A new feature that is in WebEasy 5 allows you to import HTML pages.  This is very handy if you lost your website data, and need to import it.  Below are the procedures for downloading your website data off our servers, and then importing it in WebEasy.

Downloading your website

1. On your computer, press Start -> Run
2. Type in "explorer.exe ftp://domain.com" (without the quotes)

Note: For domain.com, you will need to enter the name and extension of your website.

3. Press OK
4. When prompted, enter your username and password, as shown below:

5. Press Log On
6. Double-click the httpdocs folder

Note: If you do not see the httpdocs folder, double-click the wwwroot folder.

7. From the menu bar, go to Edit -> Select All

This will highlight all the files.

8. From the menu bar, go to Edit -> Copy
9. Open My Computer, navigate to the folder you want to download your website data to

Importing your website in WebEasy

1. Open WebEasy
2. From the menu bar, go to File -> New -> Import Website...
3. On the cue card, select I wish to continue
4. Using Look In drop-down menu, navigate to the folder that contains your website files

5. Double-click the folder (if there is one)

6. Double-click the file that contains the name of your package.  For example, if you have built your website with a package name called "website", you would see the following files:

index.htm
website.htm
website_001.htm
website_002.htm
website_003.htm
etc.

You will need to select the "website.htm" file, or the equivalent to your package name

Note: If you were unable to import your website, try selecting a different file, such as "website_001.htm" or "website_002.html".

This will import your entire website.

Note: When you are finished importing your website, you will need to spend some time in repositioning the items on your pages in Web Easy.  The software does not get everything exactly how you had it on your original site.

Website Recovery

Once you import your website, you will need to perform a website recovery which will add your website name to the publisher so you can upload to us.  Click the link below for instructions on how to do this.
