How to download a webpage?

The company that hosts my website has changed their templates and I need to edit my website. To edit it through their templates I'd lose my design because they've changed their templates drastically since I first created my site. I love my website's design and don't want to lose it; I only want to change a little of the text and add a few pages to it. I no longer have access to the original files or design code for my website but I was told by the host's support team that I can download my site, bring it into Dreamweaver, and upload it to an FTP. I know I can download the pictures by simply right click --%26gt; save image but there must be a better way to download my site; do I really have to save it image by image or can I download the whole thing and import it into Dreamweaver? Can I download my layout and use it as a Dreamweaver template?





I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 if that helps.





Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Download Filezilla - http://filezilla-project.org/download.ph...





Put in your site's ftp address, login and password. Connect to your site.





Download the entire folder structure of the site. (It's like Windows Explorer in 2 panel mode - your computer on the left, your site on the right.) Modify the files you want to modify, leaving them in the folders they were in. Upload the modified files back to your site - to the folders they're in on your computer. (You should always have the latest version of your site on your computer, and on a flash drive or CD or some other 2nd backup medium.)





Connect to your site with your browser and you should see your modified site.





BTW, you don't need Dreamweaver. If that's what you usually use, use it, but don't buy it just to modify your site. NVU - http://www.nvu.com/ - is probably all you need, and it's free.

I'm not sure this will help you with Dreamweaver, but try it out. I generally click on the "File" option at the top left corner of the address bar in my browser and choose "save as" from the option list. Then, I indicate where to save my webpage. What I always get from this method (i'm a 'Firefox' user) once in the destination folder is my webpage link and a folder containing all the constituent elements of that webpage. Maybe these are the elements you want to 'pimp' with your Dreamweaver. I hope it works! if not, sorry.

It will save two files - the index and another that will work together to recreate the webpage if you open it with a web browser. Hope it helps
