*NOTE: If your web address looks something like the following (www.amanaacademy.org, www.chattcougar.com, or www.yourschool.com) and does not include www.fultonschools.org, then your website is being hosted externally. You must contact the company providing hosting services to get information about publishing your website.

The following information is for individuals who will have websites hosted on Fulton County Schools web servers.

In the menu, click File.
Choose Manage Sites from the drop-down list.
The Manage Sites window will appear.
Choose New.
Choose Site.
The Site Definition window will appear.
Select the Advanced tab.
Under Category in the left-hand panel, choose Local Info.

Site name:
Enter a name for your site. This can be anything you like. This is will be for your refernce only.

Local root folder:
Click the folder icon and browse to the local directory on your hard drive where your web site is or will be stored

Refresh local files list automatically

Use the Refresh Local File List Automatically option to indicate whether Dreamweaver should automatically refresh the local file list every time you copy files into your local site.

To set up or edit the FTP settings in Dreamweaver, follow the steps below:
Choose Site > Manage Sites.
In the Manage Sites dialog box, either click the New button or select your existing site definition and click the Edit button.
In the Site Definition dialog box, you will see two tabs: Basic and Advanced. For the purposes of this FAQ, we will focus on the Advanced tab, since it includes more FTP options than the Basic tab.
From the Advanced tab, choose the Remote Info category.
In the Access drop-down menu, select FTP, once you have determined that FTP is your best option.
In the FTP host field, enter the host name of the FTP host to which you upload files for your website. Your FTP host is the full Internet name of a computer system, such as www.fultonschools.org.

In the Host directory field, enter the host directory at the remote site where you store your documents that are visible to the public.If you’re uncertain about what to enter as the host directory, contact the server’s administrator. Or, try leaving the text box blank. On some servers, your root directory is the same as the directory you first connect to with FTP. To find out, connect to the server. If a folder with a name like public_html, or www, or your login name, appears in the Remote File view in your Files panel, that’s probably the directory you should use in the Host Directory text box. If the URL for your site is www.fultonschools.org/teacher/rotan/ then the host directory = /teacher/rotan/.

In the Login and Password fields, enter the login name and password that you use to connect to the FTP server.
Click the Test button to test your FTP host, host directory, login name and password.
Dreamweaver saves your password by default. Deselect the Save checkbox if you prefer that Dreamweaver prompt you for a password each time you connect to the remote server.

FrontPage has a nasty habit of changing the name of default page on the web server (some non-Microsoft servers require the home page be named "index.htm"). This causes the navigation to disappear. Fix this buy inspecting the server for the name of the default page, you can adjust this on the local web and then publish the entire web to the server again (not just the changes).

Some non-Microsoft servers have problems creating "_" underscore directories. By inspecting the folders on the server with an FTP program, you can see if the "_derived" folder is present. This folder contains all the navigation button images for the navigation and link bars.

If you have "_" underscore folders on your web, the server might not allow these folders to be created by the FrontPage extensions because they are Unix system folders (if you can't see the "_" folders on your web, then select the "Tools->Web Settings..." menu item and then the advanced tab and check the "Show documents in hidden folders" check box). This can be fixed by using an FTP program to make the missing folders and then publishing again. The hoster can also add these folders or change the permission on the web to allow the creation of "_" folders.

Other errors are typically because of corrupted FrontPage server Extensions. The Hoster should uninstall and reinstall the FrontPage server extension for the web site.

If you are getting a server is locked error after aborting a publishing operation, the extensions might have locked-out publishing to the web. This can be corrected by deleting the "service.lck" file from the "_vti_pvt" folder.

Open your web site in Pubisher.
From the File menu, select Web Site Properties.
In the Web Site Properties window, make sure your Home page file name is "index" and the File name extension is "html". Click OK
Save the web site to a folder on your hard drive.

From the File menu, select Publish Web Site to Folder. This will put your entire web site in a the folder of your choice on your hard drive in a format called HTML which is used for web sites.
Select or create a folder to save your web site into. We strongly suggest using a new or empty folder that you can find later when you need to upload to the server.
Click OK to begin saving your web site to that folder. Suggested settings before uploading

Prior to uploading your site, we have a few suggested settings that you may wish to impliment

Name of FTP site is your domain name, or if you don't have one registered yet, then use the IP address that was provided in your welcome letter when you signed up for hosting at fultonschools.org. Usually this will look like fultonschools.org for example.

Click on your URL than then click Open button. the file name should be index.html or index.htm and the Save as type: should be Web Page, Filtered (which are the defaults).
Publisher will now connect to the web server and show a list of files on the server. Do not change any file or folder that you're not familiar with and didn't create yourself (or bad things will probably happen).
Click the Save button. Publisher begins generating html web page files and images and uploads them to the server.
All done.
