USING FrontPage™ REMOTELY

About Remote Administering
Microsoft FrontPage™ allows its users to remotely manage their FrontPage™ website. Once a website is published for the first time, users can make real-time changes to their web pages instead of constantly republishing them (NOTE: this procedure requires the user to be connected for the duration of the changes). The following is a step-by-step instruction of how to use this feature.

1. Click on the "File" menu and select "Open FrontPage Web..."

2. When prompted to open an existing FrontPage Web, click on the "More Webs..." button.

3. When prompted to "Open FrontPage Web" enter your domain name in the space provided then click on the "List Webs" button. Select "<Root Web>" (or any web that is listed) and click the "OK" button.

4. Next, you will be prompted to enter the username and password required to publish to the website. Enter the proper information and click the "OK" button.

Making Changes to Your Website

Now you are ready to begin remotely administering your FrontPage™ website. Any changes that you make to your pages will be visible in real-time (immediately) once you have chosen the "Save" option within the FrontPage Editor. To view these changes, open a web browser and connect to your site. If the changes are not visible, click the "Refresh" button in your web browser to update the changes.
