Using the File Management button
The File Management button, located at the top of the Document window next to the Quick
Export button, offers easy access to file-transport commands. You can use the File
Management button if your document lives in a Studio 8 site folder and if the site has access
to a remote server. Fireworks recognizes your folder as a site if you have used the Manage Site
dialog box in Dreamweaver 8 to define the target folder, or a folder that contains the target
folder, as the local root folder for a site.
The File Management button displays the following menu commands:
Get
copies the remote version of the file to the local site, overwriting the local file with the

enabled in Fireworks only if the Enable File Check In and Check Out option is enabled in
Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.

Dreamweaver for the site in which the document lives.
Undo Check Out undoes Check Out of the local file and checks it in, overwriting the local

commands can be used only for files that live in sites that use the Local/Network and
FTP transport methods. Files in sites that uses FTP or third-party transport methods
such as SourceSafe, WebDAV, and RDS cannot be transported to and from the remote
server from within Fireworks.
