How do I view hidden files in Frontpage 2003

I'm setting up my local website on a new computer. I logged onto the remote
website via ftp and published the local to the remote. It gets stuck on the
vti stuff and stops everything, which is annoying. I worked around that.
But I know there are other folders on the remote, which are hidden. How do I
view them?

I've revealed them before...but I can't remember how. Grrrr.... help.

Hi
Select View - Site settings - Advanced - Show hidden files and folders.

Does the remote server have the FP extensions installed, if so then you should be publish to an http
address, not a FTP address.

Also the _vti folders are NEVER published between locations/servers.

Thanks...I contacted the web server admin. He asked me to closed my
local/remote site and just opened the remote site using Open Site
http://addresss... I did and could then see the hidden folders. These
folders, by the way, start with an underscore symbol, e.g., _content, not
sure why.

After reading your comment, I went back to my local/remote site I had
created, and changed the properties to log on to a networked site
(http://address), instead of a ftp site, and I can now see them.

I told the admin I was using FTP, but he didn't see that as a problem,
although I didn't specifically ask. Hmmmm, will have to contact him again.
