Re: Big Revision Coming

Hi George:
The publish should bring everything over. What kind of files are the residue
files?

Thanks Kathleen, I think that went perfect. The publish did bring out
some case differences. Since the host is a Linux system, case is
important but isn't in FP so it did catch those on the import from the
web.
I haven't checked yet but there are quite a few residue files on the web
that are not referenced or used anywhere on the current site.
Did this process prunte all of the unreferenced links, files and images?

Thanks again, GWB

Do a "reverse publish" of your live site to a new subweb on your PC

Don't use import - it only brings over what you can see in your browser.

I have a bunch of changes to make to a web site and need to save the
existing site as is, starting with an exact copy of the existing site.

I have had issues in the past in trying to leave the site as published
and making a copy in order to make a new generation.

Since the best version of the existing is the published internet
version, I have tried to import the internet site but the links between
pages are always destroyed and the structure doesn't match the disk
version.

What is the most lead pipe cinch way of making a copy and either working
on the copy for a new version or saving the copy and working on the
original?

TIA
