If they are simple .html or .htm pages then you can simply browse them in the browser to see how they look. If you see any missing images in the browser then make sure that the images are downloaded with the template and they are in proper directory structure.
If its an php site then you will need to install the PHP server and then run the site to see the templates.
Hope this helps you.

If you are on a windows system you can enable IIS and instal php and mySQL on your system. This will allow you to test things as a localhost. A lot of people install WAMP which uses Apache instead of IIS but it does all of the work for you in terms of setting up a localhost.

Alternatively create a sub domain on your server which is password protected and do your dev in there, then to go live copy from that dev domain into www. Has the benefit of ensuring it works on your server setup
