Thanks Rob. I have FP2003. When I go to 'Open Site' and enter the
site
name, I am not prompted for a username and password. It says that it
is not
accessible and provides the options to add a forward/backward slash to
the
end of the web url. This does not work though.
:
You didn't say which version of FP you're using. So here goes;
IF the online website has FrontPage Server Extensions installed and
working
properly;
Open FP
File | Open Web (or Open Site)
Enter your website URL
http://www.yourwebname.com
You'll be prompted for un/pw
Once it opens you have the online "live" site opened locally.
Now;
File | Publish Web (or Site)
and enter a path to where on your local machine you want to publish
to...like:
C:\My Documents\My Webs\anynamehere (you can name your local web
anything
you want...Fred, Ethel, Lucy...whatever, but do not include an
extension)
Now let FP Publish it to your hardrive
Once done, close your http:// site and open your local website on
C:\
You will be working on the C:\ drive copy and when happy with your
changes
you'll Publish back up to the server...reverse of what I described
above.
