# HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser
HTTrack is an easy-to-use website mirror utility. It allows you to download a World Wide website from the Internet to a local directory,building recursively all structures, getting html, images, and other files from the server to your computer. Links are rebuiltrelatively so that you can freely browse to the local site (works with any browser). You can mirror several sites together so that you can jump from one toanother. You can, also, update an existing mirror site, or resume an interrupted download. The robot is fully configurable, with an integrated help

## Option panel : Build

- Local Structure Type
Lets you define the local structure of the site.
The default is "site structure": you will get the same folder/files names and structure as the original
You can, however, put all images in one single folder, html in another and so on..
- DOS Names
Force the engine to generate DOS names (8 characters for the name, 3 for the type)
- ISO9660 Names
Force the engine to generate ISO9660-compatible names for storing on medias such as CDROM or DVDROM
- No error pages
Do not generate error pages (if a 404 error occured, for example)
If a page is missing on the remote site, there will not be any warning on the local site
- No external pages
Rewrite all external links (links that needs an Internet connection) so that there can be a warning page before ("Warning, you need to be online to go to this link..")
Useful if you want to separate the local and online realm
- Hide passwords
Do not include username and password for protected sites in the code, when a link will not be caught. This allow to remain the access data private.
- Hide query strings
Do not include query strings for local links. Query strings (?foo=45&bar=67) are generally not necessary for local (file://) files, but query strings can be useful to show several information (example: page-4.html?index=History). However, some basic browsers may not understand that (wireless browsers, especially), and hiding query strings might be a good idea in this case.
- Do not purge old files
Do not purge, after an update, the local files that no longer exist on the remote site, or that have been skipped
