Sorry for the previous post. I accidentally hit "send".

Is it possible to mark a directory (at the directory level) as "Don't
Publish"?

Not with FP 2002. However, there is a free FP addin that will do this
called "selective publish" you can download and install from
www.jimcoaddins.com

Convert the directory/folder to subweb.

Do you know if this addin iterates thru the individual files in a directory
and marks each as "Don't Publish"? Or does it somehow flag the directory
itself as "Don't Publish"?

Dennis,

I'm pretty sure it iterates through. I belive FrontPage only understands
the "Don't Publish" flag on a per-page basis. You can use the feedback form
on Jim's website to ask him if you need confirmation.

Yes. I use it and it's great.

Thanks to everyone for responding. It looks like a subweb is the way to go.

Dennis,

There's some trade-offs if you go with a subweb. For example, if you
use FrontPage Includes, you'll have to duplicate that content in the
subweb. You can't use FP Includes accross webs.

There are other reasons to avoid subwebs, but then again, there's plenty
to recommend them as well. Just make sure you're aware of any hurdles
you may have to go through. (I can't think of any others because I
never use subwebs. :) )

Jack, however if you just want to avoid publishing a folder, convert it to a subweb, will not impact
the FP Includes or Shared borders, if after you published you convert the subweb back to a folder.

Good point. I guess I just get a little gunshy since that impacts the
web configuration as opposed to just marking a flag. But, hey, it works. :)

This directory is the target of some program generated web-pages. I don't want
FP to automatically publish these. I have a separate program which manages the
uploading of these pages. These pages do not use any FP features, so I think a
subweb sounds like the way to go.

Subweb would be the way to go with this. Make sure you have a subweb of the same name in both your
local and remote sites.

If the folder doesn't already exist on the remote server then you can publish the subweb. If the
folder exist, which it sound like it does, then you have to open the remote site and convert the
folder to web.

I did the former (since the server I am on is not running FP).

But now I am having a minor problem.

On my PC I have...

myweb (dir)
mysubweb (dir in myweb marked as a subweb)
myfile (file in mysubweb)

I have the same on the server.

When I publish myweb I get a message that says myfile exists on the server but
not on my PC ... do I want to delete it?

Why is a rootweb publish looking at files in the subweb?

You can only have subwebs on a server that has the FP extensions, and then it is only seen as a
subweb when you publish via FP's http mode, not FTP.

When you publish, do not check to include subwebs.
