FTP connections
Use this setting if you connect to your web server using FTP.
Note : Business Catalyst supports only SFTP. If you are using Business Catalyst, see the section on SFTP connections on
this page.
1 Select Site > Manage Sites.
2 Click New to set up a new site, or select an existing Dreamweaver site and click the edit icon.
3 In the Site Setup dialog box, select the Servers category and do one of the following:
• Click the Add New Server button to add a new server
• Select an existing server and click the Edit Existing Server button
The following illustration shows the Basic screen of the Server category with the text fields already populated.
4 In the Server Name text box, specify a name for the new server. You can choose any name that you require.
5 Select FTP from the Connect Using pop-up menu.
6 In the FTP Address text box, enter the address of the FTP server to which you upload files for your website.
Your FTP address is the full Internet name of a computer system, such as ftp.mindspring.com. Enter the full address
without any additional text. In particular, don’t add a protocol name in front of the address.
If you do not know your FTP address, contact your web hosting company.
Note: Port 21 is the default port for receiving FTP connections. You can change the default port number by editing the
text box to the right. The result when you save your settings is a colon and the new port number appended to your FTP
address (for example, ftp.mindspring.com:29).
