Chapter 4:  Managing Your Files

Getting and putting files to and from your 
server

If you’re working in a collaborative environment, use the Check In/Check Out system to 
transfer files between local and remote sites (see 

). If you’re the only person working on the remote site, however, you can use the 

Get and Put commands to transfer files without checking them in or out.

Getting files from a remote server

Use the Get command to copy files from the remote site to your local site. You can use the 
Files panel or the Document window to get files. 

Dreamweaver creates a log of file activity during the transfer. To view or save this log, see 

Dreamweaver also records all FTP file transfer activity. If an error occurs when you are 
transferring a file using FTP, the Site FTP log can help you determine the problem. 

To get files from a remote server using the Files panel:

1.

In the Files panel (Window > Files), select the desired files to download. 

Usually you select these files in the Remote view, but you can select the corresponding files 
in the Local view if you prefer. If the Remote view is active, then Dreamweaver copies the 
selected files to the local site; if the Local view is active, then Dreamweaver copies the 
remote versions of the selected local files to the local site.

2.

Do one of the following to get the file:

■

Click the Get button in the Files panel toolbar.

■

Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file in the Files panel, then 
select Get from the context menu.

The Dependent files dialog box appears.

3.

To download dependent files, click Yes; to skip them, click No.

To get only those files for which the remote version is more recent than the local 
version, use the Synchronize command (see 

).

If you already have local copies of the dependent files, click No.
