More importantly, Dreamweaver enables you to synchronize
your local and remote sites with one command.
Security is a prime concern among many Webmasters, and many developers have switched to using Secure
FTP (SFTP). Dreamweaver lists SFTP among its supported file-transfer flavors.
Not all the files found in your local site need to be uploaded to the remote site. Dreamweaver includes a feature
called cloaking, which permits the designer to designate folders that should be excluded during synchronization
operations.
You can work with sites originating from a local folder, such as one on your own hard drive. Or, in a collaborative
team environment, you can work with sites being developed on a remote server. Dreamweaver
enables you to set up an unlimited number of sites to include the source and destination directories, FTP
usernames, passwords, and more.
The Dreamweaver Files panel, shown in Figure 2-22, is a visual interface in which you can click and drag
files or select a number of files and transfer them with the Get and Put buttons. You can even set the preferences
so the system automatically disconnects after remaining idle for a user-definable period of time.

Web sites can quickly outgrow the stage in which the designer can keep all the linked pages in mind.
