Many ftp apps should do the trick for you. They allow you to d/l entire (or partial) directory structures intact. It's just a matter of what you highlight to transfer

CuteFTP is what I use.

An open source implementation of CuteFTP is FileZilla.

Thanks for the replys

i tried typing my website address into FileZilla but it said http:// is an invalid syntax

iAvalance · 09-18-2003, 08:04 AM

ah... yeah, right.
Dunno if CuteFTP does do that for you. FileZilla is an FTP client, so it doesn't handle the HTTP protocol.

Cute FTP doesn't either

Looks like you'll need the ftp address for it. Is there any ftp information on your current host's support pages?

iAvalance · 09-18-2003, 01:57 PM

How big is your website? You can easily write a webcrawler, but if it aren't sooo much pages, then why would you do so much work...

I guess your current host is one that ships a webbased tool for uploading/editting your pages?

Colin-uk · 09-18-2003, 05:20 PM

i dont have any ftp information for my site the host doesnt support it bcos its a free account.

my website s about 10MB, most of itis html/images/flash
so what can i use if i cant use ftp?

I'm guessing anything outside of file transfer protocol would download all the ads and tags of your free host. Even if you were to manually 'right click>choose view source>save to notpad'...you'll get all your hosts htm tags (ie: ads) where you'll have to edit before loading 'em pages to a new host. Besides, if they weren't ftp loaded, then you created the pages in their editor, right? If you save the pages to 'offline viewing' you will get all the images during the save, but you'll still need to edit out the host tags from the htm pages and delete ad images...

thanks for the reply how do i save the pages for 'offline viewing'

click file > choose 'save as'

Colin-uk · 09-19-2003, 07:33 PM

is there a way to download all the pages at once? it wud take me forever to do each page seperatly lol

thanks for the help btw

Contact your website host and inquire about accessing the directory of your pages for download. They can tell you wht directory transfer access is available for their users.

iAvalance · 09-20-2003, 04:59 AM

Hey didn't you start this thread with that you had a crawling proggie? Why don't you add that adserver host to your hostsfile as 127.0.0.1 so it won't be able to get the ads?
That way you get your whole website with your crawler, without the ads...

Colin-uk · 09-20-2003, 05:28 AM

good idea iAvalance but i dont know the ip/web-address of the adserver.
i,ll try contacting my host and asking about downloading it
