Microsoft FrontPage 2003
Creating a Local Web
In order to set up FrontPage for use with the Education.Exodios service you must first build your website offline and then upload it to the Education.Exodios server. Unfortunately, FrontPage extensions are not available on the Education.Exodios server and so "FrontPage extras" such as the hit counter will not function correctly.
In Microsoft FrontPage click on File and then New.
The New task pane will appear on the right hand side of the window. Click on One page Web site.
You will then see the Web Site Templates Dialogue box. You can use whatever template you wish. Keep in mind though that special types of websites such as Discussion Web Sites and other websites that require FrontPage extensions will not function on Education.Exodios webspace. To start from scratch with nothing what so ever click on Empty Web Site.
Once you have selected your template click on the Browse button and use the Browse Dialogue box that appears to select a folder for your website to be stored locally. Then click on ok until all of the dialogue boxes are gone leaving only the Microsoft FrontPage window. You should now see a folder tree on the left hand side of the FrontPage window, this is the structure of the website stored on your computer.
Use FrontPage making sure that all files are stored within the folder you specified earlier for the local storage of your website.
Uploading to Education.Exodios
When you are ready to upload your website to your Education.Exodios web space click on the Remote Web site button.
Then click on the Remote Web Site Properties button.
You will then see the Remote Web Site Properties dialogue box.
Select FTP and then put ftp://www.exodios.com as the Remote Web site location. Then type your Education.Exodios website address without any prefixes and click ok.
You will be prompted for your credentials.
Type in your username and password into the appropriate fields and click on ok.
The main FrontPage window will now look like this.
On the left hand side you will see the folder list of the website stored on your computer and on the right you will see the contents of your Education.Exodios webspace. To publish files all you have to do is select an option under "Publish all changed pages" and then click on Publish Web Site.
A progress bar will appear in the lower left hand side of the window to tell you how things are progressing.
And that's it. To return to editing mode on FrontPage just click on the Folders button at the bottom of the window.
