: Removing an old Frontpage website from a domain and uploading a new (static) one I've been asked to refresh a really old website (made I think around 2000 with Frontpage) with a new version.

I've been asked to refresh a really old website (made I think around 2000 with Frontpage) with a new version.

So, after developing it locally, I jumped on the client's FTP and saw an unfamiliar folder structure: it's the damned Frontpage!

Here's a screenshot of the folder structure:


And there's a bunch of html files, omitted to save space.

I have no experience on Frontpage (luckily I guess), but my question is simple:


Is it safe to delete everything in the root of the host and upload my new website?
If anything goes wrong, will I be able to simple re-upload the old website and restore everything as it was before? I've read that uploading Frontpage websites via ftp is discouraged.


The website is hosted on a Linux server and has no database, it's a plain simple web hosting
