I'm looking for software (hopefully freeware) that will allow me to download all pages of a web site for archiving purposes. Any ideas?

there was a software company at the london mac expo that did just that , but i can not remember what it was called or the company name.

it was able to download a full website and would make changes as the site was updated in the background.

it looked real good

Using dreamweaver as my design tool, I simply switch to remote view and GET the entire site. If you PUT an empty folder, you could empty your site, so dont do that!!!

If you are archiving, create a new site using the assistant but designate your backup folder as the local folder - ignore the warnings that it doesnt match. When you are finished the local folder is empty, as long as you set up the ftp info the same, follow my above instruction and it will duplicate the entire site, hidden files and all.
