Is it possible to identify orphans using Dreamweaver on a remote server?

I haven't used the Orphans option on Dreamweaver before. I usually create my pages, upload them, and then remove them from my local system (the website I work on is far too large to have on my local machine). The problem I've run into is there are a lot of orphaned files on that web server. Is there a way to have dreamweaver go looking for them, or does the whole site need to be local? It's a bit of a long shot, but I figured I'd ask since I'm rather at my wits end.
If it helps, the webserver is runing SunOS, and my Local machine is runing Windows XP with CS5

Checking For Orphan Files with Dreamweaver
DW has a built-in feature that will verify the links within the local site folder and it will identify any unused files in the results panel. This  feature is built into Dreamweaver's "Check Links" utility in the Site menu.  After the software checks links, it also provides you with a report of all unused files, which you can either delete or re-link.
The following 3rd party  products are useful tools for webmasters who want to  keep their web space organized and well maintained.
    * Inspyder's OrFind will  "crawl your site" and identify HTML pages and images that are no longer used.  The software can be configured to automatically delete those files, and it will  even email you a report if any files are modified. This can provide a webmaster  with peace of mind, knowing that if their webspace gets hacked, they'll be  alerted. There is a free trial available. Afterward, you need to pay for the  software to continue using it.
    * HTML Link Validator, released in 2007 by  Lithops Software, will check your website for any broken links, regardless of  the number of pages your site has. This software is another class of "web  spider" which sifts through your web pages and identifies orphan web site files.  The software is Shareware, but you need to register and pay to use the full  version.
    * FindOrphan is a simple application  created by SobolSoft that will search your local HTML, PHP and ASP files for any  unlinked files, including media files like images and video.
    * Linx Explorer from  NOVOSIB software will verify all links on your website to check for broken  links, and it will also detect any unlinked files in your web directory and  provide you with a report.
    * SiteCleaner is Mac  software created by Sideburn Studios that will take all of the files and code  for your web project and "clean it" of all orphaned html or media files. Removed  files are placed in a "removed content" folder.

  • Running a report using rwcli60 on a remote server

    hi
    I have a concurrent program which runs a 6i report. The output of this report is a PDF file which is then faxed to a set of users.
    The report srever is not on the same unix box as the unix shell script which is the executable of the concurrent program. I am aware that rwcli60 can be used to run reports for non web based results.
    I am not sure how to do this on a remote server. i.e how do I run teh report on the report server from the concurrent manager server?
    Any ideas? please help.
    thanks

  • Can file adapter be used to write to remote server

    Hi, can file adpater be used to write to a remote server(say from linux to windows) or we have to run an ftp server and use the ftp adapter only.
    Thanks
    Manish

    Hi Manish,
    As mentioned by Hisaak, File adapter should be used to write files locally and FTP adapter should be used to write files on remote servers. Still if you want to use file adapter then you have to mount/map the network drive (drive at remote server) to your local machine and then you may use File adapter, provided proper permissions are there.

  • Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
    I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
    For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
    For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
    The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
    The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
    If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
    Are there any notes for using both ?
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata 

    Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
    Thanks for posting here!
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage and Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk. These are two different question and can be answered individually.
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage - Possible.
    Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk - Possible.
    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server? Is a question.

    To answer your specific question "Is it possible to edit a google site using dreamweaver" the answer is NO.  The reason is that Google does not allow uploading of web pagesusing any means such as FTP.  Google provies hundreds of templates to choose from and like you I don't like them at all.
    Microsoft had a free service long time ago that allowed you to upload your own pages but this has been stopped for new customers.  New customers are required to sign up to their Office 365 Service <http://tinyurl.com/bucc6t4> and this costs money.  However, you can build and host a website with a custom domain for your business.using their free software called Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573>.  I believe they also have a 64 bit version to download but I only use 32 bit on my 64 bit systems!!
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it is possible to identify Heading level, Title, Header, Footer, Paragraph in PDF using SDk or Script

    Hi Friends
                 Is it is possible to identify Heading level, Title, Header, Footer, Paragraph in PDF using SDK or Script

    In an ordinary PDF there is nothing to identify, the information does not exist. Just text at locations, the structure is entirely in the mind of the viewer. For tagged PDFs, yes. This requires a very detailed knowledge of the PDF spec and tagging, and writing a plug-in in C/C++. And of course it requires that the tagging is correct. Since tagging is often added automatically, it is often useless for real structural info. Who thought it was a good idea to tag automatically...!

