Urgent Advise Needed Plz!

[steven123]

I think I may have made a very major mistake with my web site! :o(
I thought id clean up my pc + delete loads of pictures ect from “my documents” (I sent them 2 the recycle bin which ive now emtied)
Since doing so my website on my pc which took me months and months 2 develop has all its photos and background picture ect ect ect gone!!!
I have now just checked out all the hyper links within my website and it seems that all the pictures ect which were on my site but are now gone were linked 2 the photos in “my documents” which ive deleted!
It seems that as ive deleted the pictures from “my documents” ive also unknowingly deleted them from my website aswell !!!


My site took me months and months of hard work 2 create via adding all these pictures which are now gone how can I get all the pictures back onto my site?
The website is up and running ok on the internet but I need 2 change it and then republish it but as all the pictures are not on my pc anymore, it would be republished without em!!!
Id there a way for me to somehow download the website which is on the internet, in its entirety along with all the photos and background pictures ect ect ect and copy/save it back 2 my pc? If so how?
I do of course have my user name and password so I can log into my website.

I did of course try and make a back up copy of my site before I had this problem of all the pictures going misiiing and tried 2 save it onto a cd but I was unable to. It wouldent copy/save properly as a lot of the hyperlinks ect ect ect wouldent copy and save!!!!

HELP PLEASE!!!

Also if I do manage 2 get the site copyied back onto my pc how do I copy/save the website FULLY AND IN ITS ENTIREY ONTO A CD ? (I have a dvd re-writer on my other pc.)
There surley has 2 be a downloadable utility which would allow me 2 do this?

Log on to your FTP server, copy all files to a folder on your desktop, done...?

Not exactly a disaster...

Thats fine assuming its how we understand it to be - your post is a bit garbled at times steven123.

Lets just clarify. Are all the images still available online (ie from your webhost). If they are just download them back to your computer as said and then change your site - also backup your work :rolleyes:.

If not then a bit more effort is needed and recovery software etc.

What LSG said.

If they aren't backed up, stop using the HDD they were on to avoid overwriting the actual files, then run a recovery program (+9001 for GetDataBack, it costs money but works very well)

[steven123]

Thanks for the advice.

Ive now logged onto my server and downloaded all the files and saved em onto my desktop and on2 a cd, but how do i get all the files back onto my site and into the exact place that they use 2 in?
What option do i have 2 do in frontpage in order to get em all back onto my site?

Next time copy them instead of downloading them.
I havent used front page in years but it used to be under "File" then "Publish" IIRC.
Of course that is if your host has the front page extensions.

[steven123]

Im not sure if my host has frontpage exstentions or not! I assume they have coz the site was done using frontpage and it use to work perfectly!

Once ive copied the webdocs from my server were do i copy them to? ive copied em into a page on the site i think there suposed to go into a new folder instaed of a page but they wont seem to go into a new folder!!!

The problem i now have is republishin the site! it wont republish!
I did get a message sayin nera the end of republishiing the site saying about my e-mail page permission denied so ive deleted the e-mail page but noe get a message sayin 550 fphover.class permission denied and it goes back to the republish prompt!!!

Any ideas whats going on here?

Oh and no the photos and pages ect are no on the internet as the site appears now, the only thing ive got on the internet is the home page but the hover buttons now dont work which linked to the other pages and photos ect!
