Hello. Im an avid user of Frontpage 2002. Before I switched hardrives, After
publishing an html page to an ftp location, I could simply open 'my network
places' and then the network location, and then right click an html file -
edit. It would open it with frontpage, to allow me editing the html file
while it was on the internet, and then just resave it to the FTP. I find this
to be almost a necesity, but now for some reason on this new hardrive, I cant
do this (there is no edit) when I right click.

Ty in advance for any help.
 
to add to what Andrew said; if you have been using FTP on your site you
probably have "broken" the extensions if you were using them before - the
extensions are what allow you to work on your site "live" and Publish via
the http: method.

Im positive that the extensions are fine, theyve worked fine since forever,
untill the new hardrive...and Ive reinstalled them multiple times, on
different webspaces to. Its pretty frusterating, but thx for the comments,
allthough they didnt help very much :P any more suggestions? Plz and thx.
 
If you cannot open your site live and you were able to previously, then your
extensions are probably not fine.

Are you getting any error messages?

What's the URL?

I get no error message. Previously, I could open 'www.foolskeul.net' in the
standard Microsoft Ftp thing in network places and use right click on an html
doc, and then edit. But now, on the foolskeul, and my new one, I only have
the option to open these documents from the ftp, not edit.

I whent on to work on www.arcani.net - - the uploading works perfectly, its
just that I cant edit directly from the ftp to change folder options to allow
anonymous uploading so I can take the password and Username restrictions off
:(

Thx again for help ^_^
 
you can't edit with ftp, you can only upload and download.

Yes you absolutely can. No doubt in my mind, seeing as how I used to do it
all the time.
This is what Im saying.

I have the network place set up fine. "ftp://www.arcani.net"

I log in.

I see the files from Network places with Windows Xp Profesional in the FTP
I could right click any html file, and then along with the open cmnds, and a
few other, I would be able to click Edit. Or if I just double clicked it, it
would open microsoft frontpage all ready to edit. Then after i was done
editing said html file, I would save, and there it would be, updated, w/o
having to upload anything new. Its very possible. I just need help firguring
out why I cant do it anymore.

This is a problem with Windows and/or Internet Explorer, not
FrontPage.
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools->Internet Options
On the Programs tag, make sure that FrontPage is set as the HTML
editor.
 
Again it is not a FrontPage Issue
- FP just happens to be your default editor once you can open a .htm from FTP in network places
It is an IE or Windows problem
-check IE Tools Internet Options Advanced - Browsing (FTP setting)
Ask in a IE or Windows support group

No. This method is editing single pages only, not a website. The
individual pages just happen to be in a website, but that is just a
happy coincidence, not design.
 
kinda what I thought...so you could create a mess editing single pages of a
FP controlled web via ftp.
