Publish To Test Then Production Server

Question

Never mind - I think I figured it out. It simply depends on
which server you are connected to, that's where it's going to put
them. You know, you'd think this simple tidbit would be *SOMEWHERE*
in some documentation in Dreamweaver. Harumph!
I feel kinda stupid. For many, many years I have been using
DreamWeaver to edit locally, then I PUT to my production server.
Wasn't an issue before. If it didn't work, I fixed it quickly and
no one was the wiser.
Things have progressed significantly, lately, with more
developers, so now I need to incorporate a test server. Fine. I
have a separate test server, went in and modified my site settings
to now include a test server. Get and put will get and put from/to
that test server just hunky-dory.
But how the heck do I migrate the code to production now? Do
I log on to the test server and PUT from there? There is no "put to
test" versus "put to production" button. I may a victim of
overthinking this, but your help appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

You need two site definitions. One would be local/remote at
test, and the
other would be local at test/remote at production.
Make sure you are using either checkin/checkout, or some
other version
control application when operating in an environment like
this.
