Publish my site using Dreamweaver

The following article explains how to publish your site using Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a program developed by Macromedia used to create websites. The website is typically created locally on your computer first and then published to the web server.

1. Open Dreamweaver.
    
2. Navigate to the Site menu and choose Manage Sites.
    
3. A dialog box will appear. Click New.
   
4. Choose FTP & RDS Server from the drop down.
   
5. You may receive a warning stating you cannot perform sitewide operations. Click OK.
    
6. The Configure Server dialog box will appear. Fill in the information as follows:

7. Name: <any name to remember your site as; can be your domain name>
   Access Type: FTP
   FTP host: <your domain or the IP address of the server>
   Home directory: <can be left blank or you can choose a directory to upload files to>
   Login: <your FTP username>
   Password: <your FTP password>
   Use Passive FTP: check the checkbox
   URL Prefix: <http://www.yourdomain.tld >  
   

    

8. Click the Test button and the FTP connection should work.  If it does not, fix any errors you may see.  Otherwise if the test is successful, click OK.
9. The site will now show in the Manage Sites dialog box.  Click Done.
    
10. Once you are ready to upload your files, go to File > Save to Remote Server...
11. Your root folder will be listed.  Double-click and drill down to the folder you wish the files to be uploaded to.  Enter in the file name and click Save.
     
12. A dialog box will appear with a status bar indicating the progress of the file upload.  If there's an error, Dreamweaver will state the error.  If there's no error, the files are uploaded to the FTP server.
