Hello,
We just started a consulting project involving the revamping of an existing
site built with FP2003. The server does *not* have server extensions
installed, so the uploading/downloading of files through FontPage is done
using the built-in FTP option.
We are having reoccurring connectivity problems using this method, that is,
when we try to create a local web site using the “Import Web Site Wizardâ€,
the process of downloading the remote site times out. We can tell that the
connection works for a while. We do get the remote site directory listing and
can see the files. However, when we try to publish the remote site to the
local workstations, the process eventually times out with a message along the
lines that the remote FTP site could not be located on port 21.
Now, just for testing purposes, we used a conventional FTP client and are
able to access and download the remote site with absolutely not issues. Thos
of course bypassed FrontPage which does not longer know which files are
actually in synch between the local and remote site.
Question: are there any settings that we might be missing that will allow
FrontPage to not timeout while it tries to download files from the remote
site?
Thank you in advance for your time.
