Probably the most widely used feature is the ability to map a drive and work on files while they are live on the web server. To transfer files to the server you can either FTP or drag and drop through a mapped drive. Best for developers who are using FrontPage and those who wish to work with Microsoft databases. Also negates the need to FTP which is considered by many to be a significant convenience issue. It features graphical management tools that should be familiar to Windows users.
Files are uploaded through the Explorer publish feature or drag and drop to the Explorer window.
For details on which features are or are not supported please see FrontPage Server Extensions .
