sheryltoo Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I just bought Dreamweaver to design my website and I have to set up the server in order to upload it to my site but I have no idea what to put in each line. It first asks for a server name and I don't know what that should be. Then it says connect using ftp. Next it asks for the ftp address and shows 21 for the port. I know what to put for username and password. Then it asks for a root directory and a web url. I figure my website is what I use for url but I don't know what I'm suppose to use for anything else. I hope someone here can help me. Oh and I bought dreamweaver cs6. Quote

TCH-Dick Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I forgot to add, Server Name is just an identifier and can be whatever you prefer. Quote
sheryltoo Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks so much. That did help me a lot. The server name kind of threw me. I thought I needed to know what server totalchoice was on and then I just wasn't sure what needed to go in each of the fields. When I set this all up, my web url automatically showed up but with /public_html/ at the end. I assume that's because that's where all my files get stored. I tested it out and it said I was successful. Now I just need to figure out how to actually use Dreamweaver and create my site with it. I've been using Microsoft Expression Web 4 and actually like it but I saw an add that said Dreamweaver had the WYSIWYG editor and lets you create pages that can be used on various devices so I thought I'd buy it. I think I'm going to head to a book store today and find a dummy book to help me figure out how to use the program. I am totally lost. Quote
jopaislies Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 So I have been trying to connect by FTP with Dreamweaver and I keep getting an error code. I know this is an old post on the forum but I was wondering what may have changed when setting up FTP in Dreamweaver. I have Dreamweaver CC. I tried setting everything up like the sample posted but it does not work. I am using my CPanel Username and Password for the FTP username and password. Any suggestions would be appreciated jo Quote
