How to get the source code of a website

I recently joined a company and was told to maintain the company's website
written in Frontpage.  The problem is they don't have the source code of the
website because the person maintaining the web was quit.  Is there any method
to download the source code?

Assuming you have the login information for the remote site, you would just
connect to it in Frontpage and publish the files to your local drive.

If you can access the web site with FP just use the remote to local and it
will load the site back to you. You can also use the web site FTP to just
transfer the files. If you call your web site they can explain to you how to
get access to the site. I use GO DADDY and when I called them they spoon
feed me how to do it.

What they said

Of course, another option is use an FTP client , e.g. FileZilla
http://filezilla-project.org/

However, be careful that you do not UPload to a website using FTP if your
site uses FrontPage Server Extensions. This can break them

Hello Trevor,
Seems funny that I am repeating what you showed me in fixing my website. I
had reserves in using FileZilla but once I did download it and got the
correct version (Thanks to you) it is the way to go to do FTP.

Thanks.

I connected to the website and tried to publish it to my local drive.  I got
an error message in the middle of publishing:

"An error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files.  Authors - if
authoring against a web server, please contact the webmaster for this server
site.  Webmaster - please see the servers system log for more details"

The local folder contains only half of the files after publishing.  Who is
the "Webmaster" here means ?

Regards,
Sam

I was going to add

"Contact the web server manger", but I didn't.

Sorry about that

Any way, I successfully download the website to my local drive from another
computer.  I suspect that it is because of different version of FrontPage in
2 computers.
Thank all.
