Question

Need to copy files from slooooowwww server

Hi, all.

I need to download HTML Help project files from a slow server through a slow network connection.

Unfortunately, the directory on the server contains every discarded working file, every source file, etc., etc. -- dozens if not hundreds of unnecessary files.

There used to be a way to package just the working project files for a help project -- but waas it maybe ForeHelp that provided such a handy feature?

Anyway, I need to do this now with RoboHelp 11 so I can download just the files needed for my project.

How do I do this?

Thanks!

Hopefully you've got a folder with the RH project name on it - just zip the folder up & haul it down to your local c:\ drive and unpack it. All links between topics are preserved that way. Then you can start chasing down broken links to other files left behind on the server.

I have a huge folder containing many, many subfolders. I don't see one with the exact project name. Are you saying that there should be such a subfolder, presumably generated by rh?

Not knowing the folder structure, I would search for .xpj files (RH project files) - they'll be in the root folder of a project. Where you find them may give you a better idea of what's called what.
