Does anyone know how to automatically download ALL the
webpages within a domain name.
Can this be done in Frontpage or is there some other
software for it?
Thanks

Yes ,
Open FrontPage and go to:
File | Open Web | http:// your domain name | USER NAME | PASSWORD |

Thanks, but it didn't seem to work
I take it this only works if the FrontPage extensions have
been installed?

With FrontPage, you can use the Import utility to do this, if you are not
the owner of the site. It works just like a browser downloading pages, but
saves the pages and folder structure of the remote site into a local web. Of
course, no matter what software you use to download a site in this way (not
publishing, but making HTTP requests for pages as a browser would), will not
be able to download ASP and other dynaimcally-generated pages, but only the
HTML that they generate.

So how would I overcome this problem? I frequently get "the wizard
was unable to create the folder". I typically import an entire site,
to enable me to develop a price quote on maintenance work. I want to
be sure that I have the site and all of its files in their entirety,
to avoid any "surprises".

Ask the client for the login information for the site.

If the site is hosted on a FP enabled server, then you can open it directly
in FP and then publish to your local machine if you want.

If the site is hosted on a non-FP enabled server, then use a FTP application
to download the site to a folder on your HD, then open this folder in FP.

Without login information, you will never be able to have access to all of
the content, just what a browser sees.

1. Databases and Database Connections Strings.
2. Actual ASP, PHP, CGI-Perl, CFM scripting source code.
3. Actual FP Shared Border and FP Include Page files.
4. Actual Server-Side Include files.
5. FP Theme Configuration Files.
6. FP Navigation Structure Configuration Files.
7. Photo/Images/Documents not directly displayed on the home page either or
other pages linked to the home page.
8. Pages created by querying a database, if user input is required.
9. Content requiring a login to access.
etc.

YIPES....definitely candidates for additional maintenance costs.
Thanks for your time and help.
