Datasheet

Are the Web site files
automatically moved when you
move the Dreamweaver site?
No. Only the site settings are
included in the file that contains
the exported site. One of the
settings is the path to the root
directory where the Web site files
are stored.
You must move the actual Web
site files separately. You can copy
the files on the new computer
into a folder with the same path,
so that the current path is
correct. Or, you can change the
path to the root directory after
you import the site, setting the
path so that the Dreamweaver
site looks for the Web site files
in a different folder.

Dreamweaver imports the site and lists its

What does the file that contains the exported site look
like?
The file contains the settings for the Dreamweaver site in XML
format. The file begins with an XML tag, such as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
Next, it starts each line of site information with a site tag, as
follows:
<site>
The file then includes various settings. It includes information on
the local site, starting with a tag resembling the following:
<localinfo sitename= "DreamweaverBook" ...
After the local site tag, the file contains a tag for the remote
site, similar to the following:
<remoteinfo accesstype="ftp" host="janet.valade.
com" ...
The file contains other tags containing other site settings.
