Using ws_ftp w/FP '02 w/o server extensions;

M

Mike

1) My ISP is turning off FP Server Extensions and told me I can delete the
following folders and their contents (they all seem to have .htaccess)
without damaging the webs - I do NOT use any FP functionality except
uploading (publishing). Is it ok to delete these folders?

..fp
_private
_vti_bin
_vti_cnf
_vti_log
_vti_pvt
_vti_txt

2) ws_ftp Active Edit asks for path to default editor (FP 2002) but I cannot
find the path or location of the FP .exe file --- where is it? I have
default installation of office 2002 with FP etc.

Thank you!

1) Yes you can delete them On you server (but don't have to)
- don't delete them on your PC in your FP web

2) FP 2002 EXE is Normally located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE10\FRONTPG.EXE
or
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\OFFICE10\FRONTPG.EXE

PS
You can still publish w/ FP using FTP mode (but a 3rd party FTP is better)

Thank you!

Under \My Documents\My Webs --- do I have to Convert to Web? I have FP
open and select Folders. There are a few domain.com that have index.html. I
FTP'd from remote to local and can Open now (thank you again) with FP and
creat pages etc., just like usually except the webs are not using any FPSE
nor were they Convert(ed) to Web(s). I have static sites that are .htm pages
and with .jpgs and crossed linked. Am I simply using FP to create pages and
folders that contain the htm and jpgs? That's it? I am using ws_ftp to
simply move newly created files and folders (content) from the local to the
remote? Is that it?

On web sites created and managed by FP there are folders like

..fp
_private
_vti_bin
_vti_cnf
_vti_log
_vti_pvt
_vti_txt

But when I FTP newly created domain info from remote to local, none of those
files and folders are present. Is that a problem?

The only files and folders in FP located at \My Documents\My Webs using FP
too open the index.html are

cgi-bin (I don't run any scripts)
cp (control panel ?)
images
modlogon
webalizer

I'll leave the files on the root :) but

1) can I delete them from the domain.com folder under \My Documents\My Webs ?

2) do I need to Convert to Web? If I do, am I telling the server something
about FPSE?

Thanks AGAIN!!!!

Don't name your local PC disc base web with a domain name with a .com
(as in: My Documents\My Webs\domain.com)
- the dot in the folder is not supported by FP
- rename the folder to say: My Documents\My Webs\domain

Yes
- if you FTP to your PC
- the first time you open the site in FP at say My Documents\My Webs\domain
- let FP convert it to a web

Yes
- you can delete the other web folders in you site named:
cgi-bin
cp
modlogon
webalizer
(you shouldn't FTP them in the future either way)
