Downloading a site to update it

You can synchronize local site files with files on a server by downloading as well as uploading. You would synchronize the files by downloading if you made changes at the server-based site that needed to be reflected at the local site.

For downloading, you have two choices:

• Incremental downloads copy only site files with modification dates on the server that are newer than the modification dates of the corresponding local files. (If a local file has a newer modification date, GoLive won't download the corresponding server file.)
• Selection downloads copy your selection of files from the server. They are useful for the same reasons that selection uploads are useful. (See About uploads and updates.)

To update a site by downloading it:

1. Open the site and connect to the FTP server.
2. Do one of the following:
• Click the Download from Server button  on the toolbar, or choose Site > FTP Server > Incremental Download.
• Select the folders or individual files to upload in the FTP tab, and then choose Site > FTP Server > Download Selection.
