Error:
Internet Explorer could not open http://WebSiteName as a Web Folder. Would you like to see its default view instead?

Or, when you double-click the Web Folders icon in My Computer or Windows Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot connect to Web server http://WebSiteName. The server could not be located, or may be too busy to respond. Please check your typing or check to make sure the Web server is available. For details see C:\TempDirectoryName\Wecerr.txt.

4. Enable authoring for FrontPage
5. Save the changes
Now you should be able to connect and upload files using web folders
