From: Niagara Mouse on 13 Jan 2010 12:59 A friend wants me to update their site, I have tried to publish from remote to local and it starts to list the files but because there is a file on the website named 'mainwebsite_html' I get this error: 550 mainwebsite_html not a regular file. The publish stops with that error message and I just have a few empty folders on the local side. I have no idea what that file is as I did not create this website but it is preventing the publish from remote to local. I tried copying everything but then (as expected) none of the links work. Anyone have any idea what that file is all about? There is a folder named websitemain_html.bk on the site and if I open that in the remote area it is full of folders and webpages. The website is www.stablehousestudio.ca please help. Thanks, Sherron
From: Ronx on 13 Jan 2010 17:47 mainwebsite_html appears to be a folder containing a previous version of the website. Since FrontPage extensions do not seem to be installed on the site (http://www.stablehousestudio.ca/_vti_inf.html returns 404 error), I suggest you use an FTP client to download the site to a folder on your PC, then open that folder in FrontPage. The site was last built using Dreamweaver Dynamic Web Templates, so you will have to convert these (and attached pages) to FrontPage DWT format if you wish to continue using them. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

From: Niagara Mouse on 14 Jan 2010 09:11 Thank you Ron Symonds, so nice to have expert advice. I just purchased MS Web Expression 3, although I am just learning the software and there is a learning curve would it be better to open it with that, would it make the conversion easier?

From: Ronx on 14 Jan 2010 10:30 In my opinion, Expression Web a better editor than FrontPage, but it will make no difference to the conversion - Expression Web uses the same DWT format as FrontPage. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.
