Those _vti_cnf folders

[Terry Pinnell]

I'm currently learning how to use JAlbum and a couple of its skins.
Typically I use FP 2000 for some editing, but I always publish to my
Pipex DialSpace home pages by FTP, not with FP. Unless I take active
steps to avoid it, that clutters up my limited free space with many of
these special _vti_cnf folders. What is the best way to handle this
please?

Should I do a global search within this area of my HD and delete all
of them first? Presumably, when I next edit a file in FP 2000, they
will be regenerated anyway?

Or should I upload them and *then* track them down (in all the
subfolders that JAlbum creates) and delete them that way?

Or none of those?

File->Publish the site to another location on your desktop (create a
folder first), then use Windows Explorer to find and delete all the
_vti* folders. FTP what is left.
If you remove all the _vti* folders from your development website, you
may have difficulties with relative links becoming absolute links to a
folder location on your PC, when you edit the site later.

Thanks Ron. Never tried that 'publishing' to my own HD before - I'll
have a crack at it.
