Host Server

How can I connect to my host server?

RE: Host Server

Hi Eimear,

Thanks for your question. I hope you enjoyed the Dreamweaver training.

You'll need to get the details from your hosting provider.

Usually, this is FTP details (File Transfer Protocol). And will involve:
Host:
Host/Remote Directory:
Username:
Password:

Enter the settings they give you into Remote Settings for your Site in Dreamweaver, and do a Test connect.

Host/Remote Directory is not required, but often hosting providers will take you to your home account when you FTP in, and your web site may be stored in a folder within that home account, eg. wwwroot, public_html or www

If this is the case for you, and to ensure Dreamweaver synchronises and uploads it's files to the right directory, you should put the name of this folder in the Host/Remote directory. Ask your hosting provider for more details on this.

If this answer resolves your query, please mark the question as 'resolved' (see below). Otherwise, please post a follow-up response to this post, and I will assist you further.

Regards, Rich
