Maintaining Front Page from 2 locations

Darryl Abrahms

I've been working with Front Page by having my "master" on my local C drive
and then publishing changes to my remote web server. I now have someone who
will be helping me maintain my site from a different computer. If she makes
changes to my pages on the web, and then I publish other changes we will
overwrite each other's work. How do you suggest we maintain the web from two
different locations? Thanks.
 
You need to communicate...

Option 1:

If you make changes and publish, then she need to open the live site and
publish down to her computer, make changes and then republish.

Then if you need to make changes, you would open the live site and publish
down to your computer, make changes and then republish.

Option 2:

You both work on the live site, and then publish down to your local
machines, as a backup.

I use Option 1, 99% of the time with my clients that also work on their
sites.

I'd like to use option 1 - but this is a duh question

I'm having trouble opening my live website.....In fp2000

File - open web - gives dialog box - along the top toolbar there is an icon to search the web. Is this the way to open a live FP site

If I click on the icon, it takes me to IE and I can navigate to my live site, but this does not seem to open it within FP on my machine. I suspect that this is where my proble lies, but am not sure....

If I type in the web address in the folder name box along the bottom of this dialog box, then an error appears - the folder http://www.4csindiana.org isn't accesible. The folder may be located on an unavailable volume or may be password protected

If I use the option
file - open , then I can open a single page from the remote site, but I cannot publish it to my C drive. And this does not contain all the data, just a single page

Any and all replies welcome! I don't know if I'm just not doing this right - or if my machine is hicupping the process

You can not open a Site in FP unless your host applies the FP Server Extensions to the site

And it's just that easy....

My web host has taken off the fp server extensions because we've been hacked and overwrittnen a couple of times.

They (webhost) think the reason the hacking was possible was because of having fp extensions.....

True, or not True

And, it sounds like I need to enable the FP extensions in order to remotely maintain our site....with multiple authors

Of course, the site has now disappeared....and I'll have to reload it from my office confuser on monday.....

If your site has been hacked:
1. Your host is doing a lousy job with security and chooses to blame it on
the FrontPage extensions. Find a new host.

Or

2. Your password was too easy to crack. Create a better password scheme
using random letters, numbers, characters and upper and lower case
