Unable to connect to remote web site

[confused_bob]

Hi

Despite assurance from my web host that their Frontpage extensions services
are working correctly, I cannot seem to connect/publish to a remote server
using the 'Frontpage or sharepoint services' option within the Remote
webserver setup. Providing the correct remote website location simply returns
the error message:"The webserver at <domain> does not appear to have Windows
Sharepoint services installed'. I have been able to publish to an ftp site/
local file system with no problems. Any advice would be appreciated!

Many thanks

Verify the hosted site has the FP SE
1) File Open Site and enter the URL as http://www.yoursitename.com
2) or browse to the online site in FP and use File Edit w/ FP

You say you can upload to your site via FTP. If you can still upload via ftp
then there is something very wrong with fp extensions as normally you can
only upload with one or the other. extensions (http / shareppoint ) would
have to be disabled to allow you to publish ftp. thought it may help

Hi guys

Thanks for your replies.

It turned out to be problem at the ISP end; they "refreshed my web space
etc" and it now seems to connect and synchronise with no problem.
