The Remote Web site view in Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 can help you publish your entire Web site and individual files and folders to any location: An extended Web server, supporting File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDA V) in a WEB server, or a location in the file system.
The Remote Web site view also displays files from both the local Web site and the remote Web site. Icons and descriptive text indicate the state of files and folders, and the synchronization feature helps ensure that no files or folders are accidentally overwritten.
Connect to a remote Web site
The New Remote Web Site dialog box allows you to specify connection settings and help you manage connection types and protocols-including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or passive FTP.
Optimize HTML
You can generate clean HTML code in files and folders when you publish to a remote Web site on a local Web site. This means that you can reduce the size of your Web page by removing extra formatting and markup. Web designers can use whitespace to make HTML look more appealing, but they are not necessarily necessary for Web pages to work correctly. You can delete empty tags, white space, extra tags, unused and empty style definitions, and certain tags that you specify.
