One of Dreamweaver??™s key site-management features enables you to select just the HTML pages for
publication; Dreamweaver then automatically transfers all the associated files, creating any needed folders in
the process. The mirror images of your local and remote site roots are critical to Dreamweaver??™s capability to
expedite your workload in this way.
If you do decide to transfer an existing Web site to a new Dreamweaver local site root, run
Dreamweaver??™s Link Checker after you??™ve consolidated all your files. Choose Site ??? Check
Links Sitewide or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F8 (Command+F8). The Link Checker informs you of
broken links and orphan files.
To set up a local site root folder in Dreamweaver, follow these steps:
1. Choose Site ??? Manage Sites.
2. In the Manage Sites dialog, choose New and select Site from the submenu to open the Site
Definition dialog box. The Site Definition dialog box opens, as shown in Figure 5-6. If the
Advanced tab is not already selected, select it now.
If the root folder you have chosen is the same as another site folder, a prompt appears. If you
have intentionally chosen the same folder, it??™s safe to ignore the warning and click OK to close
it. However, using the same folder for multiple sites is not a typical practice, and it should be undertaken
only by advanced users.
