[LINK] RFI: Mirroring Complete Web-Sites?

[Peter Bowditch]

I use http://www.httrack.com

Digs right down, but try it on something small first to see how it builds 
the directory structure.

> I need to urgently mirror a web-site, which is about to disappear

> I ought to know about things like this, but I don't
> (don't criticise, but assume bumbling Rogerish incompetencies).
> 
> I can't get to a database that's in behind the site, but there's a 
> great deal of HTML that's well worth rescuing.
> 
> I'm a mere user / member of the public, and have no ftp privileges, 
> and my first attempts led nowhere (i.e. timed out).
> 
> In any case, can an anonymous ftp user do a recursive download?
> 
> Is there an easy way to do a bulk download within a browser?
> 
> I frequently mirror individual pages in Firefox 3.0.19, using
> File / Save Page As ... / Web Page Complete
> 
> But I don't see a way to get it to follow links or
> directory-structures.
