Downloading Everything

I had all my database and a copy of all the scripts i have on my site on my old computer which had an unfortunate accident and is now unsalvagable. I know how to download my database but can i download all the scripts too? copying and pasting over 50 scripts sounds time consuming.

Please explain something. Where are the scripts currently ? On a computer in a single folder ? On your website ?

sorry for the delay in replying, the scripts are currently on astahost server and are functioning,so they are on my website

Does that mean that your problem is now solved ?
Or does your question mean that you ask how to download all your scripts from your website on astahost to your new computer ?

The best way is to use a ftp client, I suggest portable FileZilla, you find it here : http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/filezilla_portable
Using Filezilla, you connect to yoursite.astahost.com with your cpanel name and password.
You will see two boxes, the right one shows your PC disks, the left one shows the astahost disks. You navigate to the astahost folder where your scripts are, and you right click "download" and it will bring all the files in the folder, including sub folders.
You can also use FileZilla in order to upload new scripts to a new folder on astahost server, when creating new programs.
Hope this helped.

===========
P.S. By the way, you can also use astahost cpanel in order to do smart things.
Start the cpanel file manager.
Select the folder containing all your files at astahost, and choose "Compress". This will create a zip file which has all your scripts. Then use the select the just created .zip file, and click "Download" (do not click "Delete"...)

i like adobe dreamweaver for most of my website work, enables you to keep a constant back up up your site and preview changes in a browser before you upload

I am not sure if Asta supports SSH anymore, but that could easily be the option you were looking for.

In short, when you create an SSH connection with eg. putty (google putty.exe), you can enter commands to create a zip-file (or tarball if you use linux). Then it's all one file



After that, you can use an ftp-client to download said file.

As I already said here http://www.astahost.com/index.php?s=&s...st&p=133930
(a couple of lines above)
you don't need a ssh connection in order to zip files, you can do it from your astahost cpanel.
