What were FrontPage Server Extensions?

I am reading some stuff on .NET 2.0 and it refers to FTP based project as
an alternative to 'FrontPage Server Extensions' which are then obsolete. Ok,
I never heard of this. 'FrontPage Server Extensions' would be a way to
synchronise files from a development environment to production?

I found this in wiki:

<wiki>
FrontPage Server Extensions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Software technology that allows Microsoft FrontPage clients to communicate
with web servers, and provide additional functionality intended for
websites. Frequent security problems have marked the history of this
Microsoft proprietary technology.
It relies on HTTP protocol for communication, and CGI/POST for server side
processing.
Software IDE Microsoft Visual Studio 6 uses this technology for file
synchronization purposes, and strongly depends on this technology for file
management. .NET Microsoft products obsoleted this in favor of WebDAV.
</wiki>

I think this text is a bit unclear. If you read it in some way, it looks
like Front Page Server Extensions were a special sort of webbrowser? But
that not the case, right? I refer to 'clients to communicate with web
servers', that sounds more like getting a page from a server and display it
in a browser then changing the file on the server to update it. But I think
the last is what FrontPage Server Extensions were used for?

OK, I admit it - I'm a FrontPage user ! :-} Now learning PHP and I LIKE it! but - anyone had problems or offer advice about integrating PHP with FrontPage extensions? Specifically avoiding corrupting them? It seems to be a standard disclaimer from Hosting services that "activation of FrontPage extensions will limit functionality of the control panel" and you risk corrupting the Extensions if you activate some of the options....

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this or not but I am wondering if it is possible to run a "mixed" website. That is, use pages which leverage ASP.net where appropriate and pages which leverage FrontPage Server extentions (I use FP 2000) on the same web site. Is it possible? Any trips? Any features which won't work? (assuming I don't try to mix the format on an

Hi. Is there any article that talks about the purpose of each of the Frontpage extensions folders (_vti_cnf, _vti_pvt, _vti_script, and _vti_txt)? When I create a new ASP.NET application, these folders are automatically created. Thanks, Robert Scheer

Hi, We are currently running VS.NET clients against a Windows 2000 server which has Frontpage server extensions; this means we can have teams of developers interacting on web applications from remote locations over HTTP without firewall issues. However, Frontpage extensions have now been discontinued and replaced by Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) on Windows Server 2003. This means that if we want to be able to work "live" or...

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

I'm wondering how far the influence of the frontpage extensions extends. I would like to be able to put .net 2.0 web services on a web host in the directory that is created by visual studio. I would also like to be able to put classic ASP files in the same directory and use FTP and IE to update...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
