Replacement for Frontpage

meths · 23 Mar 2007 at 00:09

I used to use Frontpage as a quick way of uploading pictures to my Telewest webspace so that I could link to them in posts and whatnot but in Office 2007 Frontpage has been removed.

Can I use publisher to carry out this task now or can anyone recommend a decent free program that can do it? I am looking to import what is already on my webspace into said program first.

I'm not really bothered about designing a coherent web page just now as I don't have the time with work and uni. I just want a quick way to fling my pictures up.

Sounds to me like you require an ftp program?

In that case there is a free ftp program that works okay - http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Are you looking for something else though?

Nicer interface than Filezilla

Does SmartFTP support SSH yet?..... i had to give up using that a while back coz i need a SSH supported FTP app.

Stuck using Filezilla at the moment, its missing some really handy little features, and its slow at directory browsing.

Not as standard, but it can be easily done. Check out the support forums for details.

You can also FTP stuff from within Windows XP.

I personally prefer using a standalone app that having to run IE at all tho.

Agree with you there, i never use IE apart from testing websites and for those few sites that just refuse to work properly with anything else because they have lazy ass admins who won't code with other browsers in mind, that actually handle code the way its suppose to and not how IE trys to define it.

I was trying out Smart FTP and can upload files to my ftp server easy enough but when I use their http address to try and link to them they don't show up on the linked web page.

Is their an easy way around this?

I tried the tutorials but they are very basic.
