If I remember correctly from my FrontPage 2002 class last fall-part of my degree requirement-you can download an entire site to your hard drive using FP. In order to FTP the modified files, you still have to have the proper Username and Password.

This ability is supposed to be an "enhanced feature" of the software. We actually did this by going out to the Student Download section of the book vendor's web site and downloaded an entire site to use in FrontPage. However, we could only upload the files to the school's web server, and only to our designated folders on the server. After we typed in the URL of where the files were to go, we were prompted for a Username and Password. If we typed a different URL that we did not have access to, we were denied.

HTH,
Janet

It appears so.  I didn't test that theory because I didn't want to deface
someone else's site... but all indications were that I could have done
anything.

My thoughts... if someone is running a business like that, a competitor
could surreptitiously redirect the hyperlinks to the competing site...

My guess was that these sites were using IIS... and possibly an older
version... since Apache sites seem more secure.  Then again, that is just an
armchair observation... a real hacker type could be more definitive.
