48 Chapter 3: The HTTP API
• The serverScriptsFolder argument is an optional string that names a particular folder—
relative to the Configuration folder on the application server—from which you want to
retrieve server scripts. To retrieve the scripts, Dreamweaver uses the appropriate transfer
protocol (such as FTP, WebDAV, or Remote File System). Dreamweaver copies these files to
the _mmServerScripts subfolder under the root folder for the current site.
If an error occurs, Dreamweaver reports it in the
statusCode property of the returned object.
