I've been interested in all the threads that relate to doing local development with C5 using MAMP. They all seem to follow the same path of installing C5 within the /htdocs folder as well as setting some password options. All this before even getting started creating a site.

My question is a bit of the converse: I've already installed C5 on my remote host and have been creating the bare beginnings of a site. Is it possible to migrate the remotely-hosted site and C5 to my local folder or do I install C5 locally and then move something from the remote to the local folder? Is there a mySQL database involved? (I ask only to be sure I have everything. I know how to copy a DB from a remote site to my local host and back again.)

There are two reasons for wanting to do this: I can do site work while riding the train between Chi & SF (no WiFi yet) and I also would like to give presentations using a projector but many venues don't have WiFi.

Thanks for any helpful advice,
