before clicking the Minus (–) button.

Getting and putting files to and from your server

File transfer and dependent files

If you’re 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 document’s 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: It’s 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, there’s 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.
