I've not tried it but I would imagine that if you ftp it down to your local machine, ignoring the msgs that the extensions are empty - they would be if the server didn't have FP extensions. Then work with your local copy, if you use anything needing the extensions FP will create them. Then you can RE-PUBLISH (not ftp) up to the new url.

no guru here...but;
Wouldn't that work Steve?
