How do I upload via FTP in Dreamweaver?

Once your web site created in Dreamweaver is complete and ready for publication all you have to do is to upload it to the public_html directory on your account via FTP. You can initiate the FTP transfer directly through the Macromedia Dreamweaver program itself.

If you haven't already done so do the following to setup the "Remote Info" for your site within Dreamweaver:

- In Dreamweaver Choose Site > Edit Sites (or Define Sites)
- Choose the site you wish to upload > Click Edit
- If prompted choose Advanced
- In the Category list highlight/select Remote Info
- Pull down the Access drop-down menu and choose FTP
- In the FTP Host field type
ftp.yourdomain.com
- In the Host Directory box type public_html/
- In the Login field type your account username
- In the Password field type your account password
- Check the "Save" box (leave the other boxes such as
"Use Firewall", "Use Passive FTP" etc unchecked)
- Click OK > Click Done

You should now be ready to publish. For more information click here.
