IMAGE LAB: Dreamweaver: FTP

FTPing using Dreamweaver's internal program isn't recommended because Dreamweaver's interface tends to do all of the work. While this can be a great thing, it also means that it's extremely difficult to help if problems do arise. Instead, we recommend that you FTP using WS_FTP or Fetch. Both are available as free downloads from the NWE pages, and we have extensive help on both.

If you choose to use Dreamweaver FTP and have trouble connecting, please remember to put the full path name in for your remote site. For the NWE, this is:
/home/department/username/public_html/

For example, if your username is jdoe and you're in the English Department, you would enter:
/home/english/jdoe/public_html/

For your CLAS space (the I drive area that connects to http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/username/), you would use this format for the remote site:
//clas/web/users/username/
In the example above, you'll just change your username, the word 'users' should remain as 'users'.
