Note: If you're working in a collaborative environment—that is, if others are working on the same files—you should not
disable Enable File Check In and Check Out. If other people are using the Check In/Check Out system with the site, you
should use that system as well.
To stop the file transfer at any time, click Cancel in the status dialog box.
Get files from a remote server using the Document window
1 Make sure the document is active in the Document window.
Do one of the following to get the file:
2
•
Select Site > Get.
• Click the File Management icon in the Document window toolbar, then select Get from the menu.
Note: If the current file is not part of the current site in the Files panel, Dreamweaver attempts to determine which locally
defined site the current file belongs to. If the current file belongs to only one local site, Dreamweaver opens that site, then
performs the Get operation.
Display the FTP log
❖
Click the Options menu in the upper-right corner of the Files panel, then select View > Site FTP Log.
Put files on a remote server
You can put files from the local site to the remote site, generally without changing the file's checked out status.
There are two common situations in which you might use the Put command instead of Check In:
•
You're not in a collaborative environment and you aren't using the Check In/Check Out system.
•
You want to put the current version of the file on the server but you're going to keep editing it.
Note: If you put a file that didn't previously exist on the remote site and you're using the Check In/Check Out system, the
file is copied to the remote site and is then checked out to you so that you can continue editing.
You can use the Files panel or the Document window to put files. Dreamweaver creates a log of file activity during
the transfer that you can view and save.
Dreamweaver also records all FTP file transfer activity. If an error occurs when you are transferring a file using FTP,
the Site FTP log can help you determine the problem.
