A Note for FrontPage Users

MMIS/MCIS 656 – WEB DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES

Note on FPDr. N

FP set up for Nova server

Frontpage: suggestions A) If using NOVA server or another server

which doesn’t have FP extensions installed, set appropriate settings (Next Slide for screen shot)

WHY?– Prevents using features in FP that may not work

when moved to the server.

Front Page – Tools|Page Options|Compatibility tab

Uploading to Nova server

Two Options: A) Simple way: Use an FTP program

and upload files & directories. B) Use the “Publishing” features built

into Front Page – somewhat tricky, see next slides.

“Publishing” in Frontpage

Publish feature Moves the complete directory under a

“web”– Simplifies the file upload process.

Use the FTP option – not HTTP (not supported on our server)

– Instructions: File|Publish– To publish in a directory called dir_name, under

public_html, use: ftp://scis.nova.edu/~username/public_html/dir_Name

Publishing with FrontPage

In Future…

When we start with server-side (Cold Fusion), we will use another server – call it CFserver (Cold Fusion Server)

The CFserver will have FP extensions installed – no problem.
