  1. Im - thanks for that. I have created the new folder, called it "new_work". I have copied and pasted the entire site into the new_work folder in Local View, so I'm assuming all the links etc. will be in there. All I need to be sure about now is how to upload just the new_work folder. Do I need to go into Remote View and create a new_work folder there to upload to or can I just click on the new_work folder in Local View and click on the upload arrow to send it (just that new_work folder) to the server?
  2. virtual - thanks for that, followed some of it. I am already able to work on the site in DW, either in local or remote view. DW can connect to the server and I have already uloaded a couple of very minor changes, which worked OK. Now I am doing a much larger job involving new Navigation Table and several new pages, involving quite a few links. It all looks/works OK when viewed in IE7 on the PC I'm working on but, as I've said, I want my colleagues to view/test/comment before uploading it to 'live' on the server. Where I'm now unclear is how I get either the whole site, with my new stuff, or just my new stuff, onto the server so that only my colleagues can see it? I have tried creating a new folder in the Local Root Folder - called new_work, thinking I could just copy the new files into there. Then (somehow) upload just the 'new_work' folder to the server with a link as described in my last post? What I found was: a) I couldn't work out how to copy the files, so I used drag & drop into 'new_work'. It asked me if I wanted to update the links as well. Somehow I don't feel that was the right method, so I've put it all back into the Root for now. I realise I could do the pen drive thing but it means driving for an hour each way, every time I make changes. As this is going to be an ongoing project for a while, that's not really practical. Sorry this is so long-winded but as you all know 'a little knowledge is dangerous', which makes me lethal I reckon!!
  3. Thanks for the replies folks. We don't have an Intranet, and I'm concerned that, if I've made fundamental errors in the changes/additions I've made, it might screw other parts of the site. If I put it on a pen drive, wouldn't the others need Dreamweaver to be able to open files and view it in their browsers? Someone has suggested I create a new folder on the server and load a copy of the 'local site' (the one I'm working on in DW) into that. Then add the name of the folder as www.blahblah.co.uk/newfolder for the link to send to the others. If this is right, how do I add the new folder onto the server please?
  4. Hi everyone, new here. I have an old site which I have downloaded into Dreamweaver CS3 to do some updating. Nothing too ambitious due to lack of knowledge, things like adding an extra navigation table to serve additional pages, changing colour schemes (trying to - may need some help here!) etc. I have managed to do some stuff which looks OK when I view it locally in IE7. Now I want to make it available to my colleagues so they can see how it looks/works in their browsers and can provide input. Therefore, I need to know how I can achieve this, without uploading the files to the server and risking it screwing up the site. I know htis can be done as the firm, that originally built the site, sent me a link to view/test before it went live. Can anyone kindly suggest what I can try please?
