Copy files to the server

Next, you'll copy the files you've updated to your server. After you copy the 

files, you'll view the insert record page, add a comment or question, and 

submit the data to test the application.

1.

In the Files panel, Control click (Windows) or Command click 

(Macintosh) the files named  view  and  send,  and then click the blue 

Put Files arrow icon to upload the files to your server.

2.

If Dreamweaver asks whether you want to copy dependent files to the 

server, select Yes.

NO

With some server models, Dreamweaver creates a Connections folder in 

TE

your local folder. You must also copy that folder to your remote server for the 

web application to work. In the Files panel, select the Connections folder and 

click Put File (s) to copy the folder to your server. 

3.

With the file named send as the active document, select File > Preview 

in Browser or press F12 to view your page in a browser. 

4.

Enter test data in the form and click Insert Record in the document to 

submit your data.

The application server receives the submitted information, updates the 

database, and displays the comments page with the updated 

information.
