File management
Last updated 6/3/2015
3 If the file hasn’t been saved, a dialog box appears (if you set this preference in the Site category of the Preferences
dialog box) allowing you to save the file before putting it on the remote server. Click Yes to save the file or No to put
the previously saved version on the remote server.
Note: If you do not save the file, any changes you’ve made since the last time you saved will not be put onto the remote
server. However, the file remains open, so you can still save the changes after putting the file on the server if you want.
4 Click Yes to upload dependent files along with the selected files, or click No to refrain from uploading dependent
files. The default is to not upload dependent files. You can set this option at Edit > Preferences > Site.
Note: It’s usually a good idea to upload dependent files when checking in a new file, but if the latest versions of the
dependent files are already on the remote server, there’s no need to upload them again.
To stop the file transfer at any time, click the Cancel button in the Background File Activity dialog box.
Put files on 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 put the file:
• Select Site > Put.
• Click the File Management icon in the Document window toolbar, then select Put 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 Put operation.
Display the FTP log
1 Click the Options menu in the upper right corner of the Files panel.
2 Select View > Site FTP Log.
Note: In the Expanded Files Panel, you can click the FTP Log button to display the log.
Manage file transfers
You can view the status of file transfer operations, as well as a list of transferred files and their outcomes (transfer
successful, skipped, or failed). You can also save a log of the file activity.
Note: Dreamweaver lets you perform other non-server-related activities while you’re transferring files to or from a server.
Cancel a file transfer
❖ Click the Cancel button in the Background File Activity dialog box. If the dialog box isn’t showing, click the File
Activity button at the bottom of the Files panel.

❖ Click the File Activity or Log button at the bottom of the Files panel.
Note: You cannot hide or remove the Log button. It’s a permanent part of the panel.
