I just published a webpage to my ftp server that I designed on
FrontPage. Now I need to go make some small changes on a few pages. In
FrontPage, I went to file, then open, and selected ftp servers. I
entered my password for the ftp server, then selected the page I wanted
to open. FrontPage gave me an error message saying it "doesn't support
opening pages on an FTP server." I'm confused that it let me get all
the way through the menu before giving me an error message, so I wonder
if there's some setting I could change so FrontPage will let me open
the page and edit it. Also, my boss tells me he edited our webpage
before using FrontPage but can't remember how he did it. I'm new to
this whole thing and am learning as I go. Advice appreciated, thanks.

You can only edit your live/remote web site in FP if the server has the FP extensions (or WSS)
installed and you access it via http://www.yourdomainname.com
