DreamweaverMX Tutorials

DreamweaverMX uses a site management scheme that requires all files to be housed within a local root folder; this allows you to exactly duplicate the hierarchy that's on your hard drive when you upload files to the Web server.

The local root folder is the foundation; it is where all other files branch from, just like tree branches extend from roots and trunk. Think of your sub-directories like tree branches.

Once you create a site, Dreamweaver will build a site cache file that contains the information about the location and names of your site files. If you re-arrange files or folders, or add new ones, Dreamweaver will keep track of them so long as they live in your local root folder.
