Publishing from Dreamweaver


D2J

Recommended Posts

G'day all, I've now become a dreamweaver convert having laid my hands on Dreamweaver 8..

 

I was once shown how to publish my site but to be honest, as I've usually worked in Frontpage and various other programs I've forgotten how. Do I really have to do this via FTP or is there a way I can just click here and there and it will publish (a little like Frontpage does)

You normally get that info when you sign up with your ISP D.

 

Maybe you could mail them to get the details?

 

On ours, using 'core ftp lite' (freeware)

 

'Host' is 'homepages.nildram.co.uk' (our ISP)

 

'Username' is the username registered with the ISP

 

'Password' - as registered with your ISP

 

'Port' on ours is 21, timeout is 6.

 

No use to you at all though if you don't know the password and stuff though :roll:

 

How's the Guiness? :)

How's the Guiness? :)

 

Hasn't been tested enough to provide conclusive results yet ;)

 

When I set up to manage a site in Dreamweaver 8 this is what it asks for when I proceed

 

' How do you connect to your remote server ' (which i assume is my website)

 

then;

'What is the ftp address of your server' (which I assume is my domain but instead of www it will be ftp.)

 

This is the one I don't know 'What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?'

 

I know my FTP account and password which I set up in my domain control panel.

 

Why do I need the ISP details?? I've never needed it before :confused:

I am assuming you have webspace at your account with your ISP.

If so you use FTP protocol to upload your web pages and files to that space.

 

You usually have a copy of the whole website on your own hard disk and you copy everything to the remote webspace ( the live webspace at your ISP )

 

e.g.

if you use blueyonder you need to enter.

ftp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk

 

if you use plusnet

ftp.force9.net
