What are Local and Remote views in Dreamweaver?
When Dreamweaver is used to connect to websites on the University web servers, Dreamweaver works with two copies of the website. The Local view is the working copy of the site which is stored on a local drive and the Remote view which is the master version of the site stored on the webdev development server. Dreamweaver can be used to transfer webpages and other files between these two sites. Clicking on the dropdown field at the top of the files window allows either Local or Remote view to be selected as the current file view. NOTE: It is not necessary to keep a full version of the site on the local drive, as the files in this view are primarily used to show the structure of the site when browsing or dragging links.
