How do I download my site to my new computer?

Scenario: a new computer, DW CS4, a new version to me.
I want to simply download my site from the web to my new computer, and have it all set up pretty much the way it was on my old computer.  Will the files download and create the correct folders or must I define the folders in advance?  I know this is easy but I need advice.
What I have done so far:  I went to Site>New>FTP & RDS Server and in there entered the info about the ftp connection.
It connected to the web and downloaded what is on the site.  I thought that was cool, but it is not what I want and now I am afraid to change anything.  Is it possible to start over?
I also set up a New Site, named it, entered the ftp info but now it won't connect to the server because it says it's in use and so I have to wait for its availability.  So I think I need to disengage the FTP & RDS Server but don't know how.
Thanks in advance...

Do you have access to your old files on the old computer?  If so, save them to your new computer.  You then would set up a site definition pointing to the old files.
If you don't have them  (you should really have a backup :-)  you should be able to download them via ftp, either into a new folder that you create and then set up a site definition pointing to this folder, or download them to an already set up site defined location.
  It seems you have tried this - but not sure what you mean when you say 'they are not the way you'd like them".  Can you explain a little more about the problem you have with the files you did download?

  • How do I download CS5.5 on my new computer at work?

    How do I download CS5.5 on my new computer at work? I already have a serial number.

    You had better check with your IT dept. before installing.  It could get you fired.  If there is any sort of network security on your work computer you probably won't be able to install anything as you don't have admin rights.

    Download it from exactly the same place you downloaded it previously. If you purchased it from Adobe, you link is still available. If you don't have the email confirmation of your purchase, then log into Adobe.com and go to your account page to look at your Orders.

    how do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

  • I purchased a download version of PSE12 and now have a new computer.  How can I find out how to re-download the program to my new computer?

    Any solutions out there.  Adobe products are mostly great, but customer service almost non-existant, despite the elaborate website.

    You are allowed two activated installations at any time. If you aren't going to be using the old computer anymore, go to Help>Sign Out in the editor to deactivate it.
    For the new computer, the simplest way is to download the trial and enter your serial number into that when installing.

  • I had about 6000 songs on my old computer in Itunes. 1000 I bought from Itunes, the rest I downloaded from CD's I owned. I was able to down load the Itunes songs but not my library of cd music. How do I download those songs into my new computer?

    I have 6000 songs in itunes (in my Ipod and old laptop).
    I was able to download the songs I purchased directly from itunes to my new laptop but the 5000 songs  I loaded into itunes from my old laptop using my own CD's won't transfer... or I don't know how.
    When I plug in my Ipod to my new laptop, I get a message that says the Ipod library is linked to my old laptop and the library can only be linked to one computer at a time.
    Any ideas how to resolve this situation?

    Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.
