Very simple ASP page edit and FTP question

Hi everyone, would someone be able to help with a very simple question?

I have a friend who’s in house web designer has basically gone and walked off and left him in a bit of a situation. I’ve agreed to help him out temporarily and have now found out his site looks to be a totally custom ASP build.

Problem is I’ve never touched ASP in all the years I’ve been building sites and have always worked on Linux servers.

From what I can make out the site is built from a collection of static ASP pages and a shopping cart which is serving up products to a template page. All my friend needs is for me to go in and change a few simple details and offers on the static pages (anything in the cart is handled from a back end admin area).

Everything to me looks pretty straight forward as from what I can make out on the static pages they’re basically just html pages with the .aspx extension so elements like forms etc can call up the ASP.

So really my main question will be are there any special quirks I should watch out for as once we’ve got the FTP details, I’m assuming it’s a simple case of setting up FTP to connect to the Windows server as I normally do with a Linux server, then just ‘get’ from the server and ‘put’ straight back once I’ve made the changes.

Only trouble is I’ve found out to my own peril before never to assume too much in this trade.

Thanks in advance … Aaron

.aspx means it is ASP.NET not classic ASP. This might put a different spin on what you’re asking/the validity of answers. Perhaps a mod can move this thread to the .NET forum?

ahh right, definitely showing my limited knowledge of ASP there, at least I know which flavour of ASP I’m dealing with now, thanks Ian.
