I mistakenly deleted my web site off my computer. Is there a way to get it
from my ISP's server back onto my computer so I don't have to redo all my
work (sort of like a reverse "publish web")?

Thanks for any help.

I use the tool "sitecopy" in Linux to automatically publish my web sites
(all developed in FP). I notice that it has a Windows version. You
might want to give it a try. Google on "sitecopy" for source.

An alternative that involves no new software on your computer is to use
ftp to connect to the web server and "get" the files. Read the help
for the ftp command on your computer to learn how to do that. Basically
you change into each directory with the "cd" command, and then do a
"mget *" to get all the files. More manual work than with sitecopy, but
might be easier for you.

Your choice.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

If your online site has the FP Server Extensions, then just open the online one in FP using File Open Web/Site (enter
http://www.yoursitename.com/) and then File Publish (All) it back to a top level folder (say C:\MyWeb) on your PC
