I need to share some folders from a SharePoint site to a user outside my organization. When i choose the folder and click share to specific people, i get an error
I did some searching and there is an official documentation from Microsoft that recommends checking the sharing permissions etc. All steps suggested are OK but i still can't share the folder. FYI the folders is a pretty large one and the whole library has 710.000 files and folders and 990GB of storage. I mean, it is utterly annoying the way it works. If i can't share a large folder why do i even get the option to do so? Is there any workaround besides distributing the files and folders into many libraries which will be chaotic?
PS. I did the same question on sharepoint.stackexchange.com but no answer in a week. Please i need help
Can you copy a Composite C1 website? I would like to create a copy of an existing website as a new website.
I start by creating Site A. Then I want to copy it and create Site B.
For example: copy the pages, functions, data, content, layouts, css from website A to website B. The only difference between the two would be the name.
It would infringe copywrites and may get you sued, but yes, its possible with a scraper, which basicly get all of the site, and download it to you, such things are used by google and search engines for a cache of sites.
Some exaples:

or just google "web scrapers"
If you own the site however, and have access to the ftp, just simply copy the files to a folder called /b and it can become www.a.com/b or you can set up an addon domain to point to /b and make the addon domain.... say www.b.com
The answer to your question "can you copy a website?"
Is Yes....you can.
Provided you have access to all the files/folders, its no different then copying a bunch of folders on your computer, to another folder.
So if you're using a shared host....and everything is in your public_html folder.
Just put the whole website in one folder, then copy it over to another folder.
And then just simply point your new domain to that folder, through your hosting platform.
The process to do this is different for different hosts, but the actual answer to your question is...
YES....YOU CAN COPY A WEBSITE FROM ONE FOLDER TO ANOTHER
IF you have access to the files on the server you can simply copy it to the other desired location...
But remember you have to update links and other paths (if they are absolute).
If you don't have the access you could maybe use the developer tools like firebug, or using F12 on chrome or IE and copy each file and source code you have by hand. This approach is a little more time consuming than the last one but at least it can be made.

As far as I know the easiest way would be use use Internet Explorers save to offline webpage function (if it is still there) - this will copy all the resources of the currently open webpage and recode the HTML to use them, as for an entire website..I dont think it will be easy, for legal reasons.
If it's your own site, sure why not! Who is there to stop you?
But if it's someone elses site, of course you have to worry about copyright and most of the time the website uses server side scripts which are not downloabeable.
You can duplicate a Composite C1 website by copying the entire file structure to a new folder and then update the installation id in the folder ~/App_Data/Composite/Configuration/InstallationInformation.xml (put in a new random GUID). Then point a new IIS site into this new folder.
If your site is using SQL Server as a backend you also need to create a copy of your database, create a new user account with dbo access for this database and update the connection string in ~/web.config.
If you wish to duplicate an entire page structure inside the existing instance of the CMS and share media files, templates etc. this could be done, but no tooling is available. This would be a coding task.
Copy the the directory(website physical path) where the website is pointing to and paste it somewhere...create a new website and point it to that copied directory....
I am working on a problem where I have to login to a website (through a form on the webpage), which has many folders displayed on the page and these folders contains many files under them.DO I understand correctly that these folders are not same as folders present on our PC which has a physical location? These folders on the website are just a link which opens a list of files upon clicking.
So, I am struggling to write a code which can login to the site and download all folders and the contents(files) and arrange it in same fashion on the PC in the same hierarchy in which it is arranged in the website. I am thinking about using httpwebrequest for logging in the site, but I have no idea how to download the folders and the contents in the same form as in website.
can anyone help me to develop the code?? I am using C# as my language with .net 4.0
Before thinking about reinventing the wheel, why not ask your hosting provider about ftp access to the site. If you have that then problem solved ... use one of the numerous ftp clients to download all the website content in one click.
Good luck
Our company has a very large document library that is taking up an enormous amount of our allocated space. I want to delete the library but not before backing it up onto my harddrive, first. Can you help? I found directions that instruct to use Outlook, but I don't want put this library in Outlook. Is there another way?
You could open up the library in Explorer View, then simply select all files and copy to a local folder.
Do you want to be able to search for those files in SharePoint after you remove them from it? If yes, then you will need to move the files to a network share and configure the crawler to scan the files there. Alternatively, you could create a records center site collection in SharePoint and move the files that you don't need any more from your working site to the record's center. That way they will stay in SharePoint, but would not occupy quota in your production sites (but would still occupy SharePoint space somewhere, so this might not be an option if you absolutely need to trim down the SharePoint space).
I hope someone has met this need before. I got quite a bunch of documents in a Sharepoint site. And I want to download all the docs as a whole instead of one by one. I have tried the Teleport Pro but it just said HTTP 401 Unauthorized error. Is there any way to download the whole Sharepoint document-sharing site?
Many thanks.
If you have WebDav enabled, you can just open your sharepoint site as network folder and copy paste the documents into your local hard drive.

You can use DMS-Shuttle for SharePoint for this purpose. With one drag & drop (or CTRL+C, CTRL+V ) you can download a document library or the whole site with all subsites and document libraries. You can define different filters (by modified date, size or file extension). There is a Trial Version here.
