Re-publishing after crash, FP2000 Continually Publishes All Files

[Saturndan]

As noted in my earlier (solved) post, my system crashed. Using ftp, I
downloaded my entire site onto a new hard drive with a re-install of FP2000.
Now, when I go to upload the site, FP always wants to upload every single
file. This behavior happens even if the log on the server shows that the
remote copy is older (unchanged) I hope I'm explaining that right.

This happened to me before and someone gave me a simple thing to do. I've
searched the forums but I can't find it; it was a long time ago.

Thank you

you need to set it to publish changed files only.
I don't FP 2000 so I can't tell you exactly where the setting is.

There's a bit more to it than that. Anytime you start publishing from a new
PC, or upgrade your version of FrontPage, after you publish your live site
to your new PC, you should do a full publish (Publish All) from the new PC
back to your remote site. This gets the two versions of your site in sync.
After you've done the full publish you can then switch to "Publish Changed
Pages Only."

I do tick that box; on FP2000, once you click publish, you get the dialogue
box with your web address and a choice to publish all or just changed. I
select the "changed" but it still publishes everything each time. At first,
I thought it was because the newly downloaded files have a later log date.
But, even if I upload a copy of a file so that the server log date is later
than the remote log date, it still wants to upload it.

I'm trying to remember what I was told last time, I think it had something
to do with permissions or authoring or something. Thanks for the suggestion.
