in its own separate root folder.

Ok, I am working between 2 entities telling me different things. The
webhosting at 1 and 1.com, is telling me yes this is how it is done by just
making sure that it goes into these destination folders. That they have
others that do this.

Let me try to be very clear. My web hosting has my 3 domains. I have 1 user
name and password to publish with frontpage. To publish I am hitting the
publish button and typing in The url of one of those domains. When entered
just the root directory for the entire 3 domains is coming up... a basic
dumping ground. When I first realized this, I wrote them. They said to set up
destination folders, so I did. The only difference this seemed to make is
that no when you type in the url it becomes a blank page because there is
nothing in this file.

It seems like if I put the url in the publish section, that it should only
bring up the destination when the website would go in the first place. But it
pulls the main folder instead. Is there a way around this? Somewhere I could
be more specific on where these files would go? Or should I use a different
website maker? or could I use Ftp?

How would you / do you access these three different domains using a browser,
and / or publish to them.

http://websiteone.com
http://websitetwo.com
http://websitethree.com
or

http://website.com/one
http://website.com/two
http://website.com/three

or
http://one.website.com
and so on.

If you have a root folder on your machine such as
mywebs
and mywebs contains
mywebs/one
mywebs/two
mywebs/three

When you publish mywebs everything is going to get published.

I have multiple webs on my machine, and each lives in its own separate root
they are actually in IIS, so each is accessed separately by using
http:/localhost/webone
http://localhost/webtwo
and so on

Each is published to a different server / domain
by publishing to:
http://www.websiteone.com
http://www.websitetwo.com
and so on.

If your set up is:
mywebs as the root
and mywebs contains
mywebs/one
mywebs/two
mywebs/three

right click on mywebs and select convert to folder
then right click on one, two and three individually and select convert to web
Then each will have its own separate root and each will be a stand alone web site
and can then be published separately
