I am new to web publishing so please correct any
misinformation i may be restating. My web host help desk
says that if I don't use FrontPage to upload my web to
their servers, the Frontpage server extensions will
become corrupted and I will lose some of the
functionality of my site (forms, hit counters, etc.) Is
this true? I have never been able to successfully upload
my site from FrontPage. I always get errors or notices
that some settings are incorrect. I have been using
AceFTP, which is really easy to use and gives me more
control over what I send. Is there another program that
will upload FrontPage sites without corrupting my server
extensions?

In general, yes. The reason is that it's very hard to know
all the files FrontPage created or modified on your
behalf. And this makes it very hard to upload all the
files you need. Of course, missing files = mailfunctioning
site.
