File import error message

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest
  • Start date Start date
According to http://www.foe.com/nebraska/_vti_inf.html
http://www.foe.com/nebraska/ does not have the FP Server Extensions installed
- so it may be just a folder in the root web http://www.foe.com/
It needs to be a FP Subweb for you to open it separately from the root web

The root web does have the FP SE according to http://www.foe.com/_vti_inf.html

But contrary to what you have been saying the site is Not on a Windows server
http://www.foe.com is running Apache on Linux
(Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.3.10 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510)

So you can have "duplicate" file names w/ different CaSes

You have to contact the site owner or server admin and have them convert the folder to a FP
subweb/site. You first have to solve the duplicate file issue before you can copy the file to your
HD.

I've gone thru ALL my "Files" & "Folders" and can NOT Find a "Duplicate" one!
Is the a way that I can do a "Search" for Duplicate Files?

Is this "/index.html" on http://www.foe.com/nebraska/index.html the "FP
Subweb" you are talking about?
I added it & it "Published" okay & into my "Remote Site" in my Computer!
(Method a:)
So I tryied it again, (with NO changes) & now I get that same Message AGAIN
NOW!
"You specified identical destination filenames for some of the files you are
trying to copy. Make sure all destination files have unique names and try
again."
Very Strange why it would work once but not again!!
What does a "FP Sync" do? Should I use it?
