Web Publishing with Dreamweaver

---

To upload/publish your web pages using Dreamweaver, please follow the steps detailed below. We have provided screenshots wherever possible. Dreamweaver is not a free program offered for home installation but can be found in public labs across the campus. Below are instructions on how to publish using the program.

1. Open the Dreamweaver program. You will need to either open webpages saved to your local computer or create a new website. You may also connect to pages.cabrini.edu if you have a Cabrini website with existing active pages.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Once you are ready to publish changes to your website or access already existing pages click on the Site menu at the top and choose Manage Sites.
   
   ,
   
   
   
3. Create a New Site.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click on the Advanced Tab and fill out the information as shown below. You will want to give your site a name and also choose a local root folder where your website will be stored until you are ready to publish it to the web server. Give your site a meaningful name and choose a location that is easy to access and remember.
   
   
   
   
5. Before you click OK, navigate on the left hand side of the screen to Remote Info.
   Change Access to: FTP
   Change FTP Host to: pages.cabrini.edu
   Change Host Directory to: web
   Change Login to: your Cabrini username
   Change Password to: your password
   
   Be sure to check: Use Secure FTP (SFTP)
   You may check or uncheck "automatically upload..." or "enable file check..." depending on your preference.
   
   Click OK when finished.
   
   
   
   
6. Your site information will be saved for future use. Click Done to connect to pages.cabrini.edu.
   
   
   
   
7. At this point you will either want to open up your website on your local machine, create new webpages or pull over existing webpages to the center screen workspace from your Cabrini webspace located on the right hand side of the program. After you have worked on your website from any of those locations go to the file menu at the top and choose save to remote server. (If you would like to keep a copy of your website on your local computer (which ITR recommends) be sure to do a File->Save or File->Save As to a location on your computer just as a backup)
   
   
   
   
8. When you choose Save to remote server a new screen will open. This screen represents your Cabrini webspace and all the files and folders located in it. Navigate to where you'd like to save the webpage you've made changes to and click save. Be sure to name each page uniquely. (ex. index.htm)
   
   
   

From that point continue to create new pages, edit existing ones from your local computer or drag from the right hand side of the screen (pages.cabrini.edu) and make changes to active pages. Always save to the remote server for changes to take affect. Remember to save a copy of your work somewhere on your computer for backup and reference purposes.
