Uploading Files to the Web

To upload your site to the Web successfully, you must make sure that you defined your Local Info and Remote Info before you did anything else in Dreamweaver. If you are working on a different computer and forgot to define your site, follow the steps on Getting Started page. You will have to create a new site and enter all the information in the Local Info and Remote Info tabs. If you are sure that you defined your Remote Info, but uploading is not working, go back and check your Remote Info. Go to Site > Manage Sites > Your Site Name. If the name of the site is not there, follow the steps on Getting Started page.

Uploading your files
To upload your files to the Web, complete this process:
1. Make sure your Files panel is open. If not, go to Window > Files.
2. Click the Connect button. This button connects Dreamweaver to your server space.

3. Make sure your toolbar displays Local View and your files can be seen in the panel. The Local View shows everything in the Files panel that is on the computer in your local root folder.
4. Select your local root folder and click on the Put button.

NOTE: If you make changes, be sure to upload your entire folder and replace the old version to keep all files linked properly.
1. In the toolbar, switch your view from Local to Remote View. You should now see your files under Remote as well. The Remote View shows you all of the files uploaded on your server space.
2. Check your site in a browser by typing in your Web site address. If you are using the BGSU personal web space your Web address is: http://personal.bgsu. edu/~(your username).
