Using Dreamweaver to Edit pages on the P: drive via FTP

Step One

Be sure that you've already setup your P:drive

DePauw University students, faculty and staff members can publish personal/professional web materials using a Novell Web Folder on their P: drive. This folder is accessible by Windows and Macintosh web authors, from both on- and off-campus. Web addresses to these web materials are in the format of http://academic.depauw.edu/~username.

Instructions on how to do this are located at: Personal Web Sites at DePauw (P Drive)

 

Step One

Start the Site Setup Wizard

Open Dreamweaver and click on "Site" from the toolbar at the top and then "New Site". Once the Wizard has opened, click the "Advanced" button at the top of that window.
