update updateable precompiled wesite

G

Guest

I have been asked to a add a links page to an existing partially precompiled?
web site. The page needs to be based on an existing master page and include
various pictures etc in order to look like the other pages. I have tried
copying the website (using the VStudio CopyTool) to my local pc in order to
update and test locally. But it seems to have a lot of errors. Such as not
seeing the master page for example. I have to generate a new one! Is this the
way?
OR
using Vstudio.net 2005 I have opened the site as an ftp site. Does the live
website have to be shut down while I make a change ? I have managed to crash
the live website although I haven't knowingly made a change.

What is the recommended procedure to update a precompiled website safely?

your advice would be much appreciated.
