- We want to FTP some large files to our website form another computer...
- We do not want to load them into the Front Page project as we don't want
to have these large files sitting on the Hard Disk on the Front Page
computer.

Front Page seems to want to keep up with what files and folders are on our
website and unless they are in the Front Page "project" Front Page will
attempt to delete them off the server.

How can we get Front Page to ignore select files on the server?

Maybe have the FTP program put them in a folder and then have Front Page
show the 'remote web site' and somehow tell Front Page to ignore the
folders? (I've tried this by right clicking on the 'remote web site' folders
in Front Page... hoping Properties would have an option telling Front Page
to leave the folders alone... but saw no such option)

Thanks for any help.

Create a subweb / site on the live / remote server via FP, then use FTP to upload to this folder.

Can we still link to the files via front page? From "outside" the 'sub web'
??
