Copy Entire Website (the RIGHT way)

Any suggestions or downloads for an editor like this?

You can use a simple Search & Replace function from Notepad++ or Bluefish.
Just open all files in bluefish(those will be tabbed) and do a search and replace on all of them. Works for me.
 
Just wondering if we can get the programming code (PHP/.Net etc) in this way or these programs just give us the processed version (which the engines inside webserver process and give us the actual page with no programming only the final result)
 
Guys, this seems like a simple request of something that is MUCH needed for anyone trying to replicate a website and spin the content inside that site.

How do I copy a website then strip it of its footprints (image names, css classes/styles etc.)

I found this in another request on BHW, but this is exactly what I want to do:

1. rename images and update the CSS/html/php whit the new image names
2. rename <div class=(footprints) and update the CSS file whit new "prints"

I would imagine a lot of people would want to be able to take one site, copy it, then spin articles inside it and not have to worry about Google seeing it as duplicate. Is there any way to do this QUICKLY through some sort of batch script?


I've been looking for the past several hours and could not find anything that does this, and I am extremely surprised.




Hoping to hear from you on this - Did you find a solution?
 
If it has server side scripting you're screwed and you're looking for something beyond unethical, something illegal. You'd have to have authorized access to do so otherwise.

I'd presume you could just save through the browser and view pages for offline viewing later, and copy it from your hdd from there. That'd be faster than clicking "Save As" on everything, otherwise I have no further suggestions on how to rip it.

Again, if you're just looking for output content\client side and not any server side scripting, I'm sure it would be easy enough, I just figured I'd shoot it out there about Offline Browsing for any web browser I've seen for a non-mobile os.
 
Try Website Ripper Copier.
It's an all-purpose, high-speed tool to save or grab an enormous amount of Web site data.

I was searching the net regarding this topic, 'Copying entire website' and found HTTrack. I was wondering whether using this software would be safe or not. Next, I found this thread. And as the member robertodelgato , Choronzon, netfish, Zeecho mentioned I used HTTrack and WHAO, I never be so surprised. It downloaded a website (not so big) without any errors. Not 'any', but there were only 8 errors in 509 links, though those are 404 errors. Now the entire site is sitting in my hard disk and working flawlessly. Superb application. I could not resist myself to thank these members and the member who created this thread, bobvance2006. I think, I have found a place where I might my answers regarding web, hosting and designing. Thanks BlackHatWorld. :D
