The steps are:
1. Disable the Frontpage web in the GUI.
2.
ssh to the server,
su -
cd /home/sites/www.thatdomain.com/web/
rm -f .htaccess
rm -f postinfo.html
mkdir ../fp
mv ./* ../fp
cd ../fp
cp -R images ../web/images
3. In the GUI, enable the FP extensions for that site.
4. Back on the command line you are in the fp directory yet:
mv * ../web
5. That is it.
