SUMMARY
This article describes how to open a web using HTTP and the differences between opening a web on a remote server versus a local server.

FrontPage does not open a web via HTTP by default. You must specify the HTTP protocol in the Open Web or New Web dialog box. This can also be referred to as a server-based web.

Open a Web Using the HTTP Protocol

 * 1) On the File menu, click Open Web.
 * 2) In the Open Web dialog box, type the URL for the web you want to open in the Folder name text box.

For example, type:   http:// /
 * 1) Click Open.
 * 2) If you are accessing a web located on a remote server, you will be prompted for a user name and password. Type the user name and password and then click OK.

Editing a Web on a Server That Is Located Locally

 * You are not required to connect to the Internet to edit the web.
 * No user name and password are required to open the web, unless you are using FrontPage Personal Web Server.
 * You must connect to your Web Presence Provider to publish your web.

Editing a Web on a Remote Server

 * Editing your web remotely requires you to submit a user name and password.
 * Internet connection is required to access the remote server. This means you need to connect to your Web Presence Provider (WPP).
 * When you edit a page directly on the remote server, changes are made automatically without the use of the Publish feature.
