Create your Dreamweaver site

Create a Dreamweaver site

Now we need to create our basic web site, which you’ll use through the rest of the class.

Creating local and remote folders (on our lab server) will confirm that you can indeed connect to the server.

In Dreamweaver:

Create a new site (Site > New Site)

In the Site Definition dialog box, under Local Site category, set the following:

Name: DW PHP Site

Local folder: your local website folder

Under the Remote Site category, set the following:

Host: 192.168.1.109

Directory: public_html/webuser00
(substitute your account name for webuser00)

Password: student

Use SFTP

Use the Test button to make sure you can connect.

When you’ve verified that the connection is working, click OK to close the dialog box and create the site.
