 How do I set up Dreamweaver to connect to my hosting account via FTP?
Article The first thing that you must do is set up a local copy of your site. For now, this could just be an empty folder. Next, you will want to open Dreamweaver and choose 'Site' > 'New Site' from the pull-down menu at top. On the 'Local Info' screen, be sure to point the path to the folder you have set up on your local machine (or network if applicable). With this information entered, choose 'Remote Info' from the menu on the left. From the 'Remote Access' drop-down box, choose 'FTP.' In the 'Remote Info' screen, type in your FTP host resembling the structure 'ftp.yourdomain.com' Under 'Host Directory,' type '/web' if you want Dreamweaver to start looking in the folder where the LIVE site is contained. Supply your username in the 'Login' field and your password in the 'Password' field. If you are behind a firewall, it is suggested that you place a check next to 'Use Passive FTP' and 'Use Firewall' From this screen, choose OK.
