How do I set up a site in Dreamweaver?

Here is a step-by-step procedure for setting up a site definition in Dreamweaver. In these examples, we assume the site being set up is www.test1.com.

Go to File > New Site. You will be greeted with the following screen:

- Make sure Local Info category is selected. - Enter a name for the site in Site Name. - Enter the directory on your hard disk where the web files are found in Local Root Folder. - Enter the URL of the site in HTTP Address. All unqualified links in your web pages will have this address appended.

- Select the Web Server Info category. - In the Server Access drop box, select FTP. The remaining text boxes will appear. - Enter your FTP Host name (test1.com). - Enter html as the Host Directory (unless your site is going into a subdirectory under html). - Enter your Login (test1) and your Password into the appropriate boxes.

- Select the Site Map Layout category. - Enter or browse in your home page (the page that is loaded when someone browses to www.test1.com). This is usually index.html or index.htm. - Press OK.
