In this tutorial we will teach you how to define a site, because in order to do any work in Dreamweaver you will need to define your site. If not, dreamweaver will not know what server to code.
Click on the Site menu and select New Site.
A new window will pop up:
The Local Info category lets you give your site a name (put the name of your site, in this case I wrote Tutorial) and select a folder to work with. You can also select a folder for your images.
Then, enter the URL of your site, and enable the cache box.
Next go to the Testing Server this section allows you to tell dreamweaver which server model you want to use. I have selected ASP with VBScript. The testing server can be your own computer. In that case, do as follows:
Access, select the Local/Network.
Testing Server Folder, select the folder where you have your web files on your computer.
URL Prefix, write: http://localhost
But, if you don't have your computer as a testing server you will have to choose FTP instead of Local Network in the Access area. Then you will have to fill in the spaces with the info of your FTP server (including your login and password). At the URL Prefix you will have to write your URL,for example: http://www.designerstoday.com
