Note: If you remove GoLive tags and attributes from files by selecting Strip GoLive Data From Media Files or Strip
HTML Code For Adobe GoLive Elements when you set upload options, upload the files to a server, and then download
them to your local site, GoLive overwrites your local files with the versions that don't contain GoLive tags and attributes.
This may cause unexpected results. Use care when replacing local files with files from the server.

corresponding server file.)

selection uploads are useful.

Synchronizing files without transferring data
You must keep both local and server files synchronized for GoLive to perform synchronized uploads and newer
downloads. GoLive lets you manually synchronize the modification times for your local site files and server files
without transferring data. Synchronizing manually is useful when the modification times of the local and the server
files are out of sync even though you know that the files are identical.
Files can get out of synchronization in a variety of ways. For instance, if you use a file transfer client other than
GoLive to upload the file, and later try to synchronize the file from within GoLive, your local file appears older than
the server file. The local file appears older because GoLive still refers to the timestamps it created the last time it
uploaded the file. To keep the files synchronized, GoLive will try to download the server file that appears to be newer.
Such downloads are unnecessary and might take a long time if multiple files are involved.
Synchronizing modification times for an entire site changes the modification times of all files, including any that
have been edited but not yet uploaded to the server. These files will not be uploaded by GoLive the next time you do
a synchronized upload because the modification times of the local files will match those on the server. If an upload
gets interrupted, make sure you don't apply the Sync Modification Times command to files that weren't uploaded.
To manually synchronize modification times without transferring files
With the site open and GoLive connected to the publish server, do one of the following:
To synchronize the entire site, choose Site > Publish Server > Sync Modification Times > All.
•
• To synchronize a selection of files, select a file, a folder, or a selection of files and folders in the Files tab of the site
window and choose Site > Publish Server > Sync Modification Times > Selection.
Downloading a web page
You can download a web page, complete with all its media and references, from any website that you can visit with a
web browser. You don't need FTP access to the directories containing the page and its images. The page you
download opens in a GoLive document window when the download is complete.
