hmm maybe you shouldn't FTP if you are using Frontpage. Just a thought. lol. Nah but seriously, you can mess up the extensions if you FTP files to your site w/o using Frontpage.

The problem is that when create a page with a FrontPage specific directive such as a counter, it creates certain files within the _* directories. Uploading pages which contain FrontPage directives does not create the necissary files; thus, your FrontPage directives stop working.

It is because, the files you uploaded w/out Front Page, the owner of the files is not set to "nobody". And Front Page likes to mess with files with owners other than "nobody", and always cause a lot of problem.
