=============
If you look through the archives you will see quite a discussion on
the uploading problems with fp via ftp. Rootsweb was requiring you
to use passive mode which fp2003 is not capable of so a 3rd party ftp
program was needed. I thought it had been fixed but maybe not.

Here is some info on publishing to the Rootseb servers using
frontpage 2002

And if you want to try FileZilla
