Using the File Management button
The File Management button, located at the top of the Document window next to the Quick
Export button, offers easy access to file-transport commands. You can use the File
Management button if your document lives in a Studio 8 site folder and if the site has access
to a remote server. Fireworks recognizes your folder as a site if you have used the Manage Site
dialog box in Dreamweaver 8 to define the target folder, or a folder that contains the target
folder, as the local root folder for a site.
The File Management button displays the following menu commands:
Get copies the remote version of the file to the local site, overwriting the local file with the
remote copy.
Check Out checks the file out, overwriting the local file with the remote copy. Check Out is
enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File Check In and Check Out option is enabled in
Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.
Put copies the local version of the file to the remote site, overwriting the remote file with the
local copy.
Check In checks the local file in, overwriting the remote file with the local copy. Check In is
enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File Check In and Check Out option is enabled in
Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.
Undo Check Out undoes Check Out of the local file and checks it in, overwriting the local
file with the remote copy. Undo Check Out is enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File
Check In and Check Out option is enabled in Dreamweaver for the site in which the
document lives.
For more information about the File Management menu, see Chapter 15, “Working with
Macromedia Dreamweaver,” on page 374.
NOTE
File Management commands are enabled in Fireworks only if your document lives in a
Studio 8 site folder with a remote server defined. Fireworks File Management
commands can be used only for files that live in sites that use the Local/Network and
FTP transport methods. Files in sites that uses FTP or third-party transport methods
such as SourceSafe, WebDAV, and RDS cannot be transported to and from the remote
server from within Fireworks.
