For some reason, I can't remember the procedure to "publish" a normally
FTP'd web on my computer to my external drive on my computer. Do we actually
use the Publish command?
 
May I clarify? I will be using it as a backup should the local web
corrupts: to send back to the My Webs folder if need be.

: No,
: You publish it as a disk based web.

5tulips,

I am sure that what Steve said would work, i.e. publish from one local disk
to another external disk

But what I do with my local disk copy is just use Windows Explorer to copy
it.

I have the folder "myweb" which contains all the files and subfolders for
the website. I also have a folder "myweb_copy"

I simply open "myweb", select all, then ctrl-C. I then select "myweb_copy
and ctrl-V. Of course after the first copy, many files and folders will be
the same, so you can just yes to the overwrite prompt. This sledgehammer
cracks the nut quite well.

My only reservation is whether there are any hidden files/folders, but even
then I seem to recall that Windows tells you, e.g.
"This folder contains 3 hidden files
If you want to select these files as well,
enable viewing of hidden files in the Folder Options control panel"
 
Use File->Publish Site (or Publish Web) and select a file system
location, and browse to the folder on your external hard drive. (the
exact procedure depends on the version of FrontPage)
