How to access a remote site in dreamweaver

This might seem like a simple question, but i just downloaded DW as a trial, and want to try it out before buying. Now I've done the remote site set up and tested and it says it can connect to my remote site. But I want to now go to the site, log in, and make some changes to the web site pages which are stored there. None of the stuff is stored on my home PC. It's all at the remote site. So how do I edit it? How do I even log in? DW seems intended to work on files on your home PC, and then publish them to a remote site. My problem is it's all ON the remote site.

Hi Nancy,
No, I'm not getting those selections under the file menu. What I've done is go to server, manage servers, and set up a remote server. When I test it it says "dreamweaver connected to your web server succesfully". So I assume that the remote server, at least, is set up properly. I didn't set up a "local site" however. Perhaps that could be it? But those choices are not on the drop-down box, even grayed out. If I click on "open" the box goes to my PC for choices. On the left side it has" My recent documents, desktop, my documents, my network (which doesn't lead anywhere)

How to access the remote Objects Without Db_links?

Hi ,
I want to know how to access the remote objects without db_link.That is i want to access a object in some other server which has different database.

SanjayBala, just so you know that it is possible to create a database link in Oracle to non-Oracle databases in some circumstances. Look up Generic Connectivity aslo know as Heterogenous Services. With 11g Oracle has basically renamed the feature and replaced it with somethinkg named ike DG4ODBC.
I have not spent time studying the details for DB4ODBC but with HS Oracle provided the interface and you had to obtain the necessary ODBC driver on your own. I had Oracle on AIX reading and writing to SQL Server on Windows but the developers chose to write a java program and connect to both via it. On Windows and Linux platforms the necessary ODBC drivers might be available without the requirement to go out and purchase one.
The Oracle Open Gateway product is an advanced version of the above features with drivers for specific non-Oracle databases included like DB2 or Informix.

Create password access to a site in Dreamweaver CC

Trying to create a password protected site. I have an intro page and want to have a password required to access the main site. I am using hostgator and from what I can see, they only have a username password access. I need just the password access for our members to access the site. I added server behaviors ext to my Dreamweaver CC but the + sign is grayed out. Ideas?

Hi
in addition to Ben's recommendation: The easiest way - in my opinion - to protect the recommended website(s) with a password is to ask your provider for this possibility. I can show you here the menu of my German host (Passwortschutz > Password protection):
Here an example of one of my websites, where I used my providers service. You can see what happens if you don't know the required details:
http://dala-laegret1963.de/AccBlocked/AccBlocked.php. There only these users who know the passwords can enter this website.
As you can see I didn't struggle to write the ".htaccess" file of myself, and here I quote Nancy O's hints:
a secure create sign-up page. When form is submitted, MySQL database is appended with new log-in credentials.
a MySQL database to store unique ID, username, password with a date and timestamp to measure how old each password is.
another secure log-in page to verify valid username, password and date and timestamp. If it's accepted, a session is created and redirects user to confidential areas of the site.
a log-out page to kill the session.
an error page for when username & password are not found in database.
a secure new password page for when date & timestamp are too old.
For all these things I use the provider's (ISP) service. The advantage is, that the two files (.htaccess and .htpasswd) are created simultaneously and systemconform. You will find this offer, I am sure, at your provider's website.
Dreamweaver has so too a very easy server-side authentication behaviors built-in... have you looked at those? (Server Behaviors --> Authenticate Users)

How do I tell my browser how to find my remote site on cafe_townsend tutorial

Worked through the tutorial in Dreamweaver 8 and everything peachy. Browser fired up everytime I hit f12. Then I got to the part where I put my local files to the remote site and now my browser can't find the URL. There are some instructions about localhost:5800 for coldfusion but not sure what it means. What or where do I enter the magic information to let my IE8 in Windows 7 know how to find my remote web sight?
I sure could use some advice....Thanks Popeyebedford1 [email protected]

I know about that tab, but the problem is that the iPod carries those preferences with it from computer to computer. I do want it to automatically update when plugged into my iBook, but I don't want it to when I plug it into the old G4. Right now my iPod is linked to two different libraries when it should only be to one. I know I can work around this by changing the preferences every time I decide to plug my iPod from one computer to the other, but it seems a little unnecessarylike there should be an easy way to just stop the synching altogether on my old computer...

How to restore a remote site after a crash?

