Setting Up Your Site
Establishing local connections
After your site is on your Web server and fully operational, it consists of many files??”server-side pages, plain
HTML, graphics, and other media files??”that make up the individual Web pages. All these associated files
are kept on the server in one folder, which may use one or more subfolders. This main folder is called the
remote site root. In order for Dreamweaver to properly display your linked pages and embedded images??”just
as they are displayed online??”the program creates a mirror of your remote site on your local development
system. This primary mirror folder on your system is known as the local site root.
You must establish the local site root at the beginning of a project. This ensures that Dreamweaver duplicates
the complete structure of the Web development site when it comes time to publish your pages to the
Web.
