In the Remotes Web Site View - Remotes Web Site Properties, after selecting File System are you browsing to or entering an existing
folder (say C:\MyWeb) on your PC
And when done publishing select the Open your Remote site in FP link
Run a Tool Recalculate Hyperlinks
- if the files are still not visible try switching views (to Reports and back to Folders)

| I'm back and still confused!
|
| I have repeatedly followed the advise I received here (even bought FP
| Inside Out and Step by Step) and still can't seem to get my site
| published back to my computer.
|
| 1-I created a new blank web
| 2-I use FP2003 to open the internet site with
http://mysite.net and all
| the folders and pages are listed.
| 3-I go to File>Publish site - set "remote server type" to "File System"
| as that is all that it will allow - make sure that I'm publishing all
| pages - and hit publish.
|
| All that is brought over are the file folder icons
| ("_borders","_disk2", "images" etc) which seem to contain nothing. On
| my server site I can see the listing of the multitude of pages that the
| website contains - but they won't publish back to my computer.
|
| What in the world am I missing?
