Using FrontPage to upload your site.

This tutorial assumes that you have already created your web page/site and are ready to publish it to the server. Before you publish, however, take this time to save the web page/site files to your computer's hard drive. This way, you can be sure that you always have a copy in case anything should happen and a backup is unavailable.

Step 1:

Move your mouse to the upper left-hand side of the FrontPage window and click on File. This will open a drop-down menu from which you will click on Publish Web.

We will assume, for this tutorial, that you are able to click on the Publish Web option.

Step 2:

You will now need to enter the URL for your web site. As an example, you would enter: http://yourdomain.com

Now click on the Publish button.

Step 3:
