How can I verify download of site is perfect??

[Linda354]

We just had our first experience at working with two users at two different remote sites and it didn't go well. A message that we were "in sync" apparently couldn't be trusted, one person's download of the site was apparently banged up and didn't show up until she tried to upload site-wide changes and all kinds of weird errors showed up. Either that or corrections the other person made weren't kept in sync.

At any rate,

1. How can you verify that you have a perfect download of what's on a server?

2. How reliable have others found Dreamsweaver to be at managing multiple users? Any tips?

I guess I should take it from the silence that nobody knows of any way to automatically verify that a site has downloaded properly.

you cant....you just download it and if it works its perfect..if not do it again "blah blah blah blah blah..."-Dennis Quaid

That sounds simple enough, but with a very large site with which I was unfamiliar, that was more than a notion. Having to check through each file and verify that it looks just like the original would have been the only way to avoid the problems we later had. With 70+ pages that's quite a task.
