Set Basic tab Testing Files options (remote access)
The purpose of this dialog box is to select an access method for Dreamweaver to access your testing server.
Dreamweaver works with a testing server to generate and display dynamic content while you work. The testing server can be your local computer, a development server, a staging server, or a production server. As long as the server can process the kind of dynamic pages you plan to develop, the choice doesn’t matter.
Select an access method from the pop-up menu and
fill out the appropriate text boxes. - None
- Keep this default setting if you do not plan to upload your site to a server.
- FTP
- Use this setting if you connect to your web server using FTP.
- Local/Network
- Use this setting to access a network folder, or if you are storing files or running your testing server on your local computer.
- RDS
- (Remote Development Services) Use this setting if you connect to your web server using RDS. For this access method, your remote folder must be on a computer running ColdFusion.
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
- Use if you connect to your web server using Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. Support for this method is only available for Windows; to use it, you must have Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Client version 6 installed.
