Does anyone know if it's possible to access online a website built with Homesite way back in 2013? The website still exists, but I have no way of making updates now that Homesite has been retired.
Thank you!

If you know your server's log-in credentials, use free FileZilla FTP client to connect and transfer files to/from your server.

Once you have the remote files on your computer, you can use any decent code editor to make changes.

That said, a 13 year old site created with obsolete software from the 1990's is unlikely to be fit for modern use. Current browsers and mobile devices will probably choke on it for various reasons. There's little point in postponing the inevitable. You'll need to build a new, responsive site with modern code & software.
Start here:
Read chapters, do code exercises and take quizzes at the end.
