Using the Advanced settings to set up a Dreamweaver site

You can use the Advanced settings of the Site Definition dialog box to set up a Dreamweaver site.
The Advanced settings enable you to set up local, remote, and testing (for processing dynamic
pages) folders individually, as necessary. This method is recommended for users who have
experience with using Dreamweaver.
Note: To get started quickly, you can just start with the first step of setting up a Dreamweaver site,
setting up your local folder. Then, you can add remote and testing information later. You should at
least set up a local folder before you start using Dreamweaver.
If you are new to Dreamweaver, you can use the Site Definition Wizard, instead of the Advanced
settings, to guide you through the setup process. (See

62.)
If you are setting up a Dreamweaver site for a web application, skip this section and see
Chapter 23, "Setting Up a Web Application," on page
Tip: After you set up a Dreamweaver site, it's a good idea to export the site so that you have a local
backup copy. For more information, see
