If you have FrontPage extensions on your site, NEVER repeat NEVER use
FTP to upload files. FTP is a 99.9% guarantee of corrupting the
extensions.
You must publish using HTTP
With the local web open in FrontPage, use File->Publish Web/Site
If the Publishing properties dialogue does not open then click the
Publishing Properties link above the remote site window, and make sure
the URL is to a http:// address.
Type in the full URL for your web site in the form
http://www.example.com/
Login, and Publish.
If there are any errors, post them, in full, to this thread.
The alternative is to forego all the advantages of FP extensions and
use FTP.
Forms, hit counters, guestbooks, custom link bars will not work unless
you use your own server-side scripting. On some servers, you may have
to use a third party FTP client since FP's FTP engine cannot handle
all FTP servers.
