How do I open an existing project on your server?

To open a Visual Studio .NET project from your DiscountASP.NET hosting account, follow the steps listed below.
  1. Enable FrontPage Extensions on your account using the FrontPage tool in the Control Panel IIS Tools.
  2. Select "File -> Open -> Project from web".
  3. Enter the URL to your site, http://www.YourHostedDomainName.com, in the dialogue.
  4. Click "Ok."
  5. Enter your username and password when prompted. This is the same username/password you would use to access your control panel and/or FTP.
  6. Double click the project file you want to open.
  7. If you are prompted with a "Web Access Failed" dialogue, select "Try to open the project with FrontPage Server extensions". You will then have to re-enter your username and password as in step 5.
