Masters of Science Tools and Concepts of Data Analysis: Dataweb FrontPage Publishing (Home) Overview | Publishing to the Web | Publishing a Backup | Possible Messages when Publishing Overview: Publishing Publishing is a feature unique to FrontPage. It is the FrontPage equivalent to ftp but with several differences.
To Publish a Web Have your ftp username and password handy Open FrontPage and the web you wish to publish Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the folder into which you wish to publish. In our case the folder name will always be "dataweb" so the path will resemble: "http://msetdata.rst2.edu/l/lastname_f/dataweb/". You may include or exclude the final forward slash after dataweb, but the address must end with either dataweb or dataweb/ Sometimes the address will be displayed with a code substituted for the underscore character (http://msetdata.rst2.edu/l/lastname%5ff/dataweb/). This must be corrected before copying the address (http://msetdata.rst2.edu/l/lastname_f/dataweb/).
To make this correction, erase %5f, replace it with
an underscore, hit the enter key
Click in the Address bar so the URL is highlighted | Copy this address (Ctrl + C)
Return to FrontPage | File | Publish Site ("Publish Web" in older versions) Select "Frontpage or SharePoint Services" Option Paste the address into the box (Ctrl + V) Open
You will be prompted for you username and password - Provide them | OK
A page will appear displaying the files in your current site on the left and the files already on the server on the right click "Publish Web Site"
When publishing is complete, you may use the "view published site" link to view your site.
Making a Backup of Your Web to your Local Machine Open a copy of your most current site in FrontPage | File Publish Site ("Publish Web" in older version)
Select the "File System" Option | Browse
Navigate to the Target folder | Open | OK | Publish Web Site
If the folder you wish to which you wish to publish
does not yet exist,
Name the Directory | Open | OK
If the folder is not yet a Web, the following message will appear | Click "Yes" to make it a web
Messages While Publishing During the publishing process you may receive a number of potentially confusing messages. The destination site is the site to which you are publishing while the local site is the site you have just updated. In virtually all cases you wish to make the destination site identical to the one you are publishing since it is the most recent and correct. The only exception would be if you accidentally deleted important files from your project. In this case you would try to recover them from the destination web before publishing again. Otherwise, the answers to all questions will indicate that you wish to update or overwrite the site destination site. Examples are shown below. If you have previously published the site but made changes to certain pages, the following box may appear asking if you wish to overwrite the old copy. The copy you are publishing should be the most most up-to-date copy. If so, click "Overwrite Remote Files"
This is a generic warning notifying you of the inherent dangers of posting data to the Internet. Click "Ignore and Continue."
If you have delete files from the destination site or renamed a file on either site, you may receive this warning. Choose "Yes to All" to make make the destination site identical to the one you are publishing.
