Chapter 17. Moving Your Site to the Internet
Building web pages on your computer is a big accomplishment, but it’s not the whole job. Your beautifully designed and informative site will languish in obscurity unless you move it from your hard drive to a web server.
Fortunately, once your site is ready for prime time, you can put it on a server without ever leaving the comfort of Dreamweaver. The program includes simple commands for transferring files back and forth between the server and your desktop. All you need to do is provide Dreamweaver with the information it needs to connect to your server.
Note
Dreamweaver CS6 includes many enhancements to its file transfer abilities. It’s now a lot faster, allowing multiple, simultaneous connections to a server. In other words, the old Dreamweaver transferred files one at a time, but now the program can send multiple files at once.
