Please send your emails as text, not html;  this is a text-based mailing 
list.

To archive your website, use the rsync command.  No need to write any 
code, as rsync will descend into all the directories as needed, and 
it'll get the actual website data, not the stuff that the web server 
feeds to the browsers.

If for some reason you don't have rsync, you could use scp.  But it 
doesn't seem to be able to preserve attributes.  It's also not smart 
enough to only copy stuff that's been changed, when you want to update 
incrementally.
