Datasheet

Can I set up a Dreamweaver
site for an existing Web site?
Yes. The process is basically
the same for a new Web site
or an existing Web site.
During the setup, you enter a
path to the Web site files. For
a new Web site, the path
points to a new empty
directory; for an existing site,
the path points to a directory
that contains the existing Web
site files.
How do I set up the
Dreamweaver site for an
existing site if the Web site
files are currently located
only at the Remote site?
You can set up a Local site
and then copy the files into
the Local site. Copy the entire
folder structure from the
Remote site into the Local
site, not just the individual
files, so that Dreamweaver
does not upload files to the
wrong location.
What is the Basic option for
setting up a new
Dreamweaver site?
The Basic option provides a
wizard that prompts for
information one step at a
time. If you click the Basic
tab at the top of the Site
Definition window,
Dreamweaver starts the
wizard that guides you
through the steps required
to create a new site. This
procedure is slower, but can
be useful if you are new to
developing Web sites.
The Site Definition dialog box appears,
displaying the Local Info section of the
Advanced tab.
