Note: The Site Files view, Testing Server view, and Synchronize buttons appear only in the expanded Files panel.
The Site pop-up menu Lets you select a Dreamweaver site and display that site’s files. You can also use the Site menu to
access all the files on your local disk, much like Windows Explorer(Windows) or the Finder (Macintosh).
Connect/Disconnect (FTP, RDS, and WebDAV protocol) Connects to or disconnects from the remote site. By default,
Dreamweaver disconnects from the remote site if it has been idle for more than 30 minutes (FTP only). To change the
time limit, select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh), then select Site from the
category list on the left.
Refresh Refreshes the local and remote directory lists. Use this button to manually refresh the directory lists if you
deselected either Refresh Local File List Automatically or Refresh Remote File List Automatically in the Site Definition
dialog box.
Site Files view Displays the file structure of the remote and local sites in the panes of the Files panel. (A preference
setting determines which site appears in the left pane and which appears in the right pane.) Site Files view is the default
view for the Files panel.
Testing Server view Displays the directory structure of the testing server and the local site.
Repository view Displays the Subversion (SVN) Repository.
Get File(s) Copies the selected files from the remote site to your local site (overwriting the existing local copy of the file,
if any). If Enable File Check In And Check Out is enabled, the local copies are read-only; the files remain available on
the remote site for other team members to check out. If Enable File Check In and Check Out is disabled, the file copies
will have both read and write privileges.
Note: The files Dreamweaver copies are the files you select in the active pane of the Files panel. If the Remote pane is active,
the selected remote or testing server files are copied to the local site; if the Local pane is active, Dreamweaver copies the
remote or testing server version of the selected local files to the local site.
Put File(s) Copies the selected files from the local site to the remote site.
Note: The files Dreamweaver copies are the files you select in the active pane of the Files panel. If the Local pane is active,
the selected local files are copied to the remote site or testing server; if the Remote pane is active, Dreamweaver copies the
local versions of the selected remote server files to the remote site.
If you are putting a file that doesn’t already exist on the remote site, and Enable File Check In and Out is enabled, the
file is added to the remote site as “checked out.” Click the Check In Files button if you want to add a file without the
checked out status.
Check Out File(s) Transfers a copy of the file from the remote server to your local site (overwriting the existing local
copy of the file, if any) and marks the file as checked out on the server. This option is not available if Enable File Check
In and Check Out in the Site Definitions dialog box is disabled for the current site.
Check In File(s) Transfers a copy of the local file to the remote server and makes the file available for editing by others.
The local file becomes read-only. This option is not available if the Enable File Check In and Check Out option in the
Site Definitions dialog box is disabled for the current site.
Synchronize Synchronizes the files between the local and remote folders.
The Expand/Collapse button Expands or collapses the Files panel to display one or two panes.
