ID: Q194276

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

FrontPage does not include File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Gopher, Telnet, or Wide Area Information Service (WAIS) protocol services (although these protocols are included in the drop-down menus for creating links in the FrontPage Editor). When you select the link in a browser or follow it in the FrontPage Editor, it may not be resolved or it may generate an error message.


MORE INFORMATION

FTP, Gopher, Telnet and WAIS servers are available through several third- party vendors. FTP and Gopher services can also be implemented through Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). For implementation and configuration of IIS, please consult the Readme file included with IIS.

The Microsoft Internet Information Server can be obtained from the Microsoft World Wide Web site at

The Microsoft Internet Information Server is not supported by FrontPage at this time; FTP and Gopher services, however, can be used in conjunction with FrontPage.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
