When using FTP to transfer FrontPage Web files to the server, which files should not be transferred?
FrontPage s Publish command utilizes HTTP to communicate with the web server. The command will not transfer the local FrontPage Server Extension files to the target server. When using an FTP application, it is important to transfer only the content files from the originating web server. Do not FTP any _vti _* directories. If these directories or files are transferred, they will overwrite the existing files on the target server. FrontPage Server Extensions should only be installed using the FrontPage Server Administrator utility on the host server or remotely using the HTML Administration Forms. If your web site does not have Front Page server extensions but you are still using Front Page to create your web site, simply FTP only the content of your web site and not _vti_* directories.
