The procedures described in this tutorial work best if your remote root 

folder is empty. If your remote site already contains files, create an empty 

folder in your remote site (on the server), and use that empty folder as your 

remote root folder.

You also need to have a local site defined before you proceed. For more 

information, see 

 Tutorial: Setting Up Your Site and Project Files  

on page 49

Up a Dreamweaver Site  in Using Dreamweaver.

Define a remote folder

Now you'll set up a remote folder so that you can publish your web pages. 

The remote folder often has the same name as the local folder because your 

remote site is usually an exact duplicate of your local site. That is, the files 

and subfolders that you post to your remote folder are copies of the files 

and subfolders that you create locally.

On your remote server, create an empty folder inside the web root folder 

for the server. 

Name the new empty folder cafe_townsend (the same name as your 

local root folder).
