Sorry I didnt word it very well ... i am skipping /site101/ and running as
siteAdmin
But I want a siteManagement package that will download all in that directory
whilst letting me set document root as
./web/ to allow includes to work locally ... goLive is close but no cigar
;-(

essentially dreamweaver could do it with one simple bit of extra config but
it aint there ;-(

not my server although I can be serverAdmin ... but too much hassle its not
ccNos and all is at users risk ...its not going to compromise the server
