Web Folders

You can upload image files to your web site through Web Folders. Web Folders make it easy to transfer files to FTP sites or Frontpage webs using Windows Explorer which can treat these remote locations like local drives. First double click the “Add Web Folder” icon.  (see below).

Next you enter the location of the FTP site or Frontpage web as a typical web site address:

Next you supply your username and password because Web Folders does not give just anyone access to a protected FTP site or  Frontpage web.

Finally, you enter a name for this web folder. You can accept the default which is identical to the location or enter something easier to remember.

Once you have set up a Web Folder it is easy to drag and drop files into your Frontpage web’s images folder.
