OK. You would think that one of the largest domain registrars who also provide web site hosting would have this down – but they don’t . If you are hosting a website at GoDaddy.com and want to have Frontpage extensions enabled and also have anonymous write permissions set for a folder (So you can let users upload files to your site for example via a web page) – you can’t. I tried to do this by installing FrontPage. Logging into to my site in FP. Navigating to the folder. Right Clicking and choosing ‘Properties…’ and then unchecking ‘Allow scripts to run’ and then checking ‘Allow anonymous upload to this directory’.
Even this did not work for me. If anyone has figured this out please tell me.
The other hosting company I work with – Crystaltech.com – let you do this via their control panel. Basically, eveything on Crystaltech I find to be easier but ever since they canceled their $2.95/mo Developer plan, GoDaddy’s prices are much better (.NET + Database).
