4. When the files are uploading, you'll see a pop up screen in your Dreamweaver.
5. There are several ways to PUT transfer files to your remote server. These include (1)
highlighting the file in your menu and right click and select PUT, and (2) click on the
Expand/Collapse button
, then the Connects to
the Remote Host
button. From here you can drop and drag files.
UPLOADING FILES NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE GACC (WEB) SITE FOLDER
There are times when files need to be transferred from a folder outside of the GACC (web) site
folder. The FTP process allows this without any problems, however, WebDAV, inconjuction with
Dreamweaver, currently does not allow this process (or at least we haven't figured it out, yet).
Only files within the GACC (web) site can be transferred. Therefore, we have to find a process
that will allow us to do this.
Dan Ervin is currently working on finding a method. Initial evaluation indicates the best option
available right now will be using Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater, or Windows Explorer to upload
these files. Hopefully, we'll know something the week of June 6. At that time we'll send out the
steps.
In the meantime, if you want to go ahead with production and you need this process, the
recommendation is to leave those files on the old server and link to them through Dreamweaver.
Once we've figured out the best process to transfer these files, then the links on your pages can
be changed.
USING CONTRIBUTE
Some GACCS may be using Contribute as a supplement to Dreamweaver. Contribute is a less
expensive way for folks to update web files within a (web) site. It's also a good way to keep the
user from accidentally changing any protected links established by the web manager of the site.
If you will be using Contribute, you'll need to acquire Contribute 3.0 in order for WebDAV to
work. WebDAV is not built into Versions 2.0 and earlier.
