Working with Dreamweaver sites
Last updated 3/28/2012
Edit an existing remote website
You can use Dreamweaver to copy an existing remote site (or any branch of a remote site) to your local disk and edit
it there, even if you didn’t use Dreamweaver to create the original site. You must have the correct connection
information, and connect to the site’s remote server, before you can edit the site.
1 Create a local folder to contain the existing site and set up the folder as the local folder for the site. (See “Set up a
local version of your site” on page 35.)
Note: You must locally duplicate the entire structure of the relevant branch of the existing remote site.
2 Set up a remote folder, using the remote access information about the existing site. You must connect to the remote
site to download the files to your computer before you can edit them. (See
Connect to a remote server” on page 36.)
Make sure to choose the correct root folder for the remote site.
3 In the Files panel (Window > Files), click the Connects To Remote Host button (for FTP access) or the Refresh
button (for network access) in the toolbar to view the remote site.
4 Edit the site:
If you want to work with the entire site, select the root folder of the remote site in the Files panel, and click Get
File(s) in the toolbar to download the entire site to your local disk.
If you want to work with just one of the files or folders of the site, locate the file or folder in the Remote view of the
Files panel, and click Get File(s) in the toolbar to download that file to your local disk.
Dreamweaver automatically duplicates as much of the remote site’s structure as is necessary to place the downloaded
file in the correct part of the site hierarchy. When editing only one part of a site, you should generally include
dependent files, such as image files.

Editing an existing website (Dreamweaver blog)
Set site preferences for transferring files
You select preferences to control file transfer features that appear in the Files panel.
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 In the Preferences dialog box, select Site from the category list on the left.
3 Set the options and click OK.
Always Show Specifies which site (remote or local) is always shown, and in which Files panel pane (left or right) the
local and remote files appear.
By default, the local site always appears on the right. Whichever pane is not chosen (the left one by default) is the
changeable pane: this pane can display the files in the other site (the remote site by default).
Dependent Files Displays a prompt for transferring dependent files (such as images, external style sheets, and other
files referenced in the HTML file) that the browser loads when it loads the HTML file. By default, both Prompt on
Get/Check Out and Prompt on Put/Check In are selected.
