Never import, always "Publish" from remote to local to restore a local copy.

Yes, when you import you only get the what would normal be view in a browser, so you loose the
navigation structure, themes structure, and server-side scripting code, etc.

...plus, the import function is quirky, and may not even get the other files
that normally would "qualify" for import.

select the files on the server, the "Publish" to local disk. Do not import the
web, publish it to the local machine.

Is this also true if you are downloading a site that doesn't use
themes, or an ISP without FP extensions?

No, it the case of no FP extensions, you have to open the site with a FTP application and download
to a folder on your HD, then open the folder in FP.

Publish at all times please

Thank you. If you can only get files TO the server by ftp, should you
be able to open the online site in FP and publish FROM the server?

I can't access the site myself and I am giving directions to someone
else, so I want to be sure that I don't tell her anything that won't
work and will be confusing.

Thank you for clearing that up. It looks as if files can be ftp'd with
Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer both open at the same time. IE
on the website and WE showing the web folder on the hard drive, then
drag and drop the files from the website (which is just a
sub-directory on the ISP's server).

No, you can not open the site on a remote server unless the server has the FP extensions, then you
would be able to publish.
