I am creating a site for a not-for-profit that has
arranged for some donated hosting but the host does not
support Front Page Extensions.

This is my first time using FTP and I am shooting blanks
thus far. I am attempting to use Front Page and not a
separate FTP program. Is it possible to do this or must I
obtain an FTP program?

If it is possible using Front Page, please walk me
through the steps. The info I was provided is:

Web site: www.familysafetynetwork.info
User name: FSN@tetontel
FTP: FTP.silverstar.com
and of course a password (which I won't list here).

Help provided by the host, lists Front Page 98 (and 97)
instructions as follows:

type url of server: http://www.yourdomain.com/~username

Doing so yields an error meesage basically saying that
the site doesn't exist. There are some steps listed after
that but obviously I haven't gotten that far yet.

Any help that can be provided will be very much
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
