The live/remote server must have the FP extensions, if so you would open the site directly from FP
via File Menu | Open Web / Site and enter the URL in the format of http://www.yourdomain.com then
enter your login info, then click Ok, then click Open, then you would use File Menu | Publish Web /
Site and enter c:\mywebsite

If the live/remote server doesn't have the extensions, then you need to open it in a FTP application
and download it to c:\mywebsite, then open c:\mywebsite from FP and let FP make it a web.
