FTP Upload?? GAHH!!!

[TheDrewster]

I cant remember for the life of me how to upload the site to the FTP via Dreamweaver. I have the FTP connected to the site, but I am completely lost as to what to do afterwards. I cant find where I am supposed to upload, I dont know how to establish the URL, I dont know what the heck I am doing to be frank. PLEASE HELP ME! You can even text me at 775-830-4855 if you would be so kind!

No worries, here is what you do. Once you have the FTP set in your site root in Dreamweaver, go to the "Files" palette in the lower right corner. Look for the "Expand" button in the top right of the files menu (it looks like an expanding window icon). Click it. Your files window should expand into a two pane window in the center of your screen. Find the "Connect" button (looks like a plug and cord, should be a third of the way over on the left of the newly expanded "Files" menu. Click it. A set of folders should appear in the left pane. Surf through the folders in the left pane in this manner:

public_html > grc175.com > student > spring_2012 > andrew_michael_nicholson

Next, drag all the folders from your root folder, except the "working_graphics" folder from the right pane over to the "andrew_michael_nicholson" folder on the left. If it asks you to place linked graphics, say yes. When the file transfer is done, check the following link ( http://www.grc175.com/student/spring_20 ... nicholson/ ). Assuming you named your homepage "index" and you have your files linked properly you should see it in the browser.

Lastly, post a link in the Project 1 subform for your fellow students to gawk at.

Hope that helps!
