Getting and putting files to and from your server
File transfer and dependent files
If youre working in a collaborative environment, use the Check In/Check Out system to transfer files between local
and remote sites. If you’re the only person working on the remote site, however, you can use the Get and Put commands
to transfer files without checking them in or out.
When you transfer a document between a local and remote folder using the Files panel, you have the option of
transferring the documents dependent files. Dependent files are images, external style sheets, and other files referenced
in your document that a browser loads when it loads the document.
Note: Its usually a good idea to download dependent files when checking out a new file, but if the latest versions of the
dependent files are already on the local disk, theres no need to download them again. This is also true for uploading and
checking in files: no need if up-to-date copies are already at the remote site.
Library items are treated as dependent files.
Some servers report errors when putting library items. However, you can cloak these files to prevent them from being
transferred.
About background file transfers
You can perform other, non-server-related, activities while you’re getting or putting files. Background file transfer
works for all of the transfer protocols supported by Dreamweaver: FTP, SFTP, LAN, WebDAV, Subversion, and RDS.
Non-server-related activities include common operations like typing, editing external style sheets, generating site-wide
reports, and creating new sites.
Server-related activities that Dreamweaver cannot perform during file transfers include the following:
Put/Get/Check in/Check out files
Undo check-out
Create a database connection
Bind dynamic data
