Unknown file names when publishing site

R

Riverwalk Tom

When I make changes and go to publish our website
(www.sanantonioriverwalk.com), I am getting messages asking me that some
files are on the destination server but not in the current website. I have
never seen these files before. Some examples are:

hotels-holidayinn_files/filelist.xml
hotels-holidayinn_files/image001.gif
hotels_files/Thumbs.db

There are several others as well. I do not know what these files are and
cannot see them on our local drive or the host server. Can anyone tell me
what these are and why this message keeps popping up? It has been happening
for about a month now and I cannot figure out what to do about it.

Thanks in advance for your assistance. This is a great message board. I am
glad I found it.

It looks like someone converted an Excel spreadsheet to a web page, and
FrontPage created the required files & folders to properly display the page.
Nothing to worry about (unless you're running out of server disk space, and
then you could delete them). Go Spurs!

You should delete the thumbs.db file, that's caused by browsing folders with
Explorer or other image viewer...delete and don't don't publish them to the
web server.
