Saving a web site local

[George Toft]

I use a web hosting company that does not allow shell access.  I have
found that if you create a development environment that is identical
to production, your need for shell access is not really necessary.  For
example, in my current job, every production problem I have had was
reporducable in development.  Fix the issue in dev, migrate to prod,
and it's fixed.

Yes, I have a dev web server running at home for my personal web site.  
I make it work here, then migrate to prod.  I haven't had shell access 
in almost a year, and don't miss it.
