Re: Frontpage
In my experience... don't do it. Forget about it. Have your users use FTP.
After 5 days of hair-tearing actually getting Frontpage (various Server extension versions) actually working with the client (again different versions), we were defeated by users who "decided they didn't like the way frontpage did things" and so started manually changing the various "_somefile" files.
This sent our Frontpage Extensions into a flat spin. We have killed it completely and lost maybe 1 or 2 customers as a result.
Everybody is much happier.
