Not sure if this is the right place for this but I remember that within frontpage you have the ability to import a website, front page will download the entire website and save it in a new folder, someone could easily copy any website by doing this and I wondered how you can prevent this, is there some code which can be placed on the homepage to stop this happening?

I think to import a website you need a password, or more details than just the URL

Im afraid you dont, this isnt a case of ftp, if you have front page give it a try:

File New web
import wizard
type URL
hit next
watch the website download


Not all websites will work so there must be a way of disabling this

It's a lot easier with wget (which comes with just about every linux distro and is available for windows).
Considering that doing so is basically a bunch of http requests, same as your browser, excluding it will also exclude normal web traffic.

BTW, quite a few versions of Internet Explorer included the same capability.

Your best bet, don't worry about it. Use copyscape to look for plagiarism, and worry about making a high quality site.

Even if you defeat these tools with javascript links, etc... Someone could just write a custom Selenium script and make the web browser do the work.

BTW, just about anything that keeps the simple tools from crawling your site will also prevent search engines from doing the same.

Build your site in php and it cant be ripped.

The man who code's a php rip program would be milionair, since there's alot of people who want to rip scripts from others.

The "rip" with frontpage your talking about is only the layout in html.

Could be an idea, but you'd need to have a little more knowledge in coding than i do :P

ok thanks very much for the reassurance
