: 
: How do I tell Frontpage that the website I am about to post 
: to my host is only to be viewed by the person I am designing 
: the website for. Lot's of times when you post a webpage or 
: website to your host these robots take your pages and
: post them so the world can see even when you are not 
: ready for the world to see.

As a number of people have pointed out, you need to do this "server-side"

Frontpage is a tool that you use for designing a website or webpage. However
it is up to the server to control who gets access to that content. AFAIK
there is no easy way to do this in Frontpage, as Frontpage isn't aware of the
server that's going to be hosting the content.

Frontpage may have some tools that will let you build a password protection
system for the content - you are probably best off asking in a Frontpage
specific forum (eg newsgroup) about that though.

Cheers
Ken
