How to get your current website from the web server to your PC.
NOTE: If you website uses FrontPage, do not use FTP to upload any html pages to your website unless you know exactly what your doing.

From Server to Local PC:

Step 1: Open or use windows explorer to make a new folder on your PC (example: in C:\My Docments make a folder called my_website_com)

Step 2: Open FrontPage and click >File >Open Web> type in http://your_website.com .

Step 3: Once your website is opened on the server click >File >Publish Web> and browse to the folder you created on your PC ( C:\My Docments\my_website_com ) and click Open > click Publish > (if FrontPage says it needs to add some info to your folder, click yes)

Step 4: Close Front Page, open the folder you just published to in windows explorer ( the folder you created at Step 1 above) and delete folder cgi-bin.

FrontPage publishes your website FROM your web server TO your home PC so now you can work on it all you want and when done you need to publish the website back to your server as listed above at "Publishing from Local PC to Web Server:".
