Site preferences
As your Web site takes shape, you spend more time with the Files panel portion of Dreamweaver. The Site
category, shown in Figure 4-13, enables you to customize the look-and-feel of your site, as well as to enter
essential connection information. The available Site preferences are described in the following sections.
Always Show Local/Remote Files On The Right/Left option
The full-screen Files panel is divided into two panes: one showing local files and one showing remote files
on the server. By default, Dreamweaver puts the local pane on the right and the remote pane on the left.
However, Dreamweaver enables you to customize that option. Like many designers, I??™m used to using other
FTP programs in which the remote files are on the right and the local files on the left; Dreamweaver enables
me to work the way I??™m used to working.
To switch the layout of your expanded Files panel, switch to full-screen mode and open the Site preferences.
Select the file location you want to change to (Local Files or Remote Files) from the Always Show
drop-down list or select the panel you want to change to (Right or Left) from the On The drop-down list. Be
careful not to switch both options or you end up where you started!
