Publish without "delete file on server" query?

[Bryan]

I'm using FP2000 to maintain a .org web site that's hosted by earthlink's
servers. Whenever I publish changes to the web site (daily), FP sees all the
hosting files that track visitor traffic and other things and for each one
asks me, for example: "the file logs/.htaccess exists on the server but does
not exist in the current web. Would you like FrontPage to remove it from
<Root Web>?" I have to click "no" for each one (currently about thirty such
files).
I'd love to find a way to stop FP from comparing files on the server to
files on the web on my C drive when I publish. Don't want to delete the files
from the server, either, nor copy them to C: as they are apparently being
added daily as traffic is tracked.
I know I can just upload changed pages with FTP outside FP, but if FP's
publish routine can be tweaked I'd appreciate knowing how. Thanks.

Don't FTP
- you will break the FP SE

Poor setup by EarthLink
- log files should not be in your root on a good server host

Anyway, call them and ask them to convert the logs folder to a FP subweb
- they will complain & make excuses, but they will do it if you insist
