Don't understand why you are using both IIS/FP SE and Disc Based Webs
You either open and mange your local sites:
Under the IIS and the FP SE
- by starting at File Open Site and entering
http://localhost or
http://yourpcname/
- manage/create the subwebs w/i the FP site or using the FP SE admin from IIS
- See
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/sts/2001/all/proddocs/en-us/admindoc/owsd02.mspx
- IIS can only have 1 root web, and multiple subwebs or nested subwebs
(most users w/ multiple "root" webs create a subweb for each root web)
Or as Disc Based Webs (no FP SE locally)
- using File Open Site and entering C:\MyDocuments\MyWebs
If you want to "transfer" all of your disc based webs to local server based webs, open each root disc based web and publish to say
http://localhost/webname1/, then
http://localhost/webname2/
Then delete the disc based webs in FP and only use the local server based webs in the future

| I have IIS installed on my lap top and have my production hosted by someone
| else.
| My development files are under MyDocuments\MyWebs directory. It might have
| been initially created by inter dev.
| I'm using XP so all my development sites are subwebs. One of my projects
| was getting to large for FP to handle so I thought I would publish one of
| the subdirectories under my project to a sub-subweb. Initially I tried just
| to create the subweb on the server and then publish to it but FP didn't like
| the fact that I had a directory in my project where the corresponding IIS
| directory was a sub-subweb.
| I found that I have to move the source files (subDir) for the sub-SubWeb out
| of the main project and main projects source directory.
|
| Then I need to publish the main project to it's SubWeb, and the sub-subweb
| project to the sub-subweb.
| The sub-subweb can still be located as a child directory on the IIS site. I
| just can't keep the source files for the subsite in the source directory for
| the main site.
|
| It's sort of wierd because the directory structure of site on IIS does not
| correspond to the directory structure of my projects since the sub-subweb
| project has to be located outside the Subweb projects source directory.
|
| To publish to my production site I need to open the site on IIS and publish
| from it.
|
| Confused yet? I think in the future I'm going to use my local IIS as
| development instead of publising to it and then publishing to production.
| The only catch is I still need to figure out how to work my encryption into
| the scheme. I would probably need to create a second site on IIS where I
| could publish all my encrypted files and then publish to production from
| there.
|
| I've got a gig tonight so I better run. Thanks for the input everyone.
