Getting back old Website

archie_BD

This is probably a very stupid question but I have no idea what i'm doing so i'll ask anyway.

I have an old old website I put up six years ago when I was in school using frontpage (i think). Its still up on the web but two computers later I have nothing left of it on my computer and I have no idea how to access it.

It was put up on space provided by esatclear.ie but they no longer exist so I can't ask for their help. I think I can probably work out the username/password for the website but its been so long since i messed with web publishing I can't even remember how to log on to the server.

Do i need to get frontpage or some other program? What exactly do I need to know to get access to the site and edit it? Any help, preferably very basic would be much appreciated!

Is the website accessible from a browser?
If so you can simply save the items via the browser (File, Save As should get most stuff).
If not, I'd say you are out luck.

Since it is 6 years old, is there really stuff there you want/need?

I assume that you have no ftp access so if you really need the site contents try using a site downloader like WinHTTrack.

wget -m can handy for this, if you have access to a Linux/BSD box

Try Warrick: a command-line utility for reconstructing or recovering a website when a back-up is not available.
