HDD crash on Ricefootball.net mother ship; we're dead in the water for now
Unfortunately just as I was about to do the initial upload of files on the website on Sunday, my faithful laptop's hard drive crashed and burned and although I have a replacement laptop with software already installed in anticipation of such occasion, I do not have a backup for LOCAL current files. For ANY of them. So am dead in the water until I get probably a couple of years' worth of the most recent files downloaded from the remote site back to my computer. This could take two or three days to get done given this week's work requirements.
Please bear with us for I hope no more than three or four days until back up and running.
I suppose the simplest route is just to get an FTP program like FileZilla and use it to accomplish the download. However, I've got about a zillion files uploaded to the server, many years worth, and I only need the last couple of years' worth to be up and running.
This may be overreaching, but if there is anyone out there who could get this accomplished expeditiously, load it onto a large capacity SD card, and overnight that to me, I would be very happy to pay for the work. Any takers?
Alternatively, any and all suggestions welcome...

I wish I could help with something like that. I was wandering what had happened.
