I need help. I have been using front page. I am now using (or wanting to use)
dw cs4... but, i am stuck on the first thing to do. I need to get dw to take
front page stuff.... how do i do that? And do I need ftp access first?

First of all, please use a more descriptive title for your topic. 'Just

Yes, you will need to use FTP to transfer the files from the FP hosted site to
your local machine. Before using Dreamweaver, or any other application that
uses FTP on this site, you need to be aware that FTP will break many of the
FrontPage server extensions. So the first thing you need to tell us is whether
this is a live site and if it is using FP extensions.
