142 Tutorial: Setting Up Your Site and Project Files
The Files panel now shows the new local root folder for your current site. 
The file list in the Files panel acts as a file manager, allowing you to copy, 
paste, delete, move, and open files just as you would on a computer 
desktop.
For more information about how the Files panel works, see 
.
You’ve now defined a local root folder for your site. The local root folder is 
the place on your local computer where you keep the working copies of 
your web pages. Later, if you want to publish your pages and make them 
publicly available, you’ll need to define a remote folder—a place on a 
remote computer, running a web server, that will hold published copies of 
your local files.
You can follow the rest of the tutorials in this guide to create the Cafe 
Townsend sample site, or you can work on your own web pages. When 
you’re finished creating and editing pages, proceed to define a remote 
folder on a server and publish your pages. For more information, see
