Publishing with FTP or Front Page?

[AAaron123]

I started to sign up with a new web host service.

I have to select for Publishing either FTP or Front Page.

I am using VS2008 to develop and wonder which I should chose.

Does one of them interface better with VS/ASP.Net than the other?



Thanks

FrontPage as a product is long gone, however the "FrontPage Server
Extenstions (FPSE)" are still around as an option for publishing to
Microsoft servers.

Having said that, VS 2008 no longer requires the FPSE be used to publish to
every possible destination, but it is required for publishing to remote
servers using HTTP. FTP, which is a tried and true protocol can be used to
move files to any server that allows incoming FTP connections. Most web
hosting environments allow both HTTP acces via the FPSE and FTP.
