FP2000: Server Extension Error When Opening a File Using FTP

This article was previously published under Q219247

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to open a file directly from an FTP location, the following error message appears:
The Server Extensions do not support this action on FTP servers.

CAUSE

Although you can rename and delete files from the Open dialog box (on the File menu, click Open), you cannot open a file or web that is in an FTP location.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

If you want to edit a file at an FTP location, first save the file to a local computer or to a location such as a Web server using the HTTP protocol, and then download the file. Then you can open the file in FrontPage and make the necessary changes.


APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
