Change remote website from ftp to http

[Sandy]

How can I change the remote website properties when publishing from
previously used ftp to now needing to use http? This website just wont
change to http but always remembers the ftp settings! This is frustrating.

I publish many many websites and never have ran into this issue since I
always just use http:// on the other sites and never have had to change to
another setting. PLEASE HELP!

FTP vs. HTTP is a function of how the host set up the server. You may not
be able to change this.

Contact your host and ask them to install the FrontPage server extensions
(which is what would be needed to do the switch).

If you already know it is a FrontPage web, try clearing out all cache files,
deleting all .web files (FrontPage stores data there, including the location
and perhaps the web type) and opening the web live first. (File, Open Web,
Enter your web name, OK.)

I do know that the server is set up for FP Ext and my boss can publish this
same site from his PC.

Can you be more specific on where I will find these cache files? I believe
you are right and would like to try this.

BTW-I design lots of websites...will deleting these files cause any issues
with my other clients sites?

THANKS SO MUCH for helping!!

Sandy: You are receiving the same information you did when you posted in
your other thread. Steve Easton had you use his FP Cleaner tool to clean
the cache and web files.

Starting a new thread really isn't going to help, as people will either
ignore you, or you'll receive the same information.

Hi Tom,
I am new to using this but thought I was perhaps wrong in describing my
issue to begin with. Thanks for telling me since I am learning how this
discussion group works. The FP Cleaner didnt work though.

Reading from others issues, I found a GREAT and HELPFUL suggestion from STEVE
who mentioned deleting same history files in the regedit HKEYS. This solved
the first issue. YEAH! But I still was not getting past the username/pw for
publishing.

FOUND THE ISSUE!!! This should help so many although I don't have this
completely fixed yet. For all of you who are experiencing this same issue (I
have read of many!!) - try turning off your NORTON INTERNET SECURITY.
Immediately everything works! I can publish, error message goes away.

The only thing is I do have the Norton Security "Permitting" FrontPage but I
still can't publish unless I turn it off. ANY SUGGESTIONS HERE?

BTW-Thanks to each one of you who spend the time to help us with issues! It
is greatly appreciated!
