Publish the Website
Scenario 1:
It is easy to use a FTP program (example WS_FTP from IPSWITCH) to transfer these files to your site.

Most of us did that for our WebSearch projects.   Just ensure you have a default page (index.htm or default.htm) for your site and all the linked files are in the proper directory.   Some images files are placed usually place in a separate sub-directory \images and the hyper link is usually relative and not “hard-wired”  Example ..\images\image_files.   Check links after publishing.

Scenario 2:

Dreamweaver  will take care of all the relevant files are published to your site.

Steps to be taken.

1. Before you begin to create any html files, prepare your Site Definition.
2. At the Introduction Page, “Create New” Column, select “Dreamweaver Site ..”.
3. At the “Basic” tab, fill in the textbox to question: “What would you like to name your site”: Example: “WebQuest”
4. and to the question: “What is the HTTP Address (URL) of your site?” , fill in: Example: http://www.sfu.ca/~xyz” where xyz is your sfu id.
5. Click “Next” button
6. Now you have a decision to be made to the question “Do you want to work with a server technology?”

To select a server technology:

1. Select No if you do not plan to use a server technology to create a web application, or select Yes if you plan to use a server technology to create a web application.
2. If you select Yes, select a server technology.

You can use Dreamweaver to build web applications using five server technologies: Macromedia ColdFusion, ASP.NET, ASP, JSP, or PHP. Each of these technologies corresponds to a document type in Dreamweaver. Choosing one for your web application depends on several factors, including your level of comfort with various scripting languages and the application server you plan to use.

1. You have to decide how you want to work.  It is best to edit all your files locally (i.e. place the files in a local sub-directory) and when you are done with the design publish to a Test Site.   Allow many of your team members to access the Test Site using different web-browsers and , more importantly, different versions of the web-browsers to make sure that older versions of the web-browsers are supported. 
2. Now you have to decide how to publish your files.   Using FTP is most convenient.
3. If you choose FTP, fill in the details given by your Site Server Administrator.   Select the “Test Connection” button to make sure everything works and then select the “Save” checkbox for the future.

Example:          hostname: fraser.sfu.ca
                        Folder: /home/xyz/pub_html/webSearch_project
                        FTP login: xyz
                        Password: *****
            If everything is correct, you will get a message” Macromedia  Dreamweaver connected to your Web server successfully.”
       10.   If you have team members (for large web-site) you should select “Yes, enable check in and check out.”   This works like a library.   One member can check out the copy of a web-page to work on.   Until it is checked in, other members can view it but not edit it.   Finally, let Dreamweaver check it out and give your email address.
