Adapting an Existing Web Site to Use FrontPage

If you've been building your Web site using FTP, and have now decided you'd like to start using FrontPage, follow the procedure below to set up your directories:

To import an existing Web into FrontPage

  1. Using FTP, copy your site's /www directory to your local PC or Mac.

  2. Open FrontPage Explorer, and select Create a New FrontPage Web from the Getting Started window.

  3. Select Import an Existing Web in step 1 of the New FrontPage Web window, and name it in step 2.

  4. Choose From a source directory... from the Import Web Wizard window, and click Browse to locate the www directory you copied to your PC in step 1 of this procedure.

  5. Delete all the Web site files from the www directory of your Web Hosting site. Remember, you have a copy on your PC, so they aren't being deleted forever.

  6. Use the Publish feature of the FrontPage Explorer to publish the files on your PC to www.yourecompany.com
