Expression® Web Design

Publishing From Remote Server to Local Computer

Friday, August 24, 2007
Expression Web can copy files from the web server, just like Frontpage did.  Expression Web can copy these files using FTP or Frontpage Server Extensions, just like Frontpage did.  This is extremely helpful if your computer crashes and you need to retrieve the data from the server.

Assuming you have created the website already on your computer, you can easily set up the connection information in the Remote Web Site Properties.  This is where you can use FPSE or FTP, depending on your hosting company.  If you have used Frontpage guestbook, hit counter or any other FPSE components like:
  • Confirmation Field
  • Discussion Form Handler
  • FrontPage created server-side Image Maps
  • Registration Form Handler
  • Save Results Form Handler
  • Scheduled Image
  • Scheduled Include Page Component
  • Search Form
  • WebBot Registration component
  • WebBot Discussion component
  • WebBot Save Results component
  • WebBot Search component
  • WebBot Scheduled Include component
  • FrontPage created server-side Image Maps
  • WebBot Confirmation Field component
  • WebBot Scheduled Image
  • Nested subwebs
  • Lightweight Source Control (document check-in/check-out without Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows)
  • Categories component
  • StyleSheet links to multiple files or Active Server Pages (ASP) files
For more information review: You can choose what files to publish or synchronize the files (this will help if you have multiple users updating files) to publish from the remote server to the local computer.  Synchronizing is supposed to review the data files that Frontpage and Expression Web creates to know what files should be updated.  It is a good idea to always have a backup copy as well, just in case.
