This is a short - and by no means complete - primer on how to edit a web site using Front Page 2003.
Create a local site
Click FILE > NEW, from the menu on the right choose ‘More page templates'
Choose the ‘Empty web site' template, and specify a location for the new web ste
Create an FTP Location
Click FILE > OPEN SITE
Open the ‘Look In' dropdown, and click on ‘Add/Modify FTP Locations' at the bottom of the menu
Enter in the site name (something like ‘ftp://mySite.com'), user name and password. Your web host will provide this information
Click ‘Add' when you're finished. After this, the new site will appear in the ‘Open Site' dialog. Click on the site one time, then click the ‘Open' button.
The ‘Name and Password Required' box will open. Type in the password provide by your web host and click ‘OK'
Be sure that ‘FTP' is selected, and click ‘next'
Select the location where you want to put the files, and click ‘Next'
You will now have a window with the local site in one pane, and the remote site in the other pane. You may now transfer pages off the server, edit them, and return them to the server by clicking the arrows between the panes.
