The "Local" web site is the one that is opened in FrontPage. This is
usually the site on your PC, but could be the site on the server accessible
by the public.

The "Remote" web site is the one you would publish to. This is usually the
site on the server accessible by the public, but could be the site on your
PC.

These terms are common in FP2002 and FP2003, which provide a Remote Site
view. (In FP2002 the view is only available when publishing.)

Many web builders use a server (PWS or IIS) on their PCs, so the local site
is not always disk based.
