published files to ISP

[Guest]

Hi, I'm trying to keep my web site to the absolute min. in size, and it looks
like there are many duplicate files being created, especially in the image
subdirectory. Is there any way to cut down on the size (duplicated files)
without eliminating any data?

Thanks,
Dave

The files in the _vti folder are not duplicates, they are meta data files that FP creates for each
file in order to manage the content of your web site.

If you're publishing via Frontpage http: mode and letting Frontpage handle
the publication process, that duplication of files is normal (the files
commencing "vti_...." etc)- and needed because of the way FP keeps track of
its files, links and so on.

Otherwise if you're manually uploading, make sure you're only loading things
once.
