FrontPage Server Extensions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Software technology that allows Microsoft FrontPage clients to communicate with web servers, and provide additional functionality intended for websites. Frequent security problems have marked the history of this Microsoft proprietary technology.

It relies on HTTP protocol for communication, and CGI/POST for server side processing.

Software IDE Microsoft Visual Studio 6 uses this technology for file synchronization purposes, and strongly depends on this technology for file management. .NET Microsoft products obsoleted this in favor of WebDAV.
