Rename a web

When you rename a web, Microsoft FrontPage automatically updates all internal hyperlinks and other web settings with the new web name.

1. On the Tools menu, click Web Settings, and then click the General tab.
2. In the Web name box, type a new name for the web.

Notes

• Renaming a disk-based web changes the path to the web on your local computer or local network. Renaming a server-based web changes the web's URL on the server.
• If you rename a web after publishing it, you'll need to republish the entire web under the new name. Hyperlinks from other Web sites to your old web will no longer work, so be sure to advise your site visitors of the new path or URL. You can also redirect the old URL to the new URL by creating a virtual directory on the server; consult your server documentation for details.

Copy a web

The Publish command lets you copy a web or a subweb to either a file system location or a server. When you copy a web by publishing it, Microsoft FrontPage maintains all of the hyperlinks, as well as the original web's theme information, shared borders, and so on. If you publish a web to another web, FrontPage creates the original web as a subweb of the web to which it was published.

Open a web

• On the File menu, click Open Web, and then do one of the following:
  • To open a disk-based web on your local computer, in the Folder Name box, type the path to the folder containing the web, and then click Open.

    For example, to open a web named Northwind located on your C: drive in the My Webs folder, you would type C:\My Webs\Northwind.

    Or, use the Look In box to navigate to the My Webs folder (or any other folder containing webs). In the list of webs, select the web you want, and then click Open.

  • To open a disk-based web on a network computer, use the Look in box to navigate to the network drive and folder containing the web you want to open. In the list of webs, select the web you want, and then click Open.

    Tip   To map a network drive without leaving the Open Web dialog box, click Tools, and then click Map Network Drive.

  • To open a web on a server, in the Folder Name box, type the URL to that web, and then click Open.

    For example, to open a web named Northwind on a server named My Server, you would type http://My Server/Northwind.

  • To open a subweb displayed in the Folder List of another web, double-click the subweb.

Notes

• To open a web that you've opened recently, in the Open Web dialog box, click the drop-down arrow at the right of the Folder Name box, click the web you want, and then click Open. Or, if you aren't in the Open Web dialog box, point to Recent Webs on the File menu, and then click the web you want.
• To open the last web you worked on automatically each time you start FrontPage, click Options on the Tools menu, and then select the Open last web automatically when FrontPage starts check box.
• In the Open Web dialog box, click an icon on the left (such as History, Favorites, or Web Folders) to open a web in one of those locations.
• If you already have a web open, each subsequent web opens in a new FrontPage window.
