Hi everybody

well i want to carry on a webpage that was started by somebody else. I have only used frontpage to make my webpages and then i took the html code and uploaded it to a www.freewebs.com server.

how do i carry on making a webpage when i don't have all the work on my local computer? is there anyway to download all of the web conent into dreamweaver or frontpage so that i can work on it?

any help woudl be much appreciated.
 
usually you would edit the copies locally and then ftp them to the server, or us another transfer technology, such as rsync.
 
ya that's what i wanna do, is edit the pages locally on my desktop, and then ftp them back to the server, but how do i get the material that is already uploaded on the server, to my desktop?

are there ftp programs that will let me see the file structure of the server? i.e. where the pictures are stored for teh webpage, what the names of the html pages are etc?

thanks a lot guys
 
say for example
if i give dreamweaver my ftp info, will it access the server and let me interact with what has already been uploaded?
 
Which version of Dreamweaver ?? Nevertheless you should be able to do a GET for the site in DW and it'll snag the whole works.
 
uhh i think we have dreamweaver 8 or studio 8 or something like that. i don't have a lot of experience with dreamweaver (ok none) so i'm not sure how to go about this. i'll try that GET as you mentionoed, and just play around with things

thanks
