Can i have a few examples of code that would work to down load complete websites onto a hard drive ? I was asked by a friend, and frankly this is not my domain. ( i am a vb and c++ girl content with making games and databases) I know the program is not going to be used for illigal purposes, or i wouldn't let him have the code,
Thanks
I assume you mean all the server side code, and not just the delivered HTML pages?
Well, this would involve you getting FTP access to the site first. We developers are not likely to give you that permission, unless you can offer us a very good reason.
If you want only the HTML content, images etc for the complete site, Then in IE, select 'Add to Favorites' from the Favorites menu, Then select the 'Make Available Offline' check box, Click the 'Customize' button and follow the instructions to the number of page levels required......
Voila!
Most software designed to do this use Spiders to download webpages. Use something like winsok to connect to the pages 'root' or index file and use clever code to sniff out all the links in the page and downloads the content as it goes.
I think I've seen examples at www.planetsourcecode.com .
