Site name: Creates a name for your defined site. Remember, this is merely a name for the reference made between Dreamweaver and the files on your local computer. Local root folder: Add the path to the files on your local computer here. Refresh local file list automatically: Deselect this option to speed up the file copy process within Dreamweaver. Unfortunately, files in the list are not refreshed automatically. Instead, you’ll have to go to the File panel’s submenu and select View, Refresh. Default images folder: Use this option to set a path to the default images folder in your site. Doing this allows you to use the file browser in Dreamweaver’s Files panel to drag and drop images from anywhere on your computer into the active document. Dreamweaver then copies the image into the default images folder of your defined site. Links relative to: If you want to change the relative path of the links you create to other pages in the site, select a Links Relative To option. By default, Dreamweaver creates links using document-relative paths. Select the Site Root option to change the path setting for the entire site to use site root relative paths (discussed in more detail in the previous chapter). If you select the Site Root option, make sure that you specify the HTTP address in the next option. HTTP address: Specify the complete web address to your site here (for example, http://www.dorknozzle.info). This allows Dreamweaver to verify links to absolute URLs. Dreamweaver also uses this address to make sure that site root-relative links work on the remote server, which may have a different site root. For example, if you are linking to the file C:\Dorknozzle\images\image.gif (where Dorknozzle is your local root folder), and the URL of your completed site is http://www.dorknozzle.info/DorknozzleApp/ (where DorknozzleApp is your remote root folder), then entering the URL in the HTTP Address text box ensures that the path to the linked file on the remote server is /DorknozzleApp/images/image.gif. Case-sensitive links: Enabling this check box guarantees that Dreamweaver checks case when checking for links throughout your site. Cache: Ensure that this option is selected so that Dreamweaver can take a snapshot of your folder and file structure. Deselecting this option nullifies many of the site management features including the Assets panel, which is discussed in more detail in Chapter 14, “Workflow Enhancement.” Because we’ve already configured most of these options in the Basic tab, I’ll leave the configuration alone and move directly to the Remote Info category. The Remote Info Category Similar to the remote configuration screen in the Basic tab, the Remote Info category, also shown in Figure 4.13, allows you to further configure remote computer options such as firewall settings, passive FTP, etc. Figure 4.13. Use the Remote Info category in the Advanced tab to configure further options such as firewall settings and passive FTP.

These options include None, FTP, Local/Network, WebDAV, RDS, and Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. In most scenarios you’ll use the FTP option from the Access menu. When this option is selected, the options listed next are present. NOTE As we progress through the book, we’ll discuss the other options within the Access list. For instance, in Chapter 12, “Building Dreamweaver Websites within Teams,” we’ll discuss both the WebDAV and SourceSafe options. Similarly, in Chapter 22, “Working with Server-Side Technologies,” we’ll discuss the Local/Network option.
