Publishing to a MS FrontPage Server
Version 3.0

Summary


This document covers publishing a web site to a FrontPage server using Microsoft FrontPage 98. FrontPage 97 and 2000 may differ in appearance, but the information needed to publish is the same.

Create your web with FrontPage 2000, FrontPage 98, or Office 2000.  

For questions about using FrontPage on your own computer, contact Microsoft.

Publishing a New Web Site


1. These instructions assume you have already designed a web site, and are now ready to publish it to the NT server. The examples here use the web site "www.qmss.org"; you will of course substitute your own information.
Open FrontPage 98, and click on File | Open Front Page Web.

3. Ensure the Home page is named "Default.htm", "Default.html", "index.html"", or "index.htm"; the server looks for these files in this order and opens the first one it finds. You should RENAME & save the index, titled: "Coming Soon", page free-registration.com sets up to "ComingSoon.html" when your site is created.

Click on the Publish button, or click on File | Publish.
