I am having trouble uploading my site - I am concerned that I have created
too many folder 'layers'.There is the first folder-this contains: another
folder with all the web pages (+ the the pages that FP creates),a 'derived'
folder, a 'vti-.' folder,a 'private' folder,photogallery folder (with all my
galleries)'.I notice that when I start a new website the first folder has a
filled in circle on it which I presume indicates a website.My folders don't
have this.Could this be the problem -be kind as this is my first attempt at
websites!Any help much appreciated.
 
The globe signifies that that folder is a Web or Subweb
 
Thanks Rob - but am I still able to upload my website,which works brilliantly
when I preview it in internet explorer,if it is not saved within a webfolder?
 
How are you "uploading" the site? What errors are you getting?
If the server has FrontPage extensions the site should be published
using File->Publish Site, then type in the server address in the form
http://www.example.com or http://example.com

If the server does not have extensions, use ftp://example.com as
specified by your host. You may have to use a third party FTP
application.

There is no limit to the depth of folders in a website, unless you
intend to save the site on a CDR, when the limit is seven folders deep
(plus those created by FP).
 
If it is not in a Web you can't publish it as you can only publish Webs.
create a new empty Web in FP and import your files to it. Then you can
Publish.

scattered pages will be able to be viewed on your local machine, but must be part of a Web to Publish and have them work on the net.
 
Hi Jens - thank you! I have about 20 pages on my site + folders with images
etc+all the folders/files that FP creates - I imagine I use the 'import'
button but do I import absolutely everything & will the links all still work?

Hi Rob - can I clarify that when you say a Web you mean in the special Web w/
globe icon folder.Thanks.
 
yes.

You must create a web first, then create your pages, albums, forms, whateever, within that web...and always open Web to work on it. Then Publish it to your server.

If you show a globed folder within a Web that would be a Subweb...and a different topic.
