Setting Dreamweaver to upload files with SFTP

Dreamweaver CS3, 8, and MX 2004 are able to transfer files using SFTP, a secure version of FTP. Here are instructions and screenshots specific to version CS3, though they generally apply to versions 8 and MX 2004 as well. Historically, if you have taken courses E110 (formerly IDS 110), you will likely be asked to use this technique.

  1. Open Adobe Dreamweaver (formerly Macromedia Dreamweaver).
  2. Click Site in the file menu.
  3. Select Manage Sites..., and a dialogue window will appear. (You can also select New Site as a shortcut if you haven't created one yet.)

  4. If you have a Dreamweaver site already in the list, select the name on the left and click Edit.
    • If you're instead creating a new site, you can also do it from here by clicking the New button and selecting Site

  5. When the Site Definition window appears, enter any name for your site, and enter the URL of your OCF address: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/yourusername and hit Next.

  6. When asked if you want to work with a server technology, pick Yes and keep the option directly below at none and hit Next.

  7. Keep the default selection of Edit local copies on my machine, then upload to server when ready, and enter the (local) path on your computer where you'd like to store your site's files. On Macs, it would look something like Macintosh:Users:yourmacusername:Documents:My OCF Site. On Windows, it would look something like C:\My OCF Site, or whatever you'd like. Hit Next.

  8. Change how you connect to your testing server from the default Local/Network to FTP. You will be brought to a screen asking for for your FTP details.
    • For how you connect to your testing server, select FTP.
    • Your hostname is ocf.berkeley.edu.
    • Your folder is public_html.
    • Your FTP login and password are your OCF username and password.
    • Make sure to check Use Secure FTP (SFTP). Hit Next.

  9. When asked what URL you would use to browse the root of your site, type: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/yourusername. Hit Next.

  10. When asked whether wanting to enable checking in and out, most users can leave the default setting of No, do not enable... . Hit Next.

  11. You will be brought to a summary screen. Hit Done.
