Big Revision Coming

| 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

| Do a "reverse publish" of your live site to a new subweb on your PC
http://www.outfront.net/tutorials_0...rse-publish.htm
Don't use import - it only brings over what you can see in your browser.

| 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

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

| These are web pages that are no longer in use, images, etc that were in
previous versions.
This site has been an ongoing development for several years and started as
the simple 'one-pager' just to give exposure, phone numbers and product
photos and has morphed into 20 pages linked three deep.
The original was started with the providers online web publishing tools,
then to FP2000 and then (and now) FP2003.
I would just like to clean up all the residue but I don't wnat to remove
something that is used.
TIA, GWB

| Hi George:
Try doing the Publish again, and this time tick the checkbox that says
Publish All Pages. It *should* bring everything over.

| Thanks Kathleen, the original instructions brought everything over, I was
just looking to get rid of the stuff both at the site and on my system that
is no longer used.
My ISP charges by storage used and I have several fairly large WMV files in
different resolutions that are no longer used and I wanted to find a way to
locate all unused links, pages videos and images.
Thanks

You can start with View > Reports > Problems > Unlinked files but if you
have any files that are called by a script they won't appear on the report.
