FAQ - Unix Frontpage


Can I use FTP with my Frontpage website?

Yes and no (BE CAREFUL). Occasionally you may wish to FTP to your website to edit your .mreply.rc file or publish something to your cgibin and that won't effect your FrontPage website in your wwwfp directory because you'll be working in the directory above it. But don't be tempted to FTP your FrontPage designed file in to your wwwfp directory. Remember FrontPage does more than move files, it recalculates all your hyperlinks and enables all your webbots and other cool FrontPage stuff.

How do I make .exe files execute with a Frontpage web?

If you want your visitors to download .exe files from your site, there is a small amount of work involved. First, you must place the .exe files in a subdirectory of your root or sub-web. They cannot be in the root directory of a web or the frontpage web bots will not work. Second, you need to create a file named .htaccess in the subdirectory containing the .exe's . The only contents of the file will be:

AddType application/octet-stream exe EXE

This can also be done in your /docs directory if you wish to keep the files out of your frontpage directories.
