Publishing New Files to Old Website

[Guest]

I have a site which was built and published with FrontPage 2002. Locally (on
my computer), I have just finished updating my site files (deleting files,
adding files, changing files, changing file names, and anything else you can
imagine). I have pretty much rewriiten the entire site. I really do not
need to use or save any of the files that are on my host's server at present.
What is the best way to go about publishing my updated files and deleting
the old files? Also, I noticed that on my updated files to be published,
the index page extension is .htm while the already published files has two
index files, one with an extension of .htm and the other with .html. That
sounds like trouble. What do I need to worry about regarding that
discrepancy?

Open the live/remote site in FP (must have the FP extensions) delete all content that you can see
from within FP, except for the _private and images folders, these two folders open and the delete
any content.

You simply connect as usual, to publish from local to remote, then in the
remote file list, delete all the files you don't need, then do a full
publish (local to remote) to publish the new site.

If you already deleted the old files from the local web, FP will bring up an
message such as "file exists on remote but not on local, do you want to
delete the file from remote web?" - so answer "Yes" to this question, which
will speed up the process of deleting old files.

Otherwise it's a job of deleting them manually.

As far as index.htm / .html is concerned, find out from your host which is
required as your home page, and delete the other. If .html is required
then rename your local copy to index.html. The other pages can remain as
..htm
