Installing frontpage extensions

Overview

Frontpage Extensions allow you to publish your site directly from the FrontPage application. This means that you will not have to upload files through FTP, or another method.

WARNING: We do not recommend installing FrontPage Extensions unless you need them. When installing or uninstalling FrontPage Extensions you will loose all of your .htaccess files for your site. This means that any changes you have made to your .htaccess files will be lost.
