RE Front Page 2003: download a website to study it

B

Bert Delgado

I think to remember that the Front Page 2003 manual indicates how to download
a website to my hard disc in order to study it.

I do not seem to be able to find the answer. What steps are required to go
to a website and download the whole think to my hard disc?

Thanks for info

Open the site in FrontPage and choose File, Publish and for the location
pick a folder on your Hard Drive (such as C:\MyWebName) or, if you have
Windows XP Pro and installed Internet Information Server (from Control
Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components) you can publish to
http://localhost/webname

IIS is a web server that comes with XP Pro so if you do have IIS installed
then you should publish to localhost so you can test out all the features,
such as things that require the FrontPage Extesnions..

If it's not one you own:

Open FP
File | Import, then follow the steps but make sure you name it something or
you may end up dumping it into one of your own websites on your hd.

You'll get most of it this way - enough to see how stuff is done.

And you can use View Source in IE to copy and paste the code into FP Code
View to see how a page is done or do a File, Save As to save the page and
all graphics. But, as Rob said, you'll only get code that's not
server-side. For example, if the site uses ASP coding then you won't see
that, only the HTML it generated.
