Copy website using Remote Site

Has anyone pulled this off?  When I try any form of my url, I get a "Unable to open the website 'http://www.MyDomain.com'. No Hacking"

Since there is no other mention of this in the Visual Studio world - I assume this response is from WH4L.  I'm not sure.  I just want the file replication situation to work.  I use ftp now.  It does not work well on my root site.  Something is messed.

Any clues?

Anything?

This is one of those ridiculous WH4L things.  "No Hacking!"?  What kind of error message is that!?  After contacting WH4L tech support to solve this problem on over 20 different websites, the Support Team FINALLY tells me that I can fix this myself by:

- Going to Control Panel >> Security >> Security Guard

Turn off Security Guard next to the website to which you are trying to publish.  Tech Support has told me that this is actually turning off your firewall???!!!  That seems crazy to me, but it gets rid of the crazy "No Hacking" error and allows you to publish via FrontPage Extensions (i.e. Visual Studio).

What's your URL? I can try to get this to work for you without turnning off the application firewall.

This is not the network firewall, it's application firewall to prevent hackings like SQL injection caused by poor programming pratice from the customer's end.

The application firewall seems like a good feature that simply isn't explained well up front.  I like the concept a lot, but had not idea that it even existed until browsing these forums.
