The WWW consortium's tool, Amaya, also works quite well to avoid FrontPage's limitations. And it actually follows the standards for HTML encoding, correctly handling relative URL's, creating far more reliable and compatible web pages than Microsoft's tools. If the last avaiable version of FrontPage still supports it, and for many other tools which *do* support it such as the World Wide Web consortium's tool "Amaya", WebDAV is a much, much better protocol than FTP. It uses HTTP or preferably HTTPS, it's built into core UNIX and Linux system tools such as Subversion so it's well supported, it doesn't have the split data and command channel problems that FTP has always had at firewalls, and no one blocks outgoing HTTPS at their firewalls in environments where the web must be accessible. Many sites very casually block the SSH port 22 that SFTP uses (to my occasional regret, and often so that the proxy servers or intervening network tools can monitor user's traffic for content). I've helped several companies migrate from FTP to WebDAV over HTTPS with good success and excellent reliability. Is this open to you?
