Using Adobe Dreamweaver to transfer files to the IPA server

This document is in reference to Adobe Dreamweaver CS3/8. Other versions likely operate in a similar fashion.

This document also assumes the user posesses knowledge of Adobe Dreamweaver, and how to publish a website. It is not the intent of this document, nor the IPA, to provide the knowledge on how to use the software package itself.

Images and guidelines for this tutorial were taken, with permission, from a similar tutorial created by the Division of Information Technology Services, and the University of Western Ontario.

Open your website or document in Adobe Dreamweaver.

1. Select the "Sites" menu, and choose the "Manage Sites..." option

Dreamweaver Manage Sites Menu

3. In the 'Site Definintion' dialog that appears:

  1. Choose the 'Advanced' tab.
  2. Choose the 'Remote Info' category.

What you should see is pictured below:
