i have just begun working on our business websites on my own. the website that I am currently working on was designed and posted for us by someone else because we didn't have Macromedia Dreamweaver. Now that I have the program installed and I have learned the basics I don't know how to get the website downloaded to my computer. I have all the connection information but everytime i try to connect, it finds the site but says that Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The select newer and synchronize commands will not be available. Can anyone help me get started????

forget all about dreamweaver for doing this, it sucks at it in my opinion.

you need an FTP client. such as:

cuteFTP
FlashFXP
WS FTP

post back if you need any more help

<font face='Arial'></font id='Arial'>I may suggest Krystall FTP Pro 2.3. It's very easy to use and secure. It's just a recomendation. I'm sure Chris knows a "little bit" more than me! ha!. Obey!!!
