Be Excellent To Each Other

Is there a tool that will crawl all of a website and make a copy of it on a local drive? Basically, nab the HTML, plus any external CSS, Javascript files and images?

For completely legitimate reasons - I'm needing to replicate a site locally that lives in a hosted CMS.

You've immediately got a problem - the CMS DB will control most of the site structure.

Er, so?

Don't care if it ends up as a flat directory TBH. It is about 30 pages, and I don't really want to View Source it all.

Ooh, good point. Er.

Nope, as you were. Carry on.

Anyway, IE6 used to do it (you used to be able to save web pages [x] number of links deep), but it looks like IE7 doesn't.
I've not used any specific software, but I think Gaywood has.

Unix/Linux/Mac has wget (maybe the vista terminal has a version too?).

I've never got it to work properly, but its job is to do that.

Yes, wget would be my port of call too. Windows GUI version: http://www.jensroesner.de/wgetgui/. Warning: it has an interface only a mother could love.

OK, playing with that now.

And I thought *I* was bad at interface design.

Brilliant, isn't it? It's the command line core wget client (which has command line flags spanning almost every letter of the alphabet), remixed and splattered at what looks like a VB control.

WinHTTrack from http://www.httrack.com/ does everything you need.

If i were to want to do it, and then remove it from a server, what would have to be done?

Bit confused, mate. Do you run the website?

Please do not pick at the hive brain.

Yes.

EDIT: Nevermind, alternative solution came to mind.

Well then, use one of the programs above and then replace the landing page with something else, and rename the folder the old website sat in.
Unfortunately the website will still exist because for some reason search engines are allowed to carry on with the blatantly illegal practice of copying all your stuff and storing it elsewhere, so you'd have to talk to them, too.
Here is Google's page, for instance.

Cheers, boss. Much obliged.

In the past i've used "Teleport pro" to download and mirror a whole website locally

I'm sure it used to be a shareware type program but looks like its now commercial although you can get a demo
