10 In the Root Directory text box, enter the directory (folder) on the remote server where you store documents that are
visible to the public.
If you’re uncertain about what to enter as the root directory, contact the server’s administrator or leave the text box
blank. On some servers, your root directory is the same as the directory you first connect to with FTP. To find out,
connect to the server. If a folder with a name like public_html, or www, or your user name, appears in the Remote
File view in your Files panel, that’s probably the directory you should enter in the Root Directory text box.
11 In the Web URL text box enter the URL of your website (for example, http://www.mysite.com). Dreamweaver uses
the Web URL to create site root-relative links, and to verify links when you use the link checker.
For a more extensive explanation of this option, see Advanced Settings category.
12 Expand the More Options section if you still need to set more options.
13 Select Use Passive FTP if your firewall configuration requires use of passive FTP.
Passive FTP enables your local software to set up the FTP connection rather than requesting the remote server to
set it up. If you’re not sure whether you use passive FTP, check with your system administrator, or try both checking
and unchecking the Use Passive FTP option.
For more information on passive FTP, see this article.
14 Select Use IPv6 Transfer Mode if you are using an IPv6-enabled FTP server.
With the deployment of version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6), EPRT and EPSV have replaced the FTP commands
PORT and PASV, respectively. Thus, if you are trying to connect to an IPv6-enabled FTP server, you must use the
extended passive (EPSV) and the extended active (EPRT) commands for your data connection.
For more information, see www.ipv6.org/.
15 Select Use Proxy if you want to specify a proxy host or proxy port.
For more information, click the link to go to the Preferences dialog box, and then click the Help button in the Site
category of the Preferences dialog.
16 Click Save to close the Basic screen. Then in the Servers category, specify whether the server you just added or edited
is a remote server, a testing server, or both.
For help with troubleshooting FTP connectivity problems, see this article.
SFTP connections
Use Secure FTP (SFTP) if your server/firewall configuration requires the use of secure FTP. SFTP uses encryption and
identity keys to secure a connection to your remote/testing server.
Note: Your server must be running an SFTP service for you to select this option. If you don’t know whether your server is
running SFTP, check with your server administrator.
You can now authenticate connections to an SFTP server based on an ‘Identity Key’ (with or without a passphrase).
Dreamweaver supports only OpenSSH key files.
