Many thanks for all the replies.
I take on board the ease in which to upload with network connections,
(currently am doing it this way), BUT as i mentioned it will only allow an
ftp address to connect, which is fine for uploading in that format, (web site
uploads ok), but i have a response form included in my site, and therefore
the site HAS TO BE in HTTP for the included form to work.
Peter, i have turned of my firewall, and free version of AVG, still no joy.
Instructions from Microsoft:
If your domain hosting account has FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE)
installed you can upload your web site files in the HTTP Protocol. When FPSE
is loaded on your account it is recommended that you use HTTP uploads
exclusively because using FTP at any time may corrupt the FPSE files.
You must understand that the server processing functionality provided by
FPSE requires HTTP publishing to deliver that functionality.
For example if you have a web page form in your Publisher web publication
that form will only be functional on the server if it's published in HTTP.
Publisher uses FPSE to deliver the processing functionality to Publisher web
forms. So if you designed a web form in your web publication you then need to
have FPSE installed (that's a host support function) and you have to publish
the web publication in the HTTP protocol.
I have the http address & login details from my server, i just can't connect
in http as network connections will not allow me to input the address, is
ther another way with vista similar to my network connections in XP.
I am enjoying the Vista experience, but am struggling with the
subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any further advice GREATFULY recieved
