How do I transfer my current live site to my PC? I hv installed xampp.

What do I do next? Do I FTP the public_html folder into xampp/htdocs?

what about the database?

thank you for your help
I loaded Zencart and started using without the book! Now, I have the book and would like to have the test site. Not sure how to setup without disturbing my current running site. I would like to install on portable hard drive I purchased that has lots room.

I have ftp files to my drive already. Do I install XXAMP next?

How are you able to do this?
