Defining a remote folder

After defining a local folder, define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver 

remote folder. 

To define the Dreamweaver remote folder:

1.

In the Advanced tab of the Site Definition dialog box, select Remote 

Info from the Category list. 

The Remote Info screen appears.

2.

In the Access pop up menu, choose how you want to move your files to 

and from the server: across a local network (the Local/Network option) 

or using FTP.

NO

There are other options in the Access pop up menu, but this chapter 

TE

doesn't cover them. For information about them, see Using Dreamweaver.

3.

Enter the path or FTP settings to the web server folder you created in 

 Creating a root folder (Windows)  on page 308

.

The folder may be on your hard disk or on a remote computer. Even if 

you created the folder on your hard disk, that folder is still considered 

to be the remote folder. The following example shows a possible 

Remote Folder path if you chose Local/Network access and your 

remote folder is on your Windows hard disk:

Remote Folder: 

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySampleApps

On the Macintosh, the folder might be as follows:

Remote Folder: 

/Users/

your_user_name

/Sites/MySampleApps

For more information on FTP, see  Setting Remote options for FTP 

access  in Using Dreamweaver Help. 

Leave the Site Definition dialog box open. Next, define a folder to process 

dynamic pages. 

Specifying where dynamic pages can be 

processed (PHP)

After defining the Dreamweaver remote folder, specify a folder to process 

dynamic pages. Dreamweaver uses this folder to display dynamic pages and 

connect to databases while you're developing your application.
