How to prevent over writing files

[Mitchelled]

I have a web site I built in FP which links to content I created using PHP
and Coppermine etc. These components are in folders in the root public_html
folder. Everytime I go to publish with FP it want to know if it should
delete these files or not.

One post I read here suggested opening the web site up on the server and
converting these folders to "sub webs", but when I attempt this I get an
error stating that "server error: the access control file .htaccess was not
created by this client and cannot be edited safely using this client program"

Anyone have another suggestion? PLEASE.....

Ask your host to convert the folders to subwebs. You can also try creating the folder in your local
copy and convert them to subweb, then when publish make sure that Include Subwebs is not enabled.

FP 2003 allows you to mark a folder as do not publish.

"Selective Publish", a free FP addin from www.jimcoaddins.com, will allow
you to mark a folder as do not publish on FP 2000 thru 2003.

| Creating a local folder and then converting to a sub web doesn't work.
| Guess I'll have to contact my host to convert it to subweb.

| This is a really bad limitation of FP! It should allow you to create a
| folder and mark it as "Do not Publish".

As long as you have a web / site open in FP on your local machine, there should be no reason that
you can right click on a folder and then select convert to web / site. What steps are you taking?
