I'm trying to use SUPERBOT to do this. I've also tried FRONTPAGE 2003.
I have subscribed to a website and have a userid/password. I'd like to copy it to my PC for offline use. The pages I cannot obtain are under a folder called PROTECTED/....
When I mass-copy this folder I simply get an offline copy of the login screen. I have put the password/Userid into SUPERBOT before trying this.
Also this did work for another password protected site. Just not for the one mentioned above.
I need to get about 100 HTML pages onto my PC and don't want to do it manually - any ideas?

Thu, October 27, 2005 - 1:54 PMit depends how the pages are protected.
if HTTP AUTH is used (the kind of authorization where the browser pops up a small dialog box asking for your username and password), then you can simply mirror the website using a program like "wget" (a linux program which can mirror websites), by simply specifying the URL in this manner: http://username:password@www.website.com/
if the username and password is obtain via an HTML form directly on the website, then you cannot do this. an HTML form must be submitted to the website in order to log in and view the pages.
