What makes things worse is that Microsoft have stopped development and support for FP leaving WebHosts no recourse but to drop FPE from their servers and leaving end-users with a broken website.

An option for them then is to:

If they opt to publish via ftp, this is possible as Microsoft FrontPage supports two methods of publishing files to the web server: HTTP POST and FTP though HTTP POST is the default publishing feature in Microsoft FrontPage (using the PUBLISH button), and the preferred method for uploading the Microsoft FrontPage created web site.

To use Microsoft FrontPage to upload a web via FTP, perform the following steps:

1. Open your web in Microsoft FrontPage Explorer
2. Click FILE -> PUBLISH WEB
3. Type in the destination FTP Server name in the location box in the form of:
ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com
4. Choose whether you wish to publish all pages, or only changed pages since your last publishing session
5. Click the PUBLISH button
6. Enter your FTP username and password when prompted

Hope this helps and let me know just about anything.
