Two Frontpage questions - images and backing up

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Crash_Gordon=AE?=]

You mean _vti folders right? - not files.

Still curious as to why you would want to delete files that FP creates to handle your website.

If you deleted all of those vti folders, you will be unable to update and manage your local web.


Did you not read my response concerning the vti_inf and vti_cnf files ??

Doctor, it really hurts when I do this. Then don't do that.

Tomorrow Nyphetamine will be posting that he/she can't update his/her web.

Sorry if I'm being mean-hearted...but WHY ask experts (not me) what to do and then do exactly what they tell ya NOT to do? I don't get it.

I dont *have* a local web. I wanted a backup and followed your
directions to publish onto my local machine, which took nearly 10
minutes and froze my comp, and the result was 150 scattered vti
folders.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

By publish via FP back to your local computer, you create a "Local Web".

Anyway, hope you never need to publish this "Local" copy online in a emergency.

Good luck!

Nymphetamine,

Actually you didn't follow the instructions, here's what you did:

Your post: "2) Whats the best way to SAVE an entire website to your hard drive?
I've tried *exporting* from Frontpage, File/Save from Explorer, and
File/Save as to my HD using Frontpage. But those only save specific
pages, and even then they don't save the linked images in those page"

You tried to EXPORT first, which may have caused havoc with your local files. Then you deleted _vti folders.

Your best bet now is to delete your LOCAL web and try to PUBLISH the online server back to your local web. Hopefully, they online web is still in one piece.

Frontpage will do most of the thinking for you if you let it do it's job. Don't do File/Saves from Explorer either

Listen carefully. THOSE FILES ARE THERE FOR A REASON!!!!!! Why are you
deleting them? This is surely why your FP is crashing.

God forbid you should look in your Windows\System32 directory. It's REALLY
cluttered!

oh yeah. Fill a bathtub full of water and throw in one's computer while
it's still plugged in.. That will wash it good, all right. Never have
to worry about those pesky files again.

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Crash_Gordon=AE?=]

yeah and get rid of all those stoopid .dll files while your at it, you could rename them from .dll to .duh see what happens.

Listen carefully. THOSE FILES ARE THERE FOR A REASON!!!!!! Why are you
deleting them? This is surely why your FP is crashing.

If you are saying 162 folders were created and saved to locations I
did NOT specify, when I tried to save one website with one page, I say
that solution sucks.

It was the first time I tried to Publish something to that folder, I
did try the "export" option, but that was an entirely different
folder, it was months ago, and everything had been deleted.

FP works fine when I open a web from the host, edit in FP, and then
save to the host.
