Setting-up a website with Dreamweaver

Open Dreamweaver.

1.  On the top menu, click: "Site - New site...", and enter in "Site":
• Site Name: the name you want Dreamweaver to call this website
  (typically "yourdomain.ext")
• Local Site Folder: Select the folder on your local disk in which your local website is being developed (for a new website, the one created in 1. above)
   
2. Select "Server" in the left menu then click on "+" and enter:
   
• Server Name: the name you want Dreamweaver to call this server configuration (for instance, "JSM-Hosting")
• Connect using: FTP
• FTP Address: "yourdomain.ext" (or "yourIPaddress" - see here)
• Username: "your-user-name" (the one you were given when opening your JSM-Hosting account - see here)
• Password: "your-password" (the one you were given when opening your JSM-Hosting account - see here)
• Root Directory: "www/" or "public_html/"
• Web URL: "http://www.yourdomain.ext" (see here)
• Click on "Test" to ensure that your FTP info is correct
• If it is, click on "Save", then on "Save" again.
   
3. Our server uses as default file extension ".htm" but DreamWeaver's default is ".html". To change it:
   •  On the top menu, click: "Edit", "Preferences..."
   • Select "New Document" in the left menu.
   • In "Default extension", enter ".htm".
   • Click on "OK". You're done!