  • Is it possible to create a web page to launch Reflection for UNIX and Digital program using Dreamweaver CS6?

    I am planning to create a web page that could launch Reflection for UNIX and Digital program as part of my project in my working area.
    Is this possible?
    I am a beginner in using DW. I am still studying how to properly use Dreamweaver thinking that I could provide the requirement of my project.
    Thank you for your comments.

    This is a question for Attachmate, the maker of Reflection, not Adobe, the maker of Dreamweaver.
    Dreamweaver is a tool, not a technology. It builds applications using HTML and Javascript that run on web servers using the HTTP protocol. So I think the question to as Attachmate is:
    Can Reflection be launched from an apache webserver using HTML, PHP or Javascript?

  • Possible to make plug-ins for Photoshop using Dreamweaver?

    With the new cc 2014, I have been doing a little bit of research into how to structure a plugin for my workflow when I animate. I've been reviewing the cc 2014 sdk guide and I have been wondering if it is possible to use Dreamweaver cc 2014 a Photoshop cc 2014 extension for Photoshop since it's full support of html 5. In the guide it explains that almost anything you can do when making chromium extensions, you can do with Photoshop cc 2014 (or any other).
    Has anyone tried this?

    Dreamweaver is web authoring software for creating HTML, CSS and other client-side and server-side code.
    Photoshop is a totally separate graphics app for creating images, not code. 
    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see how you could use DW to build a PS plugin.

  • How can I trigger a lightbox slide show with a single image using Dreamweaver?

    I'm trying to build a page for a cosmetics company in which clicking on a color swatch opens a lightbox-style slide show of model shots using that color makeup. Each swatch should trigger a different slideshow. I'm using Dreamweaver (CS6), and I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, but I haven't figured it out yet. (It would be a snap in Flash, but alas, the site needs to work on a broad range of devices).
    I'd appreciate any ideas, and please make your instuction easy to follow if possible—pretend you're talking to a dog, or an eighty-six-year-old—because I may not be as experienced as I ought to be. Probably not.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    best,

    DW doesn't do this for you. 
    Get the jQuery Fancybox plugin.

  • Create Connection to MYSQL database which is on server using Dreamweaver CC

    Hello,
           I created a site using Dreamweaver CC and i have used the FTP server for this. Now i want to connect it to the database that i created on my server with the table. I am unable to figure out what IP address should i provide to connect to the database as my database is not running locally. I have added the screenshot as well. Kindly help me.

    Hi,
    you can't export and improt database simultaneously. like as said Mr. Ben Pleysier.
    Actually it's possible but I would recommend using this method. This method is more confidence. because you have two database file (your pc and  remote server) and we are backed up files at the same time
    you can export and import database manually.
    firstly we export database file at local computer. (This process will be done on the local computer. localhost)
    you can see an examples below images.
    localhost php my admin panel on my pc
    1.
    2.
    We have record database file on the computer.
    and going to remote server php my admin panel. for import to database file.
    Remote Server Php My Admin Panel
    1.
    2.
    I hope I could help.
    bye

  • Help!!Custom app. using dreamweaver

    Let me start off by saying I am some what of a noob to what I
    am trying to do here so bare with me.
    What im trying to do is make a shop control app. for my
    company using dreamweaver and excel. What I would like to do (but
    not sure if it's possible) is make what I will call a "shell" page
    using dreamweaver that will open and let me modify and save excel
    spread sheets in ie or firefox. I would like to have 1 standard
    spread sheet I can use for each part number we make, and the shell
    page to open the spread sheet in what looks like a high end web
    page and put the data in the appropriate place in the page so it
    can be modified and saved back to the spread sheet.
    So my question is, is this possible?
    Let me know if you need any more explanation and any reply
    will be appreciate

    What is your proficiency level with -
    1. HTML and CSS
    2. Server-side scripting
    3. Integration of databases with DW
    The answers to those questions will determine the answer to
    the "if it's
    possible" question. If the answers are -
    1. Slim
    2. None
    3. None
    then I think you will need to consider hiring an experienced
    developer to do
    this work.

  • Problems previewing all my sites using Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.

