You can put files from the local site to the remote site, generally without changing the files checked out status.
There are two common situations in which you might use the Put command instead of Check In:
NOTE |
|
If you put a file that didnt previously exist on the remote site and youre using the Check In/Check Out system, the file is copied to the remote site and is then checked out to you so that you can continue editing. |
You can use the Files panel or the Document window to put files. Dreamweaver creates a log of file activity during the transfer. To view or save this log, see Managing file transfers.
Dreamweaver also records all FTP file transfer activity. If an error occurs when you are transferring a file using FTP, the Site FTP log can help you determine the problem.
Usually you select these in the Local view, but you may select the corresponding files in the Remote view if you prefer.
NOTE |
|
To put only those files for which the local version is more recent than the remote version, see Synchronizing the files on your local and remote sites. |
If the file hasnt been saved, a dialog box may appear (depending on your preference setting in the Site category of the Preferences dialog box) allowing you to save the file before putting it on the remote server.
NOTE |
|
If you do not save the file, any changes youve made since the last time you saved will not be put onto the remote server. However, the file remains open, so you can still save the changes after putting the file on the server if you want. |
The Dependent Files dialog box appears.
NOTE |
|
If the remote site already contains copies of the dependent files, click No. |
To stop the file transfer click the Cancel button in the status dialog box. The transfer may not stop immediately.
NOTE |
|
If the current file is not part of the current site in the Files panel, Dreamweaver attempts to determine which locally defined site the current file belongs to. If the current file belongs to only one local site, Dreamweaver opens that site, then performs the Put operation. |
