Website files

Hi I am in the process of transferring by domain and hosting. I do not have access to the files as the people who created it are no longer in exsistance. I understand that they FTP the files. How can I copy over the content?

Thanks

    This should help you :)

    Next time, make sure that you get to keep ALL files concerning your website, you did pay for them after all :)

    I cannot get you further than that, it is a long time since I used Godaddy, I find their whole system confusing to be honest.

    Sorry, maybe someone else can get you further than I can or maybe there is an option I do not know of?

    Try FTP access - if you don't have an FTP client, filezilla is excellent and free.

    FTP access is usually needed in order to copy the PHP, any databases, etc
  • Filezilla is a free FTP Client
