New issue 98 by Photon...@gmail.com: Tips and tricks to getting Google
Sites Liberation working
http://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=98

I spent some time today getting Google Sites Liberation working on my
Windows 7 machine. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants -- thank you to
those who posted information in the past which contributed to this.

Assume the following:
Site: https://sites.google.com/site/sitefortestingliberation/
User: Googl...@gmail.com
Pass: password

1. If you are using 2-step authentication for your Google user account the
app will error with "Invalid user credentials." Set-up an application
specific password for the liberation app:
https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens

2. To create a Windows command line export (download to your computer), use
the following syntax:

java -cp google-sites-liberation-1.0.4.jar
com.google.sites.liberation.export.Main -h sites.google.com -w
sitefortestingliberation -u Googl...@gmail.com -p password -f
site_export_folder -r

3. since I had three sites to liberate, I wrote the following batch file
(also attached). Note that I copied the jar file into the ALL_SITES_DIR
that will also contain folders for each site.




REM This batch file will export all Google Sites from my account using
Google Sites Liberation java app

REM The following are static variables for each Google site
SET ALL_SITES_DIR=C:\All Google Sites
SET JAR_FILE=google-sites-liberation-1.0.4.jar
SET EXPORT_CLASS=com.google.sites.liberation.export.Main
SET HOST=sites.google.com
SET USERNAME=Googl...@gmail.com
SET PASSWORD=password
SET RESULT_FILE=Site Liberation Log.txt

REM Initialize Log File
ECHO ******** Start Google Sites Data Liberation on %DATE% %TIME% ********
> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
ECHO. >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"

REM Google Site Liberation for "Site #1"
ECHO ++++++++ Google Site Liberation for "Site #1" ++++++++
>> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
SET WEBSPACE=sitenumber1
SET EXPORT_FOLDER=Site 1
java -cp "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%JAR_FILE%" %EXPORT_CLASS% -h %HOST%
-w %WEBSPACE% -u %USERNAME% -p %PASSWORD%
-f "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%EXPORT_FOLDER%" -r >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
ECHO. >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"

REM Google Site Liberation for "Site #2"
ECHO ++++++++ Google Site Liberation for "Site #2" ++++++++
>> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
SET WEBSPACE=sitenumber1
SET EXPORT_FOLDER=Site 2
java -cp "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%JAR_FILE%" %EXPORT_CLASS% -h %HOST%
-w %WEBSPACE% -u %USERNAME% -p %PASSWORD%
-f "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%EXPORT_FOLDER%" -r >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
ECHO. >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"

REM Google Site Liberation for "Site #3"
ECHO ++++++++ Google Site Liberation for "Site #3" ++++++++
>> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
SET WEBSPACE=sitenumber3
SET EXPORT_FOLDER=Site 3
java -cp "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%JAR_FILE%" %EXPORT_CLASS% -h %HOST%
-w %WEBSPACE% -u %USERNAME% -p %PASSWORD%
-f "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%EXPORT_FOLDER%" -r >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"
ECHO. >> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"

ECHO ******** End Google Site Data Liberation on %DATE% %TIME% ********
>> "%ALL_SITES_DIR%\%RESULT_FILE%"

Thanks for this:

Set-up an application specific password for the liberation app:

https://www.google.com/settings/u/1/security

Changing Access for less secure apps -> Enabled
was the key to getting this working for me

If you have two way verification ON, then create an application specific
password.

can you tell me what the prev. posts #1 and #3 are telling me about
creating an specific password for liberation app? First there is no "app".
So I only can choose "other" in the drop down menue. Second, I get an
generated password. But I cant set the "app" nor username and password.
Could you tell me how to do it (right)?

How would a google Apps for business user do this? The page specifies that
setting app specific passwords is not an option for this account type.

I am using Google App for Education and have the same question on creating
an specific password for liberation app. And I also want to try the bat
file but I should provide the information of "DOMAIN" and "WEBSPACE". How
do I add it in the bat file?
