Mysterious file

[Guest]

I got a message from my web host that said I am close to being over the space
limit on my web site. I went in and cleaned out some old files, which
cleared about 4MB of space. When reviewing the site management statistics on
the host's web site I ran across a file entitled W3SVC116314004 which is
35.08 MB of space! I have no clue what this file is. It doesn't show up on
my folder list in FrontPage. I do have W3SVC1331, which is a 6 MB folder
with three zip files and a log that is right after the bigger file on the
site management report. All the folders contain an inetpub subfolder.
Should I assume that the W3SVC1163140004 file is a hidden file and not worry
about tinkering with it?

Those are your server stat/log files, and will/should never be seen by FP. You have to talk to your
host about how best to deal with this.

Huh, I see them all the time in FP.... every once in a while the host
seems to create a new one, I just delete the old one. No harm, no foul.
But you're right, I don't think people should delete one that's
current without checking.

I see them too, but I make sure NOT to Publish them down to my local machine if I'm publishing in that direction.

Yeah, I had to make them subwebs so they wouldn't do that. Otherwise on
dialup publishing down takes a l-o-n-g t-i-m-e.

I just marked it Don't Publish...seems to work, most of the time.
