Hi, I am using FrontPage 2002 and want to know if there is a way to download my site through FrontPage to my harddrive. I can't see a way? Thanks Jim

Jim, Do you require that this be done through FrontPage, or will another method do? What Operating System and browser are you using? Regards, aceresearcher

Hi Aceresearcher, Yes I need to do it through FrontPage because it's the only access I have to the server. I'd FTP in a heartbeat if I had the server address, but I don't. It's a long story but it's my server, run by a guy who's giving me a hard time and won't give me the server address, and so on. So, for now, as a work-a-round I was hoping to get a copy of my site through FrontPage. My OS is Win-XP Home, and my browser is MSIE6. Hope you can help. Thanks Jim

Jim, I recommend that you try saving the web pages from your site one-by-one using Internet Explorer. For each page on your site (in Internet Explorer): Click on the "File" menu in the upper left-hand corner of Internet Explorer, Select "Save As", browse to the folder where you want to save it (You may want to click the "New Folder" icon and create a folder called "My Website"). This should save all of the files associated with that page, including .jpgs, .gifs, and .css . Make sure that the filename is what you want it to be, that Save As Type is "Web Page, complete (*.htm, *.html), and that Encoding is "Unicode UTF-8". Here's a tutorial on the "Save As" command, from .net magazine: http://www.netmag.co.uk/ie5/save-page.htm If this does not work for you, please post a Clarification stating that, and I'll work with you to get the job done. If you are able to do so, posting your website address would be helpful (put a space before and after each dot [.] if you wish to avoid a hyperlink to that address). Before Rating my Answer, if you have any Questions about or problems with the above information, please post a Request for Clarification, and I will see what I can do for you. Regards, aceresearcher

Hi, Phew...this is a toughie. I really don't like to have a researcher spend his or her time an not get paid, and yet there was no way that I could use Internet Explorer to download the pages one-by-one. The site has 14,000 files and is 825Mb in size, it would have taken forever. Also, with this method how would I get the images folders, Java files, Javascript files and so on? I wouldn't. Here's what I did do. I found that I could download from within FrontPage 2002 by going to MENU/OPEN which opens the website tree structure, and then right clicking which opens a dropdown menu, and then clicking on SendTo. I sucessfully downloaded the whole site this way, yep it took quite a while but we got the site. I also found that once I entered the site address in My Network Places that I could then download from Microsoft Explorer (not MSIE). So, aceresearcher, please tell me what you think? Thanks Jim
