130 Tutorial: Publishing Your Site
The procedures described in this tutorial work best if your remote root
folder is empty. If your remote site already contains files, create an empty
folder in your remote site (on the server), and use that empty folder as your
remote root folder.
You also need to have a local site defined before you proceed. For more
information, see
“Tutorial: Setting Up Your Site and Project Files”
on page 49 .
For more information about Dreamweaver sites, see Chapter 2, “Setting
Up a Dreamweaver Site” in
Using Dreamweaver
.
Define a remote folder
Now you’ll set up a remote folder so that you can publish your web pages.
The remote folder often has the same name as the local folder because your
remote site is usually an exact duplicate of your local site. That is, the files
and subfolders that you post to your remote folder are copies of the files
and subfolders that you create locally.
1.
On your remote server, create an empty folder inside the web root folder
for the server.
Name the new empty folder cafe_townsend (the same name as your
local root folder).
