to the web server via Microsoft FrontPage, File Transport Protocol
(FTP) or a Telnet Client. If you have a PPP internet account and need
FTP software, you can download a program for either the PC or Mac from
our site. There's more information available in our Online Manual.

use FrontPage 97 or 98 to publish your website to our server; then, DO NOT use an FTP program or Telnet
client to upload, edit or delete your files in the WWW directory that are FrontPage
