Hi,
I am a bit of a novice, so please have patience!
I use SmartFTP to access my site and i regularly make a back up of all the folders in there.
Recently I made a huge mistake in the db and the whole site was peppererd with errors. After realising the only way was to re-install a previous working copy, I uploaded my back up, but on completion it would not work because ../../members_functions/index.asp wasn't found.
After taking a look, I noticed that it had only copied half the folder contents of one particular folder ( the rest had been copied in full ).
I have been trying to download the entire site ( for what its worth now ! ) but it still only copies half the contents of this one folder.
Can anyone tell me the proper procedure(s) to make a sucessful back up of all the contents without doing each file/folder one at a time. Up to that point, i was drag dropping my folders to my desktop.
I would be really grateful of any help you can give.
