So now I have a single button to:

1. recursively grab an HTML copy of all of the pages of this site, as it sits (in Zope) on my local machine,
2. open up an FTP connection to my hosting provider, and
3. recursively put each file in the right place on the host, creating directories along the way.

Kind of amazing how such a simple mirroring script was so painful to write. If I didn't have a job and wasn't spending the weekends either outside or in front of the TV watching football it probably would have taken me a morning.

It's (obviously?) pretty buggy, so don't be surprised if links occasionally break. So it goes. #
