Creating a remote folder with Dreamweaver  If Dreamweaver is your only means of access to the 

remote server, you won't be able to create an empty folder on the remote server until you've completed 

T..

the remote settings in Dreamweaver and established a connection. If that's the case, you can either 

.

define your host directory as your remote folder, or you can create a remote folder after you've 

established a connection with the server. In either case, continue with the instructions in this tutorial until 

you're connected to a remote server. After you've established a connection, you can use the 

Dreamweaver Files panel to create a new remote folder.

When you establish a connection with a remote server, the Files panel displays all of the files on the 

remote server in Remote view (just as it displays all of the local files on your computer in Local view). To 

display Remote view, select Remote view from the pop up menu at the top of the Files panel, or click 

Expand/Collapse in the Files panel toolbar. When you click Expand/Collapse, the Files panel displays 

both Local view and Remote view simultaneously.

To add an empty folder in Remote view, first display Remote view using one of the methods described 

earlier. (If you don't see your connection initially, click Refresh in the Files panel toolbar.) After you see 

that you're connected to your web server, right click (Windows) or Control click (Macintosh) in Remote 

view and select New Folder.
