Re: FP 2003 FTP Publish Server Error: The URL

If the host does not support FP extensions, you cannot publish from
the host to your PC, _vti_pvt (among others) folder is required and
will not exist on the host, or at least not in a usable form.
The best you can do (possibly) is select individual files and drag
them to your PC (from Remote to Local) - I have never tried this with
a FTP host, I find third party FTP applications (like Smart FTP)
better than FrontPage.
