Thanks in advance.

To mirror any web, all it needs is to be put somewhere else in the exact state. HTH Dan _____________________________ (in reply to re_quist)

The site has been built over a number of years... and to upload the site to another server is very difficult because of speed constraints. Maybe the client can just upload the files that use the extensions, and the rest I can ftp? Sure would be nice if there was a way to "hot copy" a whole FP site. (in reply to Giomanach)

But to mirror the site you will need a copy of it as it is on the server currently. And the you have two options for that: 1) Ask the host to back it up, and send it to you via mail on CD/DVD 2) Publish down to your HDD/FTP the files But, quote: Maybe the client can just upload the files that use the extensions, and the rest I can ftp? Will work just fine Dan _____________________________ (in reply to re_quist)

If you have FrontPage Server Extensions and pages reliant on them, that would be fraught with danger. Using ftp is well known for corrupting FPSE. Publishing from FP is the only safe method. _____________________________ Kitka It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. (in reply to re_quist)

Else it will not work. I use cPanel on my servers, I can simply create a FULL backup of one site, then upload it later on, replacing all the other files, and it will function just as if I never did anything. The best way to do this is server side. FTP can cause issues, but it might work. (I can't see why it would not work if the published files are being transfered). Ask the client's current host if they can create a backup. Then download the backup, then ftp the backup to the new site, then unzip the backup into the root dir of the new site. It all depends how good your host/his host is. If they suck, you could possibly be spending a LOT of time doing this. If you have a very good host, it could take all of about 2 minutes of work, rest would be waiting for downloads/uploads. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to Kitka)

On this site I have this for the server path: /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/all_the_FP_stuff and this for the web path: /all_the_FP_stuff I presume you mean the last one when you say "exact same path." I should be able to make this work... maybe even with rsync. I'll post my findings here once I get a solution. (in reply to BobbyDouglas)

This is because FP stores your username/domain (which is whatever the path is) inside of its configuration files. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to re_quist)
