I can publish every page but one.

I can modify the web site's home page, save it, then publish it to the net
using Filezilla. But when I go online and bring up the web site, the home
page hasn't changed. I recheck the file in FrontPage, and sure enough all the
changes are in place. But I can't replace the old online version.

This only happens with the home (index) page. I can successfully modify
every other page on the web site.

Can anyone give me a clue what's going on?

Why are you publishing with FileZilla??

You can ftp publish with FrontPage.

Have you made sure that the page's name is truly the default page name?
Sometimes two can accidentally get published at some point, and only the
second one gets updated. For example, on an IIS web server the default page
for a directory is named default.htm. When FP publishes directly to a web
server, FP will make sure that the default file that you are publishing
matches the default file on the web server, and will change names/links to
match. Now, let's say at some point you published this way with FP, but
later used another method such as FTP to publish. If your page was named
index.htm, it would still publish, but is over-ridden by the old page at
default.htm since that is higher in the order of page name precedence.

Sometimes it can also be that the web server simply has the paged cached and
won't let go. In this case deleting the page that is on the server, trying
to get the page through a browser (forcing the page into a 404 so the server
hopefully realizes the page doesn't exist and drops it from the cache) then
re-publishing the page.

Hope this helps,

The web site is on a university server, and when I try to publish with
FrontPage I get the following error message:

"The server you are publishing to does not have the FrontPage Server
Extensions installed, and therefore does not support publishing via HTTP. To
continue publishing, specify a location that will work with FTP."

Many thanks. You were right, the FrontPage file was named "index.htm" but the
server designated it "default.htm." So I renamed the FrontPage file
"default.htm" and the problem was solved.

You probably have two home pages...like index.htm and index.html
