Publishing with FrontPage (tm)
to Minnesota MicroNet's Web Server
Don't forget: We support FrontPage Server Extensions.
If
you'd like to use FrontPage Server Extensions, let us know
before
you upload your Web files.
If you choose not to use
FrontPage Server Extensions, that's perfectly fine, too. You can
still use FrontPage. Simply follow the
instructions below.

NOTE: These instructions apply
to Websites hosted on Minnesota
MicroNet's Web server.

FrontPage 2000/2002
Create your Web pages with FrontPage. When you're ready to move the
pages from your computer to your Web space here (publish), click on the
Publish button or pull down the File menu and select Publish Web.
If SERVER EXTENSIONS ARE ENABLED:
- Select More Webs.
- Under the box, Specify the location to publish your web to, enter
www.yourdomain.com with yourdomain.com being the domain
name of your Website. Click Publish.
- Enter your FrontPage username and password. (Note: The password is
a FrontPage password, which you need to ask us for.) Click Login.
IF SERVER EXTENSIONS ARE NOT ENABLED:
Under the box, Specify the location to publish your web to, enter
ftp://ftp.mm.com/public_html and click Publish. It will ask for your
username and password. (Note: This is your Website username and
password.) Enter them and click OK.
While publishing, a screen saying the pages won't work may display.
Ignore this and click Continue. When the pages are transferred, you will
see:
If you click on Click here to view your published Web site, FrontPage
automatically puts in ftp://ftp.mm.com/public_html and gives you an error
message. That's because you're viewing your pages with your Web browser
and need a Web address that starts with http://. Enter the address of
your Web site's home page. For example:
http://www.yourdomain.org or
http://www.mm.com/user/myusername
FrontPage 98
Create your Web pages with FrontPage. When you're ready to move the pages
from your computer to your Web space here (publish), click on the
Publish button:
In the box under "Publish FrontPage Web to:" delete what's in the box and
replace it with ftp.mm.com
NOTE: You may have to click the More Webs... button, delete what's
in that box, replace it with ftp.mm.com and click the OK
button.
The Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard should appear:
For the FTP Server Name, enter ftp.mm.com
For the Directory Path, enter public_html
Click the Next button.
In the Username field, enter your 3-8 character
username.
In the Password field, enter your 6-8 character password.
Click the Finish button.
FrontPagetm will then transfer all of your files from your Web
on your computer into your Website on our Web server.
Please note: If you originally created and uploaded your Website
without Front Page Server Extensions turned on, then decide to have
Front Page Server Extensions turned on, that's perfectly fine. However,
please remember to follow the instructions for uploading with
Front Page Server Extensions turned ON. When extensions are turned
on, do not use ftp://ftp.mm.com/public_html for the location
to publish to as you had previously done. Use www.yourdomain.com
instead.
Another note: If you prefer to create Web pages with Front
Pagetm, but transfer the files into your Web space with other
FTP software such as WSFTP, CuteFTP, Fetch (if you're on a
Mac), or some other FTP software, that's fine. Simply find the files
on your computer and use
the other FTP software to transfer
them. The FTP Host/Server Name is still ftp.mm.com Don't anonymously
FTP; use your username and password. The files go into the
public_html directory. Your home page should be named either index.html
or index.htm
