You can define a Dreamweaver local folder for each new web application you create. The local folder is the folder you use to store working copies of site files on your hard disk. Defining a local folder also gives you the ability to manage your files and to transfer files to and from your web server at the click of a button.
You may want to create subfolders to store image files and other assets.
The Site Definition dialog box appears.
You can enter a path, or click the folder icon to browse to and select the folder.
For more information on these options, see Setting Local Info category options.
Leave the Site Definition dialog box open. You must specify a remote folder next. See Defining a remote folder.
