Site Definition for your personal site
When you first begin creating a web site in Dreamweaver, you'll need
to configure the settings for that site. After this first setup,
Dreamweaver will automatically open with this site ready to be used.
- Go to the Sites menu and select Manage Sites...
- Click the New button and select New Site from the menu that
appears.
- Click on the Advanced tab at the top of the window.
- Enter a short, easy to remember name for the site (this is never
made public)
- Click on the folder icon to the right of the box labeled "Local
Root Folder"
- Select the folder (on your computer) where the template files
are located. If you are not using a template, select the folder
where you will be storing your web files.
- Click the "Remote Info" category on the left side of the window.
- Under Access:, select FTP
- Enter the following information
- FTP Host: flightline.highline.edu
- Host Directory: <leave blank>
- Login: Type "ic\Your Username". For example: ic\juser.
- Password: Your IC Password (This is the same password you
use to access labs, voting, and entry codes.
See IC Help for details.)
- Click the "Test" button. If the test fails, write down the error
message and contact IC Help (ichelp@highline.edu).
- Click OK
Site Definition for a different site
If you are defining a site other than your personal site, such as a
department site on which you author, follow the example shown in the
figure below. The illustration example is of a site on the Flightline
server.
