Microsoft Frontpage Users
Customers with Microsoft Frontpage extensions installed on their sites should use only the Frontpage publishing feature to transfer files. Using regular FTP can corrupt the extensions, disabling the functionality of the Frontpage web and requiring that the site be deleted to reinstall the extensions.
Open your WS_FTP program
On the Session Properties screen, click on the General tab. Here you have several fields that you need to fill out. Profile Name: Enter the name you want to know this profile by. Your domain name is commonly used here
Host Name/Address: This is yourdomain.com, where yourdomain.com is your actual domain name.
Host Type: Make sure Automatic detect is selected.
UserID: Your assigned UserID.
Password field: Your assigned Password.
3. Click the Apply button and then the OK button
4. Next, you must configure the ASCII extensions so that your text based files will transfer correctly. Get to this window by clicking Options at the bottom of the main window and selecting the Extensions tab. Here you enter .htm, .html, .pl, .txt, .cgi or any other file extensions that need to be transferred as text.
5. Next, click on the Session (cont'd) tab and select Auto Detect under the Startup Transfer Mode.
6. Click Apply and OK.
7. To upload or download a file, highlight the file, and click the Arrow buttons in between the window that points in the direction you want it to move. In other words, to upload, click a file in the left box, and click the arrow pointing to the right, and it will appear on the right.
