I believe Frontpage just uses FTP to publish, unless you happen to have
the Frontpage extensions installed at your ISP (shudder) in which case
it does who-knows-what to transfer your site using the frontpage
extension binaries on the server.

As someone who works for an ISP that grudgingly supports Frontpage, I
can tell you from experience it is truly a lousy program.

I expect FP 2000 will be the same. Very pretty exterior, but with a
rotten core.