I have read the site management FAQ and it mentions to restore your files you can go to your remote site and load back to your local site.
Could anyone offer some help to my situation?
I suffered a hard drive failure, I'm running windows xp, dwcs4 and the site is hosted. I have reinstalled windows and dw. The site was created as per all the tutorials and I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in.
Could someone point me to a tutorial or how to?
Thanks in advance
Jim

"I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in."
You lost me here. Not sure what you mean.
Create a new site definition for local and remote sites, connect to your remote site then click Get. That's all you need to do.

How can I change remote site definition without breaking all of the links?

I've created a website and put it here http://home.comcast.net/~alpsf/index.html to test it during construction. Now when I change the remote site definition on the local site in DW, all of the links are broken. I now suspect the problem is that I made it site root-relative, and DW inserted /~alpsf/ in all of the links. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks very much.

You can do a find and replace to change the links globally. Make sure you do a complete backup of the site prior to doing this incase you don't do it correctly. Let me stress that again, backup your entire site incase you need to restore. If you have created a "new site" and this will not be part of the /~alpsf site, then you will need to define a new site and copy all the files into that folder (I am guessing this is the case). I would copy the files outside of Dreamweaver. You could do this without touching the files in the ~alpsf directory. There are a lot of variable here as I don't know exactly what you are doing.
On the file menu select window/results-select search. (this is done if the search window is not open).
Find in: Entire Current Local Site
Search: Source Code
Find: "/~alpsf/
Replace:"/
That should do it, but this is a very tricky thing. I wouldn't have a problem doing this as long as I have everything backed up.
Jim
Edited:You might have to go into your css, spry files and any others that has links to do the same (this time only select Find in: Current document once the document is open). Once that is done, delete the whole remote site and upload the changes once you check that everything is completed.

"An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. User limit reached or not authorized to make the connection due to local firewall blocking FTP data."
I know it is not firewall issue and I am the only user. Any ideas?
Thanks again for your reply!

How do I edit FrontPage sites with Dreamweaver 8 without messing them up?

I have to edit a friend's Front Page site using Dreamweaver
without messing up her ability to publish also.
I'm running Dreamweaver 8.0. I already installed an extension
for dreamweaver mx called "Import Front Page Site Wizard for
Dreamweaver" but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a version of
this for DW8? When I "import" the site using IFPSWFD it says
restart DW to complete the process, and when I restart it says the
new site "has been added" but I don't see it in my list of DW
sites.
Does anyone have tips on using DW8 to edit FP sites without
corrupting them?
Thanks for your help!
-jt

i won't touch front page sites where the client/user/owner
intends to keep
on using frontpage. Not even with a borrowed ten foot pole.
if they will keep there fingers out of it, yes; it can be
worked on. If they
want to keep using fp, no because in cleaning it up i'll
break it as far as
they and fp are concerned. Or worry about breaking it which
is worse and not
worth the aggravation.
> You could be right - it's been many years since I worked
with FrontPage and

just depends on what

Further assistance on bringing in a remote site to Dreamweaver!

Hello,
I have tried to do this several times now with out luck. I have the necessary information for the server (username, password, ect) I test the connection
and it works. I created a folder on my desktop to be a root folder. I try the "Get" button. I have a few questions:
1.) I am not sure exactly which files I need to pull from my ftp in order to edit. Especially if I am looking to just edit one section on one page of my website.
2.) I don't know if the "Get" button is a proper way to do this, I watched many tutorials now and several said this would work but it hasen't.
Basically, once I get folders into Dreamweaver I can't find the Index (or homepage) to edit it. And even when I do find an html file that says this it shows up looking nothing like the actual page....
3.) Is it supposed to look like this? (I tried copying the entire site into Dreamweaver just to be sure CSS and all would be there as well and that not only didn't work but the file was huge and crashed Dreamweaver...)
Please Help!!
Camryn

It's a complicated situation. But of course it is not something I want to ruin as well and obviously not something I know that well.
Must I change this from the server than.
I was able to connect and bring this into Dreamweaver. It is an Index.php file. I am adding a google adwords code to it. I am just curious because I seemed to have made progress. Thank you for the help.

How to access mail remotely

How can I access my mac.com or me.com email from a different computer, such as in a hotel lobby? Other posts have suggested simply logging onto me.com or icloud.com and then "sign in to mail." Whenever I log onto me.com or icloud.com, I get taken to an icloud welcome page that gives me several options for installing an icloud account. there is no option for signing into mail. Obviously, I don't want to install anything on a hotel computer, even if I could! Any ideas for how to access mail?

If you go to www.icloud.com you should get this screen
Once you sign in using your Apple ID you should have access to your iCloud data including mail sent to you iCloud email address.
Is this not what you see?
