wget -r?

"save the entire site to my PC" ...over the internet?

Presumably, however, that 'whatever program' can only download the output of your .asp files (ie. the static HTML/CSS/JavaScript that gets served to the browser), not the actual ASP or Database structure ...?!

Teleport Pro will download and create a browsable copy (i.e. rewrite all querystring links to work locally, etc) of a website on your computer.

There are various downloaders available that will allow you to retrieve a copy of the "publicly available" version of the website, that is the resultant pages and data generated by the ASP scripts. However, they will not download the generating scripts themselves of the backend administration scripts/database used to drive the site as a whole. If you are only interested in capturing the available data then these downloaders may be able to help. However, if you need to retrieve the complete admin/database/scripting for the site, then you really need FTP access.

This is assuming of course that your client owns or has licenced the backend scripting for the site. Your initial post raises the possibility that your client has been using a service which they now no longer want to use, in which case you might have to be satisfied with retrieving the data and then rebuilding from there.

I have a client with a 600 plus page retail site in .asp that doesn't have FTP access to the server it's hosted on.

How did the website get on the server?

The best solution would be to contact the hoster and ask for an FTP access - which is usually much less expensive than retrieving all information by hand.

However - this seems a little odd. Better check that you're client is even allowed to retrieve the website. Sounds to me like they have a license agreement for a third party shopping cart and now try to steal it. Or do they only want the text and images they own? Then check one of the many freely available web downloaders.
