FTP your website files to a folder on your PC
- Then Open FP and use File Open web and browse to that folder to open it as a FP web

Download the website to a folder on your PC
Open FrontPage
File->Open Site
Click More Web sites in the task pane on the right
Browse to the folder containing the web files
Click Open
FrontPage will add more Files and Folders
Web site open, ready for editing

To Publish, File->Publish Site
and choose the FTP option

Since you are currently using FTP, I am assuming there are no FrontPage
extensions involved on the server - FTP corrupts the extensions.
