One of the best things about Dreamweaver
is that it’s easy to connect to a web host like lunarpages.
Use Dreamweaver’s
“site” command to tell Dreamweaver
where your website files are stored on your computer (the
“local” location of your website) and then tell
Dreamweaver
your web host account info (the “remote” location
of your website).
This
way, when you make a new page, with the click of a button it’s
uploaded (sent via your internet connection) to your web host—and
to your website on the internet.
BTW, instead of the term “upload,” Dreamweaver
uses the term “put”—it “puts”
files up into your host account folder.
Via Dreamweaver,
you have complete access to the folder your web host is keeping
for you. You can make changes or add and subtract stuff with
ease.
In a nutshell, you will do all of your work from your local
folders (the ones on your personal computer), then upload
everything to your remote folders (the ones stored at your
web host)—all within Dreamweaver.
Whatever pages you send to your remote folders will be available
on your website.
You pretty much never even have to get on the web and go
to your lunarpages
account to do anything to your website. Once you’re
set up, Dreamweaver
will handle everything!
