one more thing;
GoDaddy is notorious for telling clients that FrontPage Extensions are
installed when they aren't.
OP should post the URL so we can check it.

| How to trouble-shoot Publisher web upload issues :
|
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80560.aspx
|
| If you are using forms in your web publication, then you would have to use
| HTTP uploading. Reference: How to publish a Publisher web in HTTP:
|
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80557.aspx
|
| If you choose to use FTP uploading then consider downloading and
installing
| the free FTP client FileZilla:
|
http://filezilla-project.org/ Take the time to also download the
excellent
| documentation and read it.
|
| FTP and HTTP uploading has changed with the introduction of IE7 and Vista.
| In the article you cited: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher
Web
| site:
|
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
| pay close attention to the direction for uploading using FTP and Vista.
| These directions will also apply if you are using XP and IE7, and should
be
| adapted for HTTP uploading.
|
| Also reference the uploading instructions on GoDaddy. You will find pretty
| good instructions for FTP uploading.
|
| As to the question of whether to use Publisher 2007 to produce your
website,
| that depends on the scope and goals you have for your site. If all you
want
| is a relatively simple, small static website, then Publisher will probably
| be fine. You can produce a good looking, functional, cross-browser
| compatible site with Pub 2007. A few examples of Publisher built sites:

|
| If you are planning a large, or dynamic site, then another program would
be
| a better choice. MSFT suggests Web Expression for the later, but it is a
| whole lot more expensive and it will take you a lot longer to learn. There
| are many other choices.
|
| Invest some time now thinking about and defining your goals for your
website
| before choosing the program. It will save you time and money in the long
| run. Here is a site that might help you with that process:
