permanently keep a edited website, locally

Question

I would like to keep a copy of a website, which I have edited saved locally to my machine, but so when I type in the url it comes up as the webpage I edited. It is not my website, I don't have access to the server but I would like my own edited copy of the website. Something like greasemoneky but which is easier to setup and use but also able to be able to sync with chrome if possible.

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Add an entry in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file so that the URL redirects to your own computer?

127.0.0.1       www.google.com

Then you have to have a webserver installed with the local page bound to the url.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you're intending to use this for. Hopefully not anything shady. To redirect any website url on your local machine you could set up parental controls.

There's plenty of ways to do it and it depends on your browser/operating system/modem. You can locally redirect files via your computer's local hostfile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pTvYMCMtKU

If you really want to get serious about it, then you could set up a little local DNS hijack with a service like OpenDNS. An even more extreme option would be something like DNSMASQ http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html.

Answer 3

After you finish editing the website,press ctrl+s and that will save a copy of the website.
