Frontpage access disabled 28/08
Download the zip file to your PC, create an empty directory and extract the zip to that directory. Make any changes to the pages as needed (e.g. links if you've absolute paths to fp.username.plus.com) and then use any FTP program to upload the entire structure to homepages.
If you've used Frontpage extensions you could also upload the entire structure to another hosting provider who still supports them (if you can find one!).

Dear Bob
The fact is, I, like potentially many people out there, have a website in commercial use at one of your Frontpage Sites.
It shows my availability / unavailability to my clients, and I am losing work now as this site cannot be updat3ed.
I have been doble booked and missed work because people think I'm available when I'm not, and not available when I am.
I need to be able to redirect them away from that site so for God's sake at least open it up so we can replace the index pages.
I don't care whether Frontpage dies a death or not but it's been weeks now since this occurred and it is criminal to keep displaying out of date information when we're paying you for the service.
Now open up those websites and let us at least direct people away from redundant data, I think you may well be committing a criminal act there if you carry on like this.
Best Regards

Quote from: AndyBude Oh and I've not had an e-mail from you about the demise of Frontpage yet either
The final batch of emails are queued to be sent at 4.00pm this afternoon. Sorry about the delay, we had a few problems with our mass mailer earlier in the week

Worth noting that you can probably open the directory as a new site in FrontPage and upload it to the Homepages server that way using FTP.
@AndyBude, what version of FrontPage do you have? (I'm hoping you have 2003 then I might be able to give you some step by step instructions).

Sorry about the hassle. If you upload the necessary index pages to the Homepages servers and raise a ticket here requesting it then we can replace your index pages for you.

I don't think there's any question about the legality of what we're doing to be honest. Having said that I'm sure more questions would be raised if we opened up access to the platform and the security vulnerability I've cited led to a load of customer data getting compromised?
Quote from: AndyBude Aaron/Bob - I'd like to retract my comments about CS - the work Aaron has done for me so far is far beyond what I would have hoped for.
Glad to hear it, Aaron's a top chap! If you do need me to do anything at any point though then feel free to give me a nudge.

If you've (a) got a copy of your Frontpage website ready for uploading elsewhere and (b) it would be better if your clients got a 404 error than duff info why don't you just deactivate FP? When your new website is up you could email them the new address.
