Last updated 6/3/2015

You can now authenticate connections to an SFTP server based on an ‘Identity Key’ (with or without a passphrase).

Dreamweaver supports only OpenSSH key files.

1

Select Site > Manage Sites.

2

Click New to set up a new site, or select an existing Dreamweaver site and click Edit.

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

4

In the Server Name text box, specify a name for the new server. The name can be anything of your choosing.

5

Select SFTP from the Connect Using pop-up menu.

6

Specify the other options in the dialog box based on one of the applicable scenarios below:

Scenario 1: No key, but have user name and password

Scenario 2: Have a key that does not require a passphrase

Scenario 3: Have a key that requires a passphrase

Scenario 1

You do not have a key and want to establish an SFTP connection using only the credentials - combination of user name
and password. In this case, use the “Username and Password” authentication method.

1

Enter a friendly name for the server.

2

From the Connect list, click SFTP, and enter a valid SFTP address and port.

3

For the authentication method, click Username and Password, and then provide the user name and password.

To verify the connection, click Test.
