Over the past 2 years or so, I've uninstalled and resintalled frontpage extensions, changed a lot of file names, etc...etc... I know that what's on my computer no longer matches whats on my website, and frontpage isn't catching all of the "this file exists on the local machine but not on the server, do you wish to remove it from www.xxx.com?"

Basically, I just want to make sure that everything I have is ALL that's on my website, no other files that should have been changed or deleted. Is there a way to completely delete all files on my website and re-upload them all? Or is there a decent option in frontpage to verify that both places are exactly the same?

Try using FileZilla, available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558. You can download the files from your site, then upload only the ones you want to put back.

Using Filezilla, or another FTP client. completely delete your htdocs directory. Then, create a new htdocs directory, and reupload the files you want.
