That's not true either...is it? That would be rather messy if it were true.

| They are wrong
|
| A FP Server Extension extended site (especially a root web) should never be FTP'd to (by any FTP client or tool)
| The SE manage the site and FTP bypasses the updating of the meta files needed for the SE to function and control the site - thus
| corrupts the site
| - certain non managed files (like media files) are OK to FTP to a subweb (as long as the subweb is not reopened in FP in case it
is
| corrupted)

| | As most know, you should not use FTP and FrontPage Extensions at the same
| | time.  The reason is... When you FTP, you could (and most likely) corrupt
| | the extensions.  At that point, the extensions have to be removed and
| | reinstalled.  Also, it corrupts all FrontPage Extensions on the entire
| | server causing the host company to fix the problem.
| |
| | Today, talking to my hosting company, I was told that you can FTP... you
| | just can't use the FTP that is part of FrontPage.  This means you can use
| | WS_FTP... a popular program that I'm sure many of you use for FTP'ing files
| | to the server.
| |
| | My question, to anyone out their, ... is this the way you understand the
| | issue?
| | Has anybody discussed the details with their hosting company to determine
| | that it is only FrontPage's FTP that can't be used or any 3rd Party FTP
| | Program.
| |
| | I realize that I may have talked to someone, at my hosting company, that MAY
| | be wrong.
| | Just wondering if anyone else knows for sure?
| |
| | Purpose:  My hosting company seems to have issues with subwebs.  They said I
| | can use subwebs if I FTP stuff to it instead of using FrontPage.  That got
| | the discussion going.
| |
| | Thanks (sorry so long)!
