publishing with FrontPage / Expression Web

And finally, you’ve built a really nice web site, signed up with a FrontPage or SharePoint enabled web host and you’re ready to do live.

Since you’ve been building your website with FrontPage or Expression Web Designer, we’re only going to cover publishing your website using these tools. There are several methods for publishing your website, but NONE of them provide the ease of use found with FrontPage or Expression Web Designer.

One of the advantages of publishing your website to a FrontPage or SharePoint enabled server is that your form pages will automatically be set up, and you can log into your LIVE site, and make changes to your LIVE web site directly on the server. This is great for quick updates.

To publish your website with FrontPage or Expression Web Designer to a FrontPage or SharePoint enabled web server.

open your website in FrontPage / Expression
click on the File menu…
click on Publish Site…

in the Remote Web Site Properties window, select the:

FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Services radio button
Enter your complete URL into the Remote Web site location dialog box, example:

http://www.lukcymarble.com
Click OK
Enter your User name: and Password: provided by your web hosting company

Most usernames and passwords are CaSe SenSitive, enter this information EXACTLY as it is provided to you by your hosting company

Click OK
Click on the ‘Publish Web site’ button (lower right corner) to start the publication process

You will see a split screen the left side displaying your LOCAL website (pages, files and folders)

The REMOTE website will show the contents in the RIGHT side window pain. If you have not yet published your site, you would only see the following

folders:
_private
images

These folders are created by default by FrontPage or Expression, and any information you have in your local website will simply over write these ‘default’ folders.
