With XP, many of the old features are gone. MS decided to hose their customers over
and make the Web Publishing Wizard only work with "their" selected choices or those
hosting sites that would pay them to be included. Linux is looking better all the
time for those of us who are serious.
At www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html they have a limited edition FTP program
which you can download. Third party software is where Microsoft wants you to go
anyway, right?
Or you can open up your "DOS window" and use FTP. This works well except that you
have to learn the commands (which is something us old-timers have been doing for
years). You also can only do one file at a time this way and you have to switch
the mode to ASCII for html files and to binary for images and such.
That's about all I can suggest since Microsoft has decided to operate like Apple
and target their systems towards people who don't or can't do much with their computers.
For us techies, they just create one nightmare after the other with every new release.
Hope this helps.
You can also complain to Mircosoft about it but it may take a lot of voices before
Microsofts ears are undeafened.
