To download sites from HTTP and FTP servers
Using the Site Creation Wizard, you can import an entire website into GoLive, including every linked page that
branches out to multiple HTTP servers and every source file (such as images) referenced by the pages. Because large
sites can take a long time to download, you can restrict the number of page levels in the page-link hierarchy to
import.
Note:
If you already have an ongoing workgroup project that employs version control, and you wish to continue the
collaboration, connect to the existing site instead of using this procedure.
1
Choose File > New.
2
Select Site > Create Site.
3
Select Site From Existing Content, and click Next.
4
Select By Downloading Files From A Remote Server, and click Next.
5
Choose the server type (FTP or HTTP) from the Type Of Server menu.
6
If you are downloading from an HTTP server, specify the home page URL of the server in the URL box and then
do one of the following:
•
To download only the pages that are located in the same folder (or a subfolder) that contains the home page URL,
select Only Get Pages Under Same Path.
•
To download only those pages that are on the same server as the home page URL, select Stay On Same Server.
GoLive downloads from other servers any source files that are referenced by the pages it downloads, whether or
not this option is selected.
7
If you are downloading from an FTP server, enter the FTP server information. Click Advanced to set security and
passive mode options. (See “To set up access to a publish server” on page 440.)
8
Click Next, and then specify a name and location for the downloaded files. To specify how the new site will handle
encoding and case sensitivity checking in URLs, click Advanced. (See “Advanced URL handling options” on
page 148.)
9
Click Finish.
GoLive imports only the pages on the levels you specify and the source files for images and other objects on those
pages. GoLive converts any remaining page links that go to other levels into external URLs and lists them in the
External tab of the site window. After you create the site, you can individually download the pages from these
external URLs by choosing Download from a URL’s context menu.
To download a page from an external link
❖
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the external link in the External tab in the site window or in the
In & Out Links palette, and choose Download from the menu that appears.
When you download a page and its source files from an external link, GoLive adds the page and the referenced source
files (such as images) to a folder named NewFiles in the Files tab in the site window.
