Site management

It’s usually a good idea to download dependent files when checking out a new file, but if the latest versions of the
dependent files are already on the local disk, there’s no need to download them again. This is also true for uploading
and checking in files: no need if up-to-date copies are already at the destination.
If you deselect these options, your dependent files are not transferred. Therefore, to force the Dependent Files dialog
box to appear even when these options are deselected, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while
choosing the Get, Put, Check In, or Check Out commands.
FTP Connection Determines whether the connection to the remote site is terminated after the specified number of
minutes have passed with no activity.
FTP Time Out Specifies the number of seconds in which Dreamweaver attempts to make a connection with the
remote server.
If there is no response after the specified amount of time, Dreamweaver displays a warning dialog box alerting you
to this fact.
FTP Transfer options Determines whether Dreamweaver selects the default option, after a specified number of
seconds, when a dialog box appears during a file transfer and there is no user response.
Proxy Host Specifies the address of the proxy server through which you connect to outside servers if you are behind
a firewall.
If you are not behind a firewall, leave this space blank. If you are behind a firewall, select the Use Proxy option in
the Site Definition dialog box (Servers > Edit Existing Server (pencil icon) > More Options).
Proxy Port Specifies the port in your proxy or firewall through which you pass to connect to the remote server. If
you connect through a port other than 21 (the default for FTP), enter the number here.
Put Options: Save Files Before Putting Indicates that unsaved files are saved automatically before being put onto the
remote site.
Move Options: Prompt Before Moving Files on Server Alerts you when you attempt to move files on the remote site.
Manage Sites Opens the Manage Sites dialog box, where you can edit an existing site or create a new one.
You can define whether the types of files that you transfer are transferred as ASCII (text) or binary, by customizing
the FTPExtensionMap.txt file in the Dreamweaver/Configuration folder (on the Macintosh,
FTPExtensionMapMac.txt). For more information see, Extending Dreamweaver.
