Vista - MVP's were are you

I have posted this question several times with no takers.

I am trying to establish a connection to my web server in http, with add new
network connection, it will only accept an address in ftp.
Is there a reason why i cannot input an http address.

With XP in was in my network places, but the ability has been removed in
Vista.

I have manage to establish a network connect with my web server by "add
Network Location", but with Vista I can only find an ftp:// way of uploading
to my web server with add a network:

My web site requires to be uploaded with HTTP uploading protocol with FPSE,
but when I Specify the location of my website following the on screen
prompts, it will not allow me to input an http address, below are the
examples given from the wizard during the add network location process

It gives examples:
1. \\server\share (Share folder)
2. http://webserver/share ; (Web share)
3. ftp://mysite.co.uk (ftp site)

The address I would like to add is: http://breladecockerspaniels.co.uk

When I try to input http://breladecockerspaniels.co.uk ; it returns "the
folder you entered does not appear to be valid, please choose another".

Many thanks

I would imagine that folk think this is a network question, not a Vista one.
That said, I would not use that method to upload files to my web site. I use
FileZilla from www.sourceforge.net. Its an ftp program and easy to use You
choose the server type.

Why, what is wrong with this method?

I personally use this Vista method to upload files to my web site.
Piece of cake, just Copy/Paste the files to the network connection.
What could be easier?

Either WSFTP_95 for Windows or gFTP for Ubuntu is much easier than that.

Because it doesn't work with all hosting companies and FTP works with
all properly configured solutions by all companies.

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
