Get files from a remote server using the Document window
1
Make sure the document is active in the Document window.
2
Do one of the following to get the file:
• Select Site > Get.
• Click the File Management icon in the Document window toolbar, then select Get from the menu.
Note: If the current file is not part of the current site in the Files panel, Dreamweaver attempts to determine which
locally defined site the current file belongs to. If the current file belongs to only one local site, Dreamweaver opens that
site, then performs the Get operation.

Put files on a remote server
You can put files from the local site to the remote site, generally without changing the file’s checked out status.
There are two common situations in which you might use the Put command instead of Check In:
• You’re not in a collaborative environment and you aren’t using the Check In/Check Out system.
• You want to put the current version of the file on the server but you’re going to keep editing it.
Note: If you put a file that didn’t previously exist on the remote site and you’re using the Check In/Check Out system, the
file is copied to the remote site and is then checked out to you so that you can continue editing.
You can use the Files panel or the Document window to put files. Dreamweaver creates a log of file activity during the
transfer that you can view and save.
Note: You cannot turn background file transfer off. If you have the detail log open in the Background File Activity dialog
box, you can close that to improve performance.
• Dreamweaver also records all FTP file transfer activity. If an error occurs when you are transferring a file using FTP,
the Site FTP log can help you determine the problem.

In the Files panel (Window > Files), select the files to upload.
Usually you select these in the Local view, but you may select the corresponding files in the Remote view if you
prefer.
Note: You can put only those files for which the local version is more recent than the remote version.

Do one of the following to put the file on the remote server:
• Click the Put button in the Files panel toolbar.
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file in the Files panel, then select Put from the context
menu.
