When traveling, I want to manage my website from my laptop. I tried
publishing my online site to my laptop three ways: a) opening an older copy
of my website on my laptop and trying to publish from my online site: remote
to local; b) opening my online website as local and publishing to my laptop
files as the remote; and c) opening my online website and trying to publish
to an empty website on my computer. In all three circumstances, I got the
following error message and publishing was cancelled:
"You specified identical destination filenames for some of the files you are
trying to copy. Make sure all the desitnation files have unique names and tr
y
again."
This is very bizarre. I'm not trying to copy; I'm trying to publish. Should
I delete the Front Page 2003 software from my laptop and re-load it? How can
I solve this problem so I can use my laptop on the road?  Thanks very much.
You're great.

Is your site hosted on a Unix server?
Unix is case sensitive, and Index.htm, index.HTM and index.htm will be
treated as 3 different files.  When you try to copy or publish to a
Windows machine, these filenames all refer to one file, Windows being
case insensitive.  FrontPage will prevent the files overwriting each
other by issuing that error message.
Check your online site for filenames that are duplicates except for
case, and rename one of the "duplicates".
Then try publishing again.
