Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
You can use a tool such as HTTPTrack Website Copier to download the structure of your site into a local directory structure. From there you can just zip the file up, and upload it directly using the "Import a Site" option when creating a new site.
Cheers!

Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
Our import is really meant for templates that you want to base your site off when you start to build in Sitemasher. If you take an existing site with lots of javscript and forms, it might not look right when imported. Once you've imported the site, let us know if it looks wonky and we can find a solution for you.

Inappropriate?Thanks, I downloaded the content using HTTPTrack, zipped it and started to upload to sitemasher. THe zip file is about 25MB, below the 49MB limit. However, sitemasher hangs -- the screen is dark grey and the "finish" button in the bottom left is inactive. I tried twice with the same result. All the files passed the virus scan step. -
Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
It seems you have completed the upload process but you must wait for the transfer process to complete. The dialogue should ask you this question after the upload step " "Select files you wish to extract from ZIP" and a next button. After that it will show you the import results step. Did you get to this step by any chance?
You can also tell us the website you are trying to copy and we can do a test for you.
