How to prevent the creation of _vti & .htaccess files in subdomain

[Sotiris Chaimantas]

I use FrontPage 2003 for creating and publishing my main domain site (Linux
server, Apache version 1.3.34, FrontPage Extensions 2002). I have also a
subdomain created "manually" using php code and published via ftp. Everytime
I sychronize the main domain with FrontPage, _vti & .htaccess files are
automatically created in my subdomain (which causes errors in my php code).
FrontPage extensions are installed only for the main domain and I have
removed FPE from the subdomain, but it doesn't help. How can I prevent the
creation of these _vti files in my subdomain ?

Thank you

The folder holding the content for the subdomain must be converted to a FP subweb/site and then not
open in FP.

Once you have converted the folder to a FP subweb, do not delete any of the file/folder that FP
creates in the subweb.

Thank you Thomas for your message. I have tried your suggestion bevore
posting this message, the folder containing the subweb is declared us a
subweb in FrontPage and excluded from publishing. But I don't want the _vti
files in the subweb, this is exactly my problem, I have to delete them
manually afer any sychronization of the main domain.

Thank you anyway,
Sotiris

The _vti folder will have no impact on the subweb content, if you upload the content via FTP to it.
Do not use the sync function.
