Setting-up a website with Dreamweaver

  1. For a new website, you must first create with Windows Explorer a folder on your local disk in which your website will be developed, as well as a dummy index.htm file (file- new - text document - rename it index.htm).
     
  2. Open Dreamweaver.
     In the top menu, click: "Site - New site...", select the "Advanced" tab.
     
  3. Select "Local Info" in the left menu:
    • Site name: the name you want Dreamweaver to call this website
      (typically "yourdomain.ext")
    • Local root folder: Select the folder on your local disk in which your local website is being developed (for a new website, the one created in 1. above)
    • HTTP address: "http://www.yourdomain.ext" (see here)
    • Check the "Cache enable" and "Refresh local file list automatically" boxes.
       
  4. Select "Remote Info" in the left menu:
    • Access: FTP
    • FTP host: "yourdomain.ext" (or "yourIPaddress" - see here)
    • Host directory: "www/" or "public_html/"
    • Login: "your-user-name" (the username you were given when opening your JSM-Hosting account - see here)
    • Password: "your-password" (the password you were given when opening your JSM-Hosting account - see here)
    • Check the following boxes: "save", "use passive FTP", "maintain synchronization information"
    • Finally, click on "Test" to ensure that your FTP info is correct.
       
  5. Select "Site map layout " in the left menu:
    • Home page: the index.htm file in the root directory of the folder in which your your website is being developed
       
  6. Click the "OK" button. You're done!
     

JSM-Hosting wishes you a nice day!
