FTP
As we have seen in the introduction, an FTP is a File Transfer Protocol and it is needed to update/publish a website.

To use an FTP you need to have an account, this account generally consists in:

- FTP host address
- username
- password

When you buy a domain or a host for your website, the company you are byuing it from assigns you a username and a password, which are needed to log into your account. They also give you the host address for your website which represents the address where all your files are stored.

In Dreamweaver we have an embeeded FTP. To set it go to Site --> New Site and set the parameters of your FTP.

From now on every file you create into the folder you specified when setting up the site will be considered as part of the site.
If the site is defined, when you open a file you can select Site --> Put and by this command Dreamweaver will set up a connection with your host, log in with your username and password and upload the selected file. Dreamweaver will also ask you to save it if the file is not saved and to include the dipendent elements (images, css, htm...) in the upload.

You can also browse your local and rempote folder by slecting Window --> Site. From this window you can easily explore the remote and local folder and easily drag and drop files.
