Publishing to diskI'm going to move my site to a new hosting company. The one I have been with
for 10 years has gone to the dogs. But of course, first I need to copy my site to my disk. It is approximately 1200 mg in size. In order to import it to the new host, shouldn't I publish it to disk, rather than downloading it through FTP? My question is (I've never done this!) can I publish individual folders at a time, rather than trying to get the whole thing at once? And if so, how? Thanks for any help or advice.

And if so, how? right-click a file or folder and select 'Publish Selected Files'. Don't recall whether this works in FP2002. Most FTP clients also let you publish selected folders. If you use FrontPage navigation components you must publish the entire
website, or the navigation structure will be lost. As Ian said, you can publish individual files - or a selection of files in a folder, to get the bulk of the files down in manageable chunks. Then publish the entire web using changed pages only - this should bring down the navigation without downloading the files. In my opinion your website, at over 1GB, is large enough to cause problems with any host unless you have your own server. The problems can be diminished if you divide the site into subwebs - a subweb behaves like an independent website as far as FrontPage is concerned, and you may be able to publish a complete subweb at a time, rather than a folder at a time. If you use FrontPage navigation, FP includes, themes or shared borders - these do not work over subwebs so must be thought about first. Do not use Import. Import in FrontPage will usually miss some files. -- Show quoteRon Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp "JA" <jarmour at kc.rr.com> wrote in message news:470d47d2$0$20595$4c368faf@roadrunner.com: > I'm going to move my site to a new hosting company.

I published 2 or 3 folders at a time. No problem with shared borders, etc., don't have them. Thanks to all!

folders they are in to subwebs if there are no pages in the folders. This does 2 things for you: 1) Makes the main web smaller, aiding publishing etc. 2) Enables you to use FTP to publish the images - if they are in subwebs containing only images then FTP will not affect any pages or the main web. FTP is much more efficient for moving images and media files than the FP extensions. DO NOT use FTP with the main web. -- Show quoteRon Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp "JA" <jarmour at kc.rr.com> wrote in message news:470f06ba$0$26331$4c368faf@roadrunner.com: > About half of the size is image files. > > I published 2 or 3 folders at a time.
