Laying the Groundwork in Dreamweaver CS3 Part I
FIGURE 5-6
Set up your local site root through the Site Definition dialog box.
9. If you??™d like to make sure that your links match files??™ names, including their case, choose the Use
Case-Sensitive Link Checking option. This option is most helpful when your site is hosted on a
Unix server that relies on case-sensitive filenames.
10. For fastest performance, select the Enable Cache option. Having a site cache enables Dreamweaver
to store information that makes certain key site tasks, such as link updates, run faster.
Specifying the remote site
In addition to defining the local site root, you must specify information pertaining to the remote site. The
remote site may be a folder accessed through the local network or via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). If your
remote site is located on the local network??”in this arrangement, the remote site is often said to be on a
staging server??”all you do is select or create the particular folder to house the remote site. At the appropriate
time, the network administrator or other designated person from the Information Technology department
exports the files from the staging server to the Web or intranet server.
Many Dreamweaver developers have a Web server located on their development system, making
it possible to have both the local and remote sites on the same machine.
