Publish Locally ?

[zeekstern]

Is there a way to publish (or save) a site to your local hard drive?
I want to have my site on my hard drive for backup purposes as well as testing. When I am done, I can use my own FTP program to transfer the site to my web host.

I tried Save and Save as, and it only saves it to the default location, Docs & Settings->username->webeasy7 etc.
I tried changing it to a folder I created but it never ends up there.

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks,
Zeek

Thanks for the reply WebMonkey.
When I tried using Export to html, I get this message:
"Possible conflict with the Index Page of the Web Site Nature.
Note: Only one Web site in the same folder may have an index page."

It is trying to save it to:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Web Easy\Html\Album1

I changed the above default to:
C:\www\web7 samples\Active-Business(Bisque) and have the index.htm selection selected and that is when I get the above error.

The other options under File are:
Save
Save AS
Import from html
Export to html

The Save AS has these options: Document, Template, Archive Backup, and Style Template.
When I use the Save AS-Document, it created:
Active_Business_Bisque.ALB, Active_Business_Bisque.JPG

Geez, all I want to do is save a basic site that has the index.htm, css styles and the pages etc that a normal site has. Shouldn't be that difficult

As long as there is only one index.html per folder, you can dismiss that shout.
don't care about it. just press go.

Thank Supa. I was concerned about messing up the program by overwriting something. It was mentioning Web Site Natural, which I did not create or know anything about

I went ahead and saved it and it did create the index.htm file in the folder I wanted it to.

Thanks again!!
