Hi !,
I have just had to reformat my PC.
I have re-installed FrontPage 2000.
However, I am now only able to update my site "live" (I have the login
details).
I wondered if I could download the site locally to my Hard disk as
currently I only have an old backup of the original site.
All help appreciated

Ah ha !!! Found it !!!
Last Paragraph answers the original question (copied from

FrontPage Live
=============
There are two ways to work in FrontPage. I’m on version 2000…
1. Working on a “disk based web”. This means that you are working from your
hard drive. Once the web is ready to be launched, you Publish. To Publish a
web, press the fourth button over from the left (the one with the flying
pages) Watch the next procedure carefully. It should say
“
http://yourwebname.co..", not ftp://. If you have to use FTP, then the
extensions are not installed or not working .
2. Working on a “server-based web”. This means that you have a direct
connection to a web server that has the FrontPage extensions set-up for your
web. This is what people are talking about when they say editing the web
“live”. Changes to the web take effect immediately upon saving.
To work on a web “live”. Go to File—Open Web… In the dialog box near the
bottom is the line that says “Folder name: ” type your URL here, like this;
http://www.nnnnnn.com, where nnnnn is your domain name. If the extensions
are working then you get asked for user name and password...
Some key points
It is vastly easier to set up forms using the server based web. This
includes the search, discussion, and guestbook components
It has been stated that the site will be slower while you author against the
server (server based). I doubt that any testing has been done regarding the
speed of the site while someone is authoring against the server (server
based), compared to the speed while the site is being published (disk based)
*If you only author against the server you will have to ensure that your
local (disk based) site is in sync, and to date, that has to be done
manually. This can be achieved by publishing from the server to your PC
(publish backwards)*
