    How to download an entire site? (images, pages, everything)

    I have a customer who has lost their username/password for their current host. They want to move over to my services, but they have no way to get their pages.

    It's all just html and gif/jpeg's, so I'm looking for some kind of utility that can whip through a site and download all the pages/images to my computer.

    Presto.. instant copy of the website.. and the customer can close their old account.

    Anyone?

    Thanks!

    If someone was to make a program to do that, they could rip MSN.com off.

    What they need to do is contact their web host and provide the information to prove THAT it is their account that they lost their username and pass for. Ex, address, first/last digits of CC they used to pay.

    You mean something like WebReaper?
    There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

    Depending on how many pages to the site, you may just need to use IE - File - Save As... - Web Page complete.

    Just do that on each page.

    I use HTTP WEAZEL for my clients. The program completely mirrors an entire website and is extremely fast and simple to use.
