Publishing a
Dreamweaver Site
T
he Web pages you create and edit in your Local
site are not available to visitors to your Web site.
To make your finished Web pages available on
the World Wide Web (WWW), you need to publish your
Dreamweaver site. Publishing your site means copying
the Web page files to your Remote site.
When you set up your Dreamweaver site, you set up a
Remote site — the site where the public can view your Web
pages. You provided Dreamweaver with the information it
needs to transfer the files from your Local site to your
Remote site. Uploading your files to the Remote site is
sometimes called “putting your files,” based on the FTP
command
put, used to upload files. Dreamweaver handles
the details of the connection to the remote server and
transferring the files.
You can transfer your entire site or any single file to the
Remote site. Because this example shows publishing your
first Web site, the entire site is transferred. The Web site in
this example actually consists of only one file and an empty
Images directory. If more files exist in the Local site, all the
files are transferred using the steps shown in this section.
