Publishing Free/Busy in Outlook 2007

[Guest]

I have been publishing my free/busy infromation in outlook 2003 to my FTP
server. Now that I've upgraded to 2007, I can't figure out how to register
the FTP server credentials in order to post it. In 2003, one added an
'outlook data file', specified the FTP server, gave login credentials; after
that, the FTP URL in teh free/busy dialog knew to use those credentials. It
was clunky, but it worked.

The help file doesn't say anything about it; I can't find where to configure
an FTP credential, and the URL in the calendar options is the same as in
2003. So I'm assuming it's tucked away somewhere and I just haven't found it.

I've tried [F1] help and office online; I'm not seeing anything that helps
me. Any help from this group would be appreciated.

Use the format ftp://user[email protected]/path/filename.vfb
in the Free/Busy Options tab.

The other method as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291621
isn't worthwhile because the FTP credentials are only caches for that
session.
