working with dreamweaver and hosting (part 2)

It is a bit annoying when everytime I coded in dreamweaver then use Filezilla to drag all my my files into right place as coursework1. after playing dreamweaver for ages, I find out 1 easy way to connect direclty to university hosting, it directs every data values I coded toward to testing server, besides, I can create new folder or new web page in the hosting server without help from Filezilla. everthing gonna be easy with Dreamweaver.

Here I use FTP method to connect directly to testing server. To start with, Go on Site tab => choose Manage Sites.


A dialog box appeared and I clicked on New button, it showed me 2 options, choose FTP&RDS Server


Another dialog appeared afterward with many textfields, I fill in the name, FTP host, host directory, login and password, then click on Test button to test connection. If a box show web browser is connected scuccessfully. that is fine. but if it say FTP connection fail, a problem may be wrong login or password or wrong FTP host.



Connection is fine then on right hand side, we will see on File tab, an option button with a name of my current connected site then Option button called Local View . To see all files we have on testing server, I drop down down Local View, then select Remote View. A folder called "coursework1" that I want to work with, list all files inside.


On the final stage, my purpose is satysfied.
