your site. You can give the site any name you wish; for

Department.
- Click Next.
- Click Next again.
- Click the radio button to edit copies locally on
my machine...

files and type it into the text box.
Optionally, click the folder icon to visually browse to a folder on your hard drive. Dreamweaver will enter the folder location into the text box for you. - Click Next.

options will appear below the dropdown box.

- In the second text box, enter the folder on the server
where your files are located. For
example, the English Department is located at the web address
www.uwstout.edu/cas/english. In this case,
the path would be /cas/english.
Enter /wwwroot in this box if you are creating a site using student webspace. - In the third text box, enter your FTP login information.
The format is as follows:
- uwstout-mail/username, where username is your email username.

all of the settings are correct, click Done.
