DarkWater Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 If you could do that, then anyone could get your source code. Simply: No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Does your old site or host provide a backup feature? If it does you can back it up and download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benphp Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 You can do it manually by pasting your code here on in the Post Reply text area - then click Preview, and it will format your code into a single string of color-coded HTML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litebearer Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 well let's see... 1 host still has site up and running 2 you can verifiy you were the creator if that is the case then simply email the host and request - ever so politely - they either forward the files to you or perhaps allow you temporary access to the files. Its simply amazing what people will do for you IF you are polite and explain your need. Just a thought. Lite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
