I have used both Blackboard and Web CT for delivering contactor licensing reviews online; I believe Moodle will beat them hands down however; I have uploaded the folder using MS Frontpage which created some problems evidenced by the warning messages below. Thanks for any help you can provide. Dave_____________________________________________

Don't use Frontpage to upload Moodle, just use plain FTP.

Frontpage has created extra folders (_vti_cnf) that Moodle finds and misinterprets as new modules which it tries to install - hence your errors.

Thanks for your rapid response. I will reload with plain FTP. This educational tool you have developed will go far to transform the dynamics
of learning.

hi, new here...

So, what is the work around for this?

I have a customer that LOVES MS Frontpage and won't use anything else, because of the "ease of use" he has with it.

Is there anything I can do just short of hosting moodle somewhere else?

help... please help...

Think about uploading files from within "Moodle". It works pretty well. The doc says you can also upload a zipped archive and extract from within "Moodle." You may have to give you client admin priviledges (inside of Moodle).
