To export a site to a local drive
1
Open the site.
2
Choose File > Export > Site.
3
If the Export Site Options dialog box appears, review the options and make changes as needed. The changes you
make apply to the current export only.
4
Click Export. By default, the settings in the Export Site Options dialog are identical to those in the Site Settings
under Upload/Export.
5
Specify a location on a local drive for the exported root folder of the site.
6
Click Save.
7
Click Yes or No. Clicking Yes displays information about the export: the files exported, the files not exported and
the reasons they weren’t exported, and the export options used.
Note:
If you want the Export Site Options dialog box to appear each time you export a site, choose Edit > Preferences
(Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS), expand the Site settings, click Upload/Export and make sure the Show
Options Before Export Dialog option is selected.
To upload a site you have exported to a local drive
❖
Drag the exported root folder or its contents to its destination folder in the file browser window.
You cannot use an Upload command from the Site > Publish Server submenu or the Upload button on the toolbar
for this operation.
Drag the contents of the folder if dragging the folder itself would create an unnecessary extra folder level on the server.

Setting up distributed websites
About distributed websites
Distributed websites are spread across several servers, or subsites. If you plan to distribute your website, you can still
develop and test the site as a whole on your local file system. To do so, you need to set up the distributed site with
URL mappings between local addresses and server addresses.
The advantage of URL mappings is that you can easily manage multiple sites without having to rewrite URLs or
duplicate files. The sites may share many of the same files and may even link to each other.
