Trang 1In order to publish your site, you will first have to define the remote site, and then upload the files to a remote folder on that site A remote folder is where you store your files for testing and publication
Dreamweaver defines this folder as the remote site You can define the remote server at any time during the development process However, before you can define the remote site, you must have access to a remote Web server, such as your ISP's server, and you will need infor-mation such as: path, password, and login ID You’ll also need to find out the best access method, either FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), Local/Network, WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), or RDS (Remote Data Services)
Once you have this information, you simply add it to the setup for the working site

Trang 5If you created dynamic pages in Dreamweaver, you need to define a testing server to try them out Dreamweaver needs a testing server to generate and display dynamic pages during development You can define a testing server on your local computer, a network development server, or a remote production server For example, you can create a place to act like a public server to test the applications and connec-tions to the database Before you can define a testing server, you need
to define a local site folder and remote site server

Trang 6When you work in a team environment where many contributors make changes to site files, you’ll want to use a version control system to keep track of them Subversion is a version control system that works along with Dreamweaver to help you maintain version histories of your site files Subversion maintains a repository of the file and folder struc-ture of your site on the Subversion server, which is the normal installa-tion (available at http://subversion.tiggris.org), however, you can set it
up on your own computer The files and folders are not actually stored
on the server Subversion maintains a database of changes, which allows you to view a file history and compare it with previous versions
Before you can use Subversion, you need to define server settings in the Site Setup dialog box