    I have restored my hard drive (from a previous Ghost image)
    and now encounter problems previewing all my sites using
    Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.
    If I preview (using localhost:8500) I get the message "Unable
    to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
    localhost:8500." IE has similar message.
    If I preview (using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost:8500) I
    get the page but no images or CSS loads.
    An address such as:
    http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/gettingstarted/experience/index_content.cfm
    loads just fine - seems CF is working okay.
    All the sites used for testing locally have been used for
    some time (years) and work on my unrestored drive.
    My thoughts: after I restored my hard drive image I installed
    both Norton Antivirus 2007 and resintalled ZoneAlarm. I uninstalled
    both of the programs but the problem remains.
    Any help is much appreciated. I have spent the last two days
    trying to get this to work and as many of you can identify with...I
    am supposed to be working....!

    Hi,
    JSF 1.1 doesn't coexist nicely with HTML components.
    So if your goal is to build layouts in HTML then this
    will not produce the result you want
    Skins in 10.1.3 are slightly different than in 11
    (selectors may have changed their names). If you need
    to specify the class property to make skins work then
    this indicates that the skin selectors you use are
    not the correct ones.
    FrankHi Frank,
    thank you for your help, I'm replacing every html component with adf one, panelGroup, panelHorizontal, panelBorder, objectImage etc... etc... but I have a problem...
    I need to put an object component about Macromedia Flash and I cannot find any adf component to replace it. Any idea please?
    Thank you again.
    Ciao.

  • Can I use Dreamweaver to import data into specific fields on a website?

    We need to build a website that will allow us to import data from an existing database, into specific fields on website (desktop and mobile).  Is it possible to do that in Dreamweaver?

    Ben answered your question. You asked if one CAN use DW to call data. Just understand that it isn't necessary to use DW for this, and there are good reasons not to.
    Using a plug-in or data behaviors allows you to get up and running quickly, but they are like training wheels on a bicycle. Eventually they cripple your capabilities and you have to go back to the beginning to learn how to do things right, which means making the connections and writing the code yourself. Why not just do it the right way from the start?
    If you script the database connections and queries yourself, you can still work within DW.
    You did not specify which kind of server, database or scripting language you plan to use. The typical configuration is MySQL database and PHP scripting on Linux.

  • Blog/News posting using Dreamweaver/Contribute

    This is a general question and I hope I'm posting in the
    right place.
    I have a client who wants a site that can be maintained using
    Contribute. I've figured this being the case, I'd be best to set it
    up as static HTML files using Dreamweaver, rather than the hand
    coded ASP I usually use. I'm familiar with storing page content in
    a database as XML and using XSL to generate HTML. Obviously this is
    not going to work with Contribute.
    I understand the process of creating pages using Dreamweaver
    and/or Contribute. What I don't understand is how I can replicate
    the dynamic news item menus etc that I can produce so easily with
    ASP and a database. Is it possible to allow the user to create new
    pages through Contribute and have links to these automatically
    updated on the home page, or would they have to also add a link to
    the home page? Coming from my background, that seems like a step
    backwards to me, so I hope there is a neat way of doing it.
    Forgive my ignorance if it's a common practice. This is my
    first attempt at a site with CS. I've done some training on CS work
    flow but it didn't cover dynamic content, blogs etc. I appreciate
    any advice that comes my way or please let me know if I should post
    somewhere else.

    Thanks for the reply.
    >Can you do something in asp
    Yeah I can. Currently what I do for existing sites is that
    all content is stored in the database. I have some special code
    that grabs the current news headlines (based on some rules) and I
    automatically build a news menu for the home page. Parsing
    directories would be a bit painful I think but sounds like that's
    the only option.
    I'm still trying to get it straight in my head how Contribute
    will integrate into the whole thing. I think I'm right in saying
    that Contribute will only work with flat HTML files, not anything
    built on the fly server-side like ASP. So all the maintainable
    content needs to be in a flat file and any pages with dynamic
    content will not be maintainable by the client.
    >Will a real serverside blog suit the clients needs?
    Could be but I guess that depends how easily I can integrate
    it into the site with regard to appearance and navigation. They're
    not going to want a sub-site with different look and feel. It also
    gives them another maintenance interface to deal with for the blog
    content and the reason they're insisting on Contribute is that they
    already use it for their other site. I suppose RSS would be the way
    to keep the news links up to date in that case. A home page with an
    RSS feed back to the blog.
    Thanks for the input though. I'm trying to get up to speed
    quickly with this problem as they want a quote and it's the blind
    leading the blind at the moment I'm afraid.
