RE: FLASH: URGENT: FrontPage with Generator/Flash

[Cameron Hickey]

Colleen,


ok... so given the information imparted by lee below, you can create a web

folder to access the server with FP installed.  Then you can open the FP web

you have been given access to, and drag and drop files from your windows

explorer into the 'Folder List' area of your FP application.  This will give

you FTP like access with having to let FP screw up your files...


Good luck


Cameron

Cameron,


    Front Page2000 now uses Windows Web Folders. Depending on your version

of Windows you'll find it in My Computer(Web Folders)  or in My Network

Places(Add network place). You'll have to enter the address of the site

(http://www.whatever.com) Then you'll then have a folder linking to the FP

Enabled site. Almost an easy way to deal with FTP'ing thing to sites!


Good luck,

Lee
