To find a file in your local site: 1 Select the file in the Remote Site view of the Site window or open the file in a Document window. 2 Choose Site > Locate in Local Site. (On Windows only, if the Site window is active, choose Edit > Locate in Local Site.) The file is highlighted in the Local Folder of the Site window. To find a file in your remote site: 1 Select the file in the Local folder of the Site window or open the file in a Document window. 2 Choose Site > Locate in Remote Site. (On Windows only, if the Site window is active, choose Edit > Locate in Remote Site.) You can also select the file in the Local Folder and right-click (Windows) control-click (Macintosh) and choose Locate in Remote Site from the context menu. The file is highlighted in the Remote Site view of the Site window. Note: If you select Site > Locate in Local Site or Site > Locate in Remote Site while the Document window is active, and if the current file is not part of the currently open site, Dreamweaver attempts to determine which of your locally defined sites the current file belongs to; if the current file belongs to only one local site, Dreamweaver opens that site and then locates the file in it. Setting up a remote site Before you set up a remote site, create a local site (which you will then associate with the remote site). See "Using Dreamweaver to set up a new site" on page 102. The next step in setting up a remote site is to determine where the site will be located-that is, what server the site will be served from. Your client, employer, or ISP probably has a server already set up to serve Web pages (whether Internet or intranet); ask a system administrator or your client for the name of that server, and find out how to transfer files to that server. In particular, determine whether to use FTP to connect to the server, or whether you can instead mount the server as a network-accessible disk drive from your desktop. If you're connecting using FTP, find out the name of the FTP server and determine the host directory, as well as login and password information. When you've gathered this information, use the Define Sites command to associate the server with your local site. If you encounter problems setting up your remote site, see "Troubleshooting remote site setup" on page 130. After you've set up a remote site, you can upload files to it, or download files from it if there are already files on the site. See "Using Check In/Check Out" on page 131 and "Getting and putting files" on page 143. Site Management and Collaboration 123
