trouble publishing from frontpage

Guest

I'm very new to this and using FP2003. I am trying to publish but after
adding the remote website location, nothing happens. I don't get a password
prompt. The page shows the Local Website and Remote Web site page (which I
gather is where I should see the transfer of my files) but the status shows
"looking for website: http://(my domain name)" and the hourglass shows next
to the cursor but nothing happens. At the bottom of the screen is a message
"resolving publish destination on server http://(my domain name). After
reading these posts it seems as though the password prompt should appear
immediately. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Donna

Make sure you are entering the URL in the format
http://www.yoursitenane.com/
- your online host must have the FP SE installed

Thanks Stefan. I did this but still the same response - waiting for
something to happen. No password screen. My host does have Fp SE enabled so
I'm not sure where the problem could be. ?

Try opening your online site in FP use File Open Site and entering your URL
