Downloading(import) site from server to computer!!!!!

[Chris Gormont]

Hello, in the past when I purchased FrontPage 2002. I
did not have any problems downloading or importing my web
site from Angelfire. Now, I had to reinstall it after
problems with computer. When I go to import, it does not
work. I notice that is trying to import index.htm, but
my pages on my web site have the extention .html. Am I
doing something wrong?

If your host supports the FrontPage Server Extensions, the
correct procedure is to open the hosted site directly in
FrontPage, and then publish it to the local location.

If teh host doesn't, then you should use an ftp:// URL to
open the hosted site in a Windows Explorer window, and
drag the whole site to an empty folder on your disk.
