You can import web files from your machine in a variety of methods including Drag and
Drop between Windows Explorer and FrontPage Explorer to quickly get your files uploaded.

Your home/root page in any folder should be default.htm. If this is not present the
Server will look for index.htm, and then default.asp. If none of these exist it will
return an error to Browsers as we have disabled directory "browsing/sniffing"
for security reasons. If you need another name for your root pages such as
"default.cfm" or "index.html" please let us know and we can make
changes to precedence and additions.
