Remote website publishing - please help

[Guest]

Oh, my gosh - I think I just messed up big time. I was going to "publish to
a remote folder" on the hard drive, but i couldn't get a new folder to open.
So it went into an exisiting folder, with all my other stuff. Then, in the
FP program, anything that was "unmatched" I grouped together and x'd. I
didn't know it would take everything out and delete it from the hard drive!
I thought it would just take it out of the web site stuff on FP. I can't
find it in the trash can. How can I recover these files? Can I?

Unless you have a backup somewhere, the files are gone for good.

There is no intermediate stop-over when deleting files in FP...they're off
to lalaland.

If your online web has FP extensions installed just Publish from there to
your hardrive, at least you'll have that to rebuild from.

You can't retrieve the files.

Unmatched means you need to publish the files to the remote server or
location if you want those files on the web site. Otherwise ignore the
"unmatched" status, and mark "do not publish".

File > Publish Site... then select the option of the "type" of location eg
http, ftp, sharepoint or file system (like c:\my documents\my
sites\whatever) and specify the location in full like
http://www.yoursite.com or ftp://ftp.yoursite.com etc.

The location you specify to publish to is the "remote" location (doesn't
necessarily have to be an actual web server)

Thank you guys, I was afraid of this. Where is la la land? Does anyone know
why they don't just go to the trash can so they can be restored? I did try
to "restore" the computer back several hours, but no luck. They still
gone..... What a drag. The ironic part is that it was everything BUT my web
page that got deleted. And fortunatley, that is only about 20 or so records
as it was a remote computer I don't save much to. But still!!!! Drag. I
don't recall what most of them even were! That is the sad part. I have to
get more CD's and back up - been having trouble with the burning process, bad
cd's I guess...won't work at home or remote.

Because there is no way for FP to access a recycle bin on a live/remote server when users are
editing live.
