    I know this is not really a WordPress question but eventually would like to see this site redone in WordPress. The OLD website has been copied (full ftp of site) to a test location so it can be modified over there but for some reason its not coming up like the original location. There are the old index.htm, default.htm type of files. Template directory, etc.
    But why? When you ftp a whole site, it should show up! But again its not... its broken and I don't know why.

    Copied it to here and yes you can see its broken:

    The original location (and it looks fine!):

    The stylesheets are all intact on the new location... checked through the directories and the files/folders look to be there.

    Ideas?

    Thanks!

    So is the old version of the site strictly html? Can you browse directly to any of the pages?

    If you posted them, the links to the site(s) are not showing up in the post here.
