UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD files -
Dreamweaver's interface makes uploading and downloading files to and from the server pretty easy. Here's how to do it.
First, open Dreamweaver. Once you've done that, click on the expand/collapse button over to the right of your screen (in the Files area).
Clicking the expand/collapse button will switch your view to this split screen.
The left side of the screen displays the folders and files that reside on
the web server; the right side shows the files and folders on the computer
you are currently working at (your local machine).
To view the files on the server, you must first connect to
the server. To connect to the server, click on the button that looks like two
cords plugging in to each other.
If you're prompted with a message stating that Dreamweaver can't determine the
remote server time, just click OK. This isn't something we have to worry about
for what we're doing.
You should now see our course directory in the Remote site pane on the left.
You should see a folder labeled with your NetID in this list. In order to
create web files (or edit those files) you will need to "get" (download)
a copy of the folder onto your local machine.
To do this, click on your folder to highlight it.
Then click on the green arrow "get" button at the top of your screen, because
you are going to "get" something from the server.
You may be prompted with a message asking about dependent files. Click the
No button.
If you look onto the right side of your screen, you should see that your folder
has been copied to your local machine.
Now let's create an index (home) page in our directory . . .
