"46 pages lost......................"

I've just been working on a website today, and yes I know its 2.20am but youll see why I'm still up in a minute.....

The website I am making uses a template that when changed all the other pages update automatically.....

I was optimising the template to make the website run faster, and as I was doing this I messed up an editable region of the template (which I reeeeealy wish I hadnt done)without realising, pressed save, and all the 46 pages of the website have updated themselves and are all corrupted...

Ive been trying to get back the old stuff for about 4 hours now and I cant figure it out.........

I think there is a way of getting your website off the internet from the last time you uploaded it, but im not sure....

This may not make sense because i'm very stressed and tired right now...

but any help would be grately appreciated.....

Thanks

---UPDATE---

Thanks for all the help.....

Thankfully Ive managed to get the website back, I lost some of the updates that I did, but that doesnt matter considering I could have lost the whole thing!

Thanks again

Heh, nothing wrong with posting at 2:20, time I do some of my best work..

Or if you ain't got an ftp prog go to the original pages on the internet and download the whole site you can do that using frontpage.

Job done sorted

sorry about the spelling and the unfinished line
I hit the wrong key. (Its getting Late)

line should read

This should take you back to the unmodified version.

Step 2) Buy a new window

Seriouly

If turbonutters' sugestion does not work, And you are using
windows ME and the original files were on your PC you could
try a system restore.

This will take you back to the unmodified

Step 1) Buy a new computer...

OK, really:

1) Move/zip all the files for your offline version (the one you corrupted) to another place on your PC.

2) FTP to your webspace using CuteFTP or WS_FTP.

3) Select all your files that are on the Internet and select "Download". This FTPs all the files from the server back to your PC. Make sure you download them to the same directory your offline version was in previously.

There you go. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, you're doing it wrong, so come back for more help.
