 * Resolution:**

DIRECTIONS

1. Open Dreamweaver, and click the "Dreamweaver Sites" listed on the opening screen.

2. Begin by "naming" your site. This is an informal name by which user can identify files locally (on hard-drive, for example, as opposed to the server). Choose a name like "PhilaU Faculty page." Again, this is an informal name by which the user of Dreamweaver can organize his files. When done, click the "Next" button.

3. If prompted as to whether or not to use a "server technology" (ASP, PHP, etc.) choose "No." When done, click the "Next" button.

4. You will now be prompted regarding how files will be stored and/or transferred. Please select "edit files locally on your machine then upload as needed [recommended]"

5. Verify where on your PC local files should be stored (default is /my documents/X where X is the name from step 4. When done, click the "Next" button.

6. You will now be asked how to connect. **Choose "FTP"** and additional options will show

7. The hostname for faculty web site is **students.philau.edu**

8. The folder name on the server will be blank

9. The FTP login should be entered as **student\davis2** (in my example; lastname, number for all, just like e-mail account)

10. The password is your standard network password. When done, click the "Test Connection" button.

11. If connection is successful, then click the "Next" button.

12. You will be asked to allow for file check-in/check-out. Choose yes. Further options appear.

13. Select "Dreamweaver should check files out" (as oppossed to read-only copy)

14. Enter name and email address so that you may be identified in the check-in/check-out environment. Then click "Finish" or "Next."

16. Click on the "expand to show local and remote sites" icon located on the far right- hand corner of the "Files" tab icon bar.

17. Then click on the icon of the Blue arrow pointing up, this is the "Put" icon, to upload any changes made on your local files to the remote server.
