Strange FrontPage Permission Issue

Hello everyone.
I am currently experiencing some strange problems with my current hosting provider.

When you attempt to create a new directory/folder within FrontPage, It creates the Folder (called New_Folder) and when you try to rename it, it says Server Error: Cannot rename "New_Folder".

When I go into CuteFTP I can see the permissions on the folder. The write permission is removed from the folder.

If I go into H-Sphere and click fix FrontPage extensions. It will then add write permission to all the folders. You have to do this EVERY TIME you create a new folder.

As you can tell, this is a pain in the butt for my customers.

My hosting company tells me:
A. Don't use FrontPage or
B. Use the latest version.

Well, I'm using FrontPage XP SP-2, so thats pretty "Up To Date", plus at the two other hosting companies I use, I have never had a problem.

Seems to me like maybe something is wrong at the hosting provider, but I have no idea what. Does anyone have a suggestion that I can offer to my hosting company?

If you need any additional information or this post belongs in a better place, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Randy


Thanks,
Randy
