How do i save an entire website intact ?

[oldman420]

i want to update my site but the original copy i have is way outdated.
How can i make a local backup of my site so i can work on it locally and publish when ready?

I hope this is the right place for this as i saw no webmasters catagory

FTP in and download your files?

Or are you using a content management package?

I mean to publish it localy so you can work on it sudo-live.

Are you using FrontPage? If so, you should be able to reverse publish

i use front page and there is no support from our provider i'm lucky to get Front Page Extensions.

I tried that and it hung.any hints?

Normally I would try a few more times, if that doesn't work out than I would re-install the FP extensions. Optionally, you could get a website ripping program and rip the site, or connect via FTP and download all of the content than re-publish
