# Publishing Your FrontPage Website with FTP

In this tutorial we will show you how to publish a FrontPage website using **FTP**. This will allow you to continue publishing your website after **FrontPage Extensions** have been disabled on the server. Microsoft stopped supporting FrontPage in 2006, and we have done our best to allow it to still be used with our servers. At this time FrontPage extensions can open a server up to certain vulnerabilities, which helped us decide to discontinue its use with our hosting environment. For more information, please read our full guide “[Death of FrontPage Extensions](/support/website/the-death-of-frontpage-extensions/).”

You will need to know your FTP *hostname*, *username*, and *password* to complete this tutorial. If you do not know them, I recommend reading our [FTP Getting Started Guide](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/ftp/getting-started-guide/).

## Publishing FrontPage with FTP

1. In Frontpage, click **File**, then click **Publish Site…** [![frontpage publish site](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/frontpage_publish-site-link.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/frontpage_publish-site-link.png)
2. Choose **FTP**, then enter your **FTP hostname** in the *Remote Web site location* field. (In my tests I entered: **ftp://example.com**). Click the **Use Passive FTP** option, then the **OK** button.

3. A *Name and Password Required* box will pop up. Enter your **FTP username** in the *Name* field. Then put your **FTP password** in the *Password* field, and click the **OK** button.

4. You will then see your *Local* and *Remote* web site files listed. Highlight the *local* files you want to publish, then drag and drop them into the *remote* folder for your website.

It is finished when you see your website files on the right side of the window, in the *remote Web Site* listing. Test your website at this time; if you don’t see the changes refresh the page, or [clear your browser’s cache](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/how-to-clear-browser-cache-for-major-browsers/).

Congratulations, now you know how to publish your **FrontPage** website using FTP!
