Coffee Cup HTML editor - downloading...

I have a fairly large site which I built with Front Page. My hosting company isn't going to support Front Page much longer, so I want to import it into Coffee Cup HTML. What is the easiest way to do this?

I don't want to do it one page at a time. I want to suck the whole site down.

Thanks,
Sheridan

The best way would be to use an ftp program to download all of your website files from your website to your computer. Then you could simply open your files using whatever editor you wanted.
Note that some of the stuff that Front Page creates is only designed to work in Internet Explorer, and only supported by front page. If your web server dicontinues support for Front Page, the Front Page extensions (the parts that only work in I.E.) might also stop working.

If you don't have an ftp program, have a look at the coffeecup one:

maybe it will work to download all of your files (or at least the web page ones)

www.mainsites.ca is my website, and yes, some of it is crappy.

Maybe I'm misinformed, but I was under the impression there was currently no way to import an existing web site into Visual Designer, because the software only works with the native proprietary file format. Is this incorrect?

ETA: I'll answer myself: this post isn't about VSD. Duh. Sorry about that.
