Unix Frontpage extensions
FrontPage extensions allow you to use the publication feature and
dynamic page elements available in Microsoft's FrontPage software.
You should only install the server extensions if you intend to use
Microsoft's FrontPage software to create and upload your web site.
If you install FrontPage extensions you will not be able to upload
your files and manage your site using FTP.
Installing FrontPage Extensions
Frontpage Extensions are pre-instaleld on certain UNIX accounts.
If you do not currently have Frontpage extensions installed you
should upgrade your account to one which has this feature.
Reinstalling FrontPage Extensions
In the event that your FrontPage extensions become corrupted and
you can no longer use FrontPage to manage your site correctly, you
should contact customer support to re-enable this feature.
Uninstalling FrontPage Extensions
If FrontPage extensions are no longer required on your account you
can uninstall them. Uninstalling the server extensions will restore
access to your site by FTP. Click the 'Uninstall FrontPage Extensions'
link on your account control panel. You will be asked to confirm
the action before FrontPage extensions are actually removed from
your account.
Using FrontPage Extensions
To publish your site using Microsoft FrontPage you must first have
FrontPage extensions installed on your account, see above. Click
the 'Publish Web' option from the 'File' menu in your FrontPage
software. Enter 'http://www.yourdomain.co.uk' when asked where you
want to publish your site to and click 'Publish'. You will be asked
for your account username and password, after which your site will
be published to the server. Note that you can only publish your
site to an active domain name using FrontPage, you cannot publish
your site using FrontPage to the FTP server, to a temporary URL
or to a domain name which is not yet fully transferred to our network.

Please note that we cannot and will not provide technical support
on the use of Microsoft FrontPage, technical support issues relating
to the use of Microsoft FrontPage should be referred to Microsoft

Notes On UNIX FrontPage Extensions
FrontPage 2000 extensions are installed on our UNIX servers, we
are aware that this is not the latest version of the server extensions,
however the 2002 extensions are not compatible with our server operating
system. Please note therefore that some of the newer features included
in the FrontPage XP client software will not work and that due to
the shared environment, the subwebs, usage analysis and user management
features are disabled. Note also that you cannot use FrontPage extensions
when you have password protected directories on your account. You
must remove password protection from all directories before installing
FrontPage extensions.
