1. Start Dreamweaver MX and click "New Site" in the "Site" menu. 2. In the window that opens click the "Advanced" tab. In the "Site Name" field give your site a name (this is not the title of your actual web site, only a name that Dreamweaver uses for site management). For "Local Root Folder" browse by hitting the folder icon and locate the folder where you placed all your files and folders for your web site. For "Default Images Folder" browse to the images folder whithin your local root folder. Enter your web site's URL in th "HTTP Address" field (eg: http://www.example.com) Keep "Enable Cache" checked. 3. Now click to the "Remote Info" item on the left menu. Select FTP from the "Access" drop down list. In the "FTP Host" field enter either your FTP host (if it has fully propogated) otherwise use the server IP . Now this important. In the "Host Directory" field enter the web files upload path specified in your welcome email (eg: /www.example.com/htdocs/). If this field is any different your site will not be seen when people go to your domain. For the "Login" field enter your FTP username and for the "Password" field enter your FTP password. You can check the save box if you want Dreamweaver to save your password so you don't have to enter it each time you upload. Leave all other boxes unchecked unless you know what you are using them for. You should not need to check any of the boxes on this screen unless you are behind a firewall. Consult your documentation and/or network administrator for more information on using FTP services through a firewall. You can now press "OK". 4. Select the connection you just created ("Hostaggio" in our example) from the "Site" drop down list then click the connect button (looks like a plug) on the toolbar. 5. Dreamweaver will connect to your FTP server and will show the files on the server in the left panel. To upload all the files click the blue up arrow on the toolbar. If you want to upload only some of the files simply drag and drop them from the right window to the left window. 6. If you choose to publish the entire site you will be prompted for confirmation. Click "OK". 7. After your files are published you should see them in the left window.
