FrontPage will only publish "Webs" and not individual pages. If you create a Web and then build pages inside it you will be able to upload those pages using FrontPage. If not, you will need to create an empty Web and then copy your pages into it.

To build an empty Web, select File > New in FrontPage.

Once your pages have been saved in a FrontPage Web, you can publish them.

To Publish Your Web Site Using FrontPage

  1. Open FrontPage. From the File menu, select Publish Web.
  2. Enter the full publish destination URL, including the protocol, host, domain and tld. For example: http://www.domain.com.
  3. On the Publish Web window, click Options.
  4. Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed, or all pages.
  5. Click Publish.
  6. Enter your host user name and password and click OK.
  7. When you receive the success message, click Done.

NOTE: If you are using any of the advanced FrontPage features like a hit counter or forms, then you must upload using the HTTP (e.g. http://www.mydomain.com) address. If you upload your Web site using FTP (e.g., ftp://www.mydomain.com), then the files that support FrontPage in your hosting directory may become corrupt.
