Synchronizing Your Site

You can publish files onto the web server a couple different ways in Dreamweaver.

1. Put: Highlight the file(s) in the Site window and press the "put" button .
   
2. If you are not connected to the web server, Dreamweaver will connect automatically and upload the file. Dreamweaver will also ask if you would like to put dependent files onto the server, too. Dependent files are images and graphics used in the file you are editing, as well as any other documents you link to from your web page.
   
   
3. Synchronize: In your Site window, choose Synchronize. This option will look at both the files on the web server and the files in your local folder, and will synchronize your site to the newest versions of each file. If you edit a file on your local folder, synchronize will update the same file on the web server. If someone else updates a file on the web server, synchronize will automatically download the updated version of the file to your hard drive.
