Copy Website from Server

[ashevrin]

I am a new user of discountasp and made the grave error of editing my website at the server location. How do I copy the site to my local machine?

Are you using Visual Studio? (Even the express versions will count.)

If so, you can use the Copy Website feature to copy the remote files back to your local machine.
All the best,

I have seen times where the transfer would fail if the directory structure differed.


Make a backup of what you have on your local system then remove all the files from the project folders.


Once you have the empty folders and they mirror the remote folders use the Copy Website feature.


VS should allow you to bring your remote files in, if not you may have a firewall issue.


Salute,

Why dont you Ftp using an ftp client or IE ? Re-creating directory stucture everytime would be a hassle.

I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003. I tried to use the Copy feature to copy the entire web which is how I posted it to discountasp, but each location I tried to save in on my local machine gave me an error. I tried to copy to http://localhost and then got the error that the website would not run. Any suggestions?
