Well I could if I wanted manually upload every directory and subdirectory -
that would suck. Fortunately (or unfortunately - Nobody bothered to let
anyone know we had gotten the newer WS_FTP) and I was able to configure THAT
one to binary transfer everything except .htm, .html, .txt and .xml
files. Since I don't do JSP's I didn't include them but I probably should.
Once I did that your suggestion of using ws_ftp worked like a champ. I know the
FTP server does the translation, but I'll have, for instance, some
PDF's and an HTML menus to access them, and it's all in the same directory.
Manually I would have to move the text-for-translation files separately
from the leave as binary files but ws_ftp clients produced AFTER man invented
the wheel did the job of sorting that out nicely.
Thanks for the help.

I guess my point was that I believe that FrontPage Publish requires the
FP extensions.
Why can't you use BINARY uploads for the images and a regular FTP for
the text files?
We use the DOS based FTP.EXE work here for upload to z/OS (where the FTP
server does the translation).

The problem I have is on the z/OS side at least, it's gonna wanna do
ascii/ebcdic translations of files. This of course id fatal for
anything not an HTML or other text based format.
I did publish the thing locally, but the very ancient version of ws_ftp
we have here doesn't seem to have a method for saying what file
extensions to translate and what not to. I suspect there's a table like
that for z/OS ftp but I'm not the person who maintains it.

If I remember correctly, Publish requires the FP extensions. I know I
could never get it to work from my home PC to my webpage provider, so I
use WS_FTp to upload my webpages.

Hey Gang.
I am being 'blessed' with Microsfot Frontpage 2003 to use to do HTML
stuff. (Officially Sanctioned tool here) I have to publish it to both a
Linux instance and a z/OS image. The Linux instance will eventually live
on an intel VM thing. Anyway....
The thing is, I can't get the blasted thing to publish via FTP to z/OS -
it's trying to use the ftp:// web browser protocol instead of a real FTP
session. if I tell it to try ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path it fails to
detect the already created folder and then bitches about it cant find a
server at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. The fact that it is not seeing a folder
that should be there tells me it never gets to the HFS and is not
handling an internal error correctly.
I have not yet tried to get it to talk to Linux but that looks like at
the very least it's going to require Frontpage extensions or WebDav.
Neither of which I think will fly.
Way back in the day, I used FP 98 (again that's what was sanctioned,
regardless of how lousy a product it is) back in the day, and that
invoked a real FTP conversation irrespective of there being a web server
involved. Is there any way to get FP 2003 to just DO what I want it to
do? If not, is there an open source publishing solution I can run on
Linux on intel?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
