I had this problem when I publish:
it transfers files but fails after the stage
"processing web updates for"
When I click details, it shows error 403 forbidden
You don't have permission to access
/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.exe on this server.
It happens whether I publish all or only changed files.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Frontpage extensions.
Also tried with and without the "cleanup old extensions".
Also tried waiting a while between uninstall and reinstall.
I have never used ftp to this website. Nor have I meddled
with the .htaccess or other config files.
I tried the FPCLEANER program, that achieved nothing.
I ran virus/spyware scanners, hardware diagnostics,
even one of them "regcleaner" thingamies. Besides
that I removed Office 2000, and reinstalled it.
Nothing helped.
All was fine for several months. This started happening
a few weeks ago....
I called the webhost support people. They were helpful.
They reinstalled the Frontpage extensions from their end,
but no change. I gave them all the files from my web,
and they were able to publish okay; could not reproduce
my error.
I trawled though Microsoft knowledge base, and could not
see this particular problem expalined.
So I searches many web-nerd forums, and one person said he
added a slash after the domain name, that fixed it.
But not for me. Another said he had a corrupt jpeg file
that caused it. This was at first promising.
I noted the last jpeg transferred before the error,
and deleted it, then recreated it and imported back into
the web. Then publish worked! However, the "corrupt"
picture could be viewed in 8 different programs.
Unfortunately, the problem returned. So I removed the last
jpeg transferred before the error. Still the error 403.
So I delete the second last, and then the third last,
but now the publish still fails.
I found one discussion which suggested too many files
in one directory can choke Frontpage, but didn't say
what that limit is. At the moment, there are 14 html
files, 239 files in images directory, and 266 files
in another directory. There is one theme used, with
several dozen files in that.
I have ye olde Frontpage 2000.
The web server is Linux.
