After you set up a local folder for a Dreamweaver site (see Setting up a local folder), you can set up a remote folder. Depending on your development environment, the remote folder is where you store files for testing, collaboration, production, deployment, or so on.
NOTE |
|
You dont need to specify a remote folder if the folder you specified as your local folder is the same folder you created for your site files on the system running your web server. This implies the web server is running on your local computer. |
Determine how you will access the remote folder and note the connection information. This section describes how to set up a remote folder and connect to it.
The Manage Sites dialog box appears.
If you have not defined any Dreamweaver sites, create a local folder before proceeding (see Setting up a local folder).
The Site Definition dialog box appears.
For more information, see Setting Remote Info category options.
Dreamweaver creates a connection to the remote folder. If you are developing a dynamic site, you can add a Testing Server folder for processing dynamic pages (see Specifying where dynamic pages can be processed).
