FP 2003 - Upload Files Query

[roy]

As a total newbie to frontpage, can somebody help me here a little
please ?

Have uploaded via an FTP (because my hosts dont support file
extensions for FP 2003)what I thought to be "all that was needed" for
my site to run properly, or so i thought. I have successfully uploaded
the Index, About Us, type of pages for the site (the ones I see when I
am working on them in FP), but now I also see a lot more folders in
view that look like they hold links and info to my site pages (such
as: vti_cnf, and things such as:
_derived/index.htm_cmp_blends010_bnr.gif).

My query is.....do i need to upload ALL FILES AND FOLDERS that are
visible in the FTP window to the site window for the site to function
correctly ? If so, do they all need to go into the "web" folder to
work or do they need to be uploaded to a different folder or something
else all together ?

Sorry if this seems stupid and everybody else knows the answers
automatically, but as I said, I really am totally new to this
software.

Many thanks for your time and help.

Roy.

All files and folders need to be uploaded in the same structure as your local site
- the _vt* folders (FP configuration files) are not required on FTP sites
- the _overlay folders (Intermediate nav view text images) are not required on FTP sites
- the _borders folder (Shared borders) is not required on FTP sites, unless it has other content
- the _private folder is not required on FTP sites
All other_hidden folders are required
