Dreamweaver 2004 MX and Abyss

[jpraught]

You'll have to excuse me, sort of new to the area of web design. I have used netObjects fusion before to make websites and I want to try out dreamweaver because people say that its better. With netObjects, there is this great button to push where you can publish your entire site to a local folder on your computer, specifically the htdocs folder in the Abyss folder. Its quite simple and all the images, fonts, javascript, php, and every other folder is published there and the website shows up great.

Now since my transition to Dreamweaver, I have found this task quite a bit more complicated. I have a few more options and I cannot publish any of my files to the htdocs folder in the Abyss directory. I've tried to find documentation to do this but all I can find is how to FTP my site to a remote folder somewhere on a remote computer, but because I am hosting my website from my computer this option is not useful. Can somebody tell me how to publish the entire contents of my site with Dreamweaver to the htdocs folder?

DW makes it increadibly easy to manage your site...

use DW's MANAGE WEB SITE pannel.. Setup your site (local, test, remote)...LOCAL being the copy you work on , TEST being a development/test server -optional-, and REMOTE...the live server you push you site to.

Just need to input the paths to the locations for your LOCAL and REMOTE folders and when you update a page...hit the PUT button and it's uploaded.

Can't get any easier than that...
