Silver Surfer,
I solved the problem on my own with some more research on the internet. I
found a thread where someone suggested using a 3rd party software Ipswitch WS
FTP which is a file transfer protocol software. That's all it does. I
downloaded a free trial from the internet, connected and located my website
(for some reason I had to use the numbers of the site and not the name) and
uploaded my changes, no problems! I also had to temporarily disable the
McAfee firewall (which I never used to have to disable), but not the Qwest
DSL firewall. Since then I have purchased the Ipswitch software and had no
more problems uploading. The $58.80 was worth it compared to the time I
wasted trying to get the FrontPage to upload.
