Creating a remote folder with Dreamweaver If Dreamweaver is your only means of access to the
remote server, you won’t be able to create an empty folder on the remote server until you’ve completed
the remote settings in Dreamweaver and established a connection. If that’s the case, you can either
define your host directory as your remote folder, or you can create a remote folder after you’ve
established a connection with the server. In either case, continue with the instructions in this tutorial until
you’re connected to a remote server. After you’ve established a connection, you can use the
Dreamweaver Files panel to create a new remote folder.
When you establish a connection with a remote server, the Files panel displays all of the files on the
remote server in Remote view (just as it displays all of the local files on your computer in Local view). To
display Remote view, select Remote view from the pop-up menu at the top of the Files panel, or click
Expand/Collapse in the Files panel toolbar. When you click Expand/Collapse, the Files panel displays
both Local view and Remote view simultaneously.
To add an empty folder in Remote view, first display Remote view using one of the methods described
earlier. (If you don’t see your connection initially, click Refresh in the Files panel toolbar.) After you see
that you’re connected to your web server, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) in Remote
view and select New Folder.
