Publish FrontPage

[Sistergirl]

I built a website in FrontPage with Bellsouth.net as the server. I changed
to Comcast.net and cannot upload my website to comcast.net because it is not
"case sensitive" and keeps rejecting some files with the same name. Because
the files are generated by the FrontPage software, it will not allow me to
delete or rename the files in question. What can I do to force the program
to allow me to rename or delete the files so that they can be uploaded to the
ftp destination?

If the server is NOT case sensitive then it is a Windows server and
there will be no problems uploading.

If the server IS case sensitive it is a Unix server, and there should be
no problems uploading files, but some links may be broken.

If there is a file on the server named index.HTM and you upload
index.htm, then both files will exist on the Unix server, but index.htm
will overwrite index.HTM on the Windows server.

You may have hit a filename size problem (10 years ago some servers
limited file names to 32 characters), or the server may reject file or
folder names starting with an _underline.

Please give the error message, and an example of the filename that
causes problems.

Thank you for responding to my post.

This is the error message: Server Error: Cannot Create Folder "_vti_cnf".

The files I was trying to publish were: StartBackup.gif, and
startbackup.gif. The other file was: restore.gif, and Restore.gif.

Does this help?

If you are publishing from your PC to the server, 'Cannot Create Folder
"_vti_cnf"' is a problem on the server. Either there is insufficient
space on the server, or the permissions on the web space need to be
repaired. Either way, ask your host for assistance.

If you are publishing from the server to your PC then the permissions on
your PC need adjusting to remove the error.

It seems that you are trying to Publish directly from one Server to
the other. The first is case sensitive but the other isn't. You must
resolve this by renaming conflicting files.
For instance you may have both xxx.htm and XXX.HTM. Renaming either of
them will solve the conflict.

Hi Jens,

Yes, I am trying to publish from bellsouth.net to comcast.net. My website
is still in bellsouth.net because I have not disconnected the service yet.
However, my internet service is with comcast and I canceled the internet
service with bellsouth the day after I installed the comcast service.

I have tried to rename and delete the files in question many times but
everytime I try to rename or delete them, I get the error message: Server
Error: cannot create folder "_vti+cnf". The same happens if I try to delete
the files too.

Before I changed my internet provider, I could delete and rename files.
Now, I don't know what to do! Thanks for responding.
