Go to the site and do a SAVE AS on the page… if you use IE… that will grab the html, pics, css, ect….
And the same for every page on the site I presume? I’d have thought there’d be a quicker way.
Maybe I should just leave it where it is at ibuilt, I’m starting to get the hang of it – but is it hosted in the US? If so I’ll have to leave anyway.
I use a program called WinHTTrack Website Copier for tasks such as this. It’s freeware and is available at http://www.httrack.com.
You can set the parameters to include/exclude any file types and set mirror depth for whatever you need.
Sounds good – what’s mirror depth?
Maybe I’m missing something, but why not use an FTP utility?
I don’t see any download options in the ibuilt website manager.
httrack downloaded the site but it doesn’t seem right somehow – it’s left traces of itself all over the pages and it’s possible google could punish that as content theft. I don’t want to download a mirrored site – it’s the exact same domain and everything, just a swift download and upload will do fine! But is it that simple?
Use an FTP client, such as smart ftp. Quick download and upload.
Filezilla is the one I use.
Usually you use your domain name as username and your domain login password as the password for the ftp client setting.
The WinHTTrack program leaves a comment tag at the top and bottom of each page. I just remove them when I move sites from one server to another. Being in the hosting business for 7 years, I have found this to be the easiest method when someone switches their hosting to me.
Mirror depth= depth of internal/external links it will follow and download along with the site. I usually set it to 2 max, otherwise it will pull whole directories from other sites when all you really want is 1 link or banner
Well guess what – I got an email from ibuilt support saying it was ILLEGAL to sell any aspect of the site, let alone move it to another host, so I guess I’m stuck with it. I’m not sure what to think at this point…
I’ve managed to gain ftp access but everything is empty – it is only set for upload! How can they do this? How can I not be able to see the files that are there? I use cuteftp.
he owl
seems very unlickely,
did you check all the folders?
go up and down the treeor upload a script with wich you can download?
(idea from my son)btw, i feel with you
i finalle got a website off, from yahoo, a nightmare, not talking abot the @#$% coding….
must rebuild it…..Yes, it’s very bizarre indeed. The ftp site info they give must not be the genuine site but a go between where you upload and then its transfered to the real directory/server so that’s why there’s nothing there. That’s my guess anyway I really am not comfortable with this technical stuff!
we are pretty sure a php script as said above must exist
but we arent very technical either
