To edit an existing remote site:
1
Create a local folder to contain the existing site, then set it up as the local root
folder for the site (see “Using Dreamweaver to set up a new site” on page 102).
2
Set up a remote site, using information about your existing site. See “Setting up
a remote site” on page 123. Be sure to choose the correct root folder for
the remote site.
3
Connect to the remote site using the Connect button in the Site window.
4
Depending on how much of the remote site you want to edit, do one of
the following:
•
If you want to work with the entire site, select the root folder of the remote site,
and click Get 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 pane of the Site window, and click Get File(s) 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 choose to include dependent files.
5
Proceed as if creating a site from scratch: edit documents, preview and test
them, and upload them again to the remote site.
For more information about site management, see “Site Management and
Collaboration” on page 107.

If you no longer want to work with a site in Dreamweaver, you can remove the site
