What files do I put on a remote server?

This is a basic general question. I am a beginner with
dynamic web pages. I have made a login form using Dreamweaver CS4,
php, mysql. It works fine on my computer (Mac intel based), but I
don't know what files I need to upload to the remote server I use.
I used MAMP to set this up.

You need to upload the php, html, and css files.
You need to create the mysql database on the remote server
using the same
name and table names as you did locally
a MySQL database is not a single file you upload, it is an
application
running on the server. Depending on your hosting, you will
have access to it
using a control panel, CPanel, command line, or phpmyadmin.
Once into
whatever access method you have, there will be options to
import things once
the db is created.

JRV,
I can understand that, 1stly I am not a scripting guy, I know very very basic of this,
2ndly, I need help , I am not asking anyone here to write code for me, I have already wrote that but its not doing which its suppose to do,
check below screen shot, after running suggested script, it has mapped drive ,
now I do not want to do that, I want just files to copy from that machine to my machine, and want script which I can run from any PC,
Tried with UNC PATH as well, but not making any difference, its keep mapping that server drive to my computer

Bill - he still sees that "connection" although it isn't mapped it is attached temporarily.
P - Log off and log back on and the attached connection will be gone. It is temporary. Again - knowing the basics of WIndows would let you know this.
We have given you all of the answers that are possible. There is no other way unless you have installed things like PowerShell and PowerShell remoting or an FTP server.
If you do use a drive it can be just as easily deleted after you have finished the copy.
Again: "NET USE /?" will tell you all of the options.
Saying you know nothing is not an excuse for not thinking or looking more deeply into the suggestions made by those trying to help you. This is not a MIcrosoft support forum or help desk. It is a forum for admiinistrative scripting and assumes
that those coming here are technically trained or experienced in the basics of Windows technology.

HTML files uploading to remote server, not reflected on website.

After minimal adjustments to an HTML file, I upload it to the remote server. The local and remote files reflect this in the "modified" line, both mirroring the same exact time. However, when I go to the actual site, the changes don't appear.
Now, when I update the html file, say cv.html, it also makes the same changes to 2.html. When I click on the link on the website, it appears at 2.html. Somehow cv.html and 2.html are linked to each other. (I guess to keep the overall web address smaller)?
I just took on this website to manage and I've already hit a million roadblocks trying to get it started on my end, so anyone that can solve this I would be SO grateful!

Somehow cv.html and 2.html are linked to each other.
Could be CV is being pulled into a framed parent page called 2.html. Or maybe your previous web developer used server-side includes to populate page 2 with content from other site files. It's anybody's guess what may be going on until you provide us with more detailed information. A URL is preferred. Copy & pasted code is a 2nd option but don't use e-mail, it won't come through to the web forum.

Write records to a Flat file & Ftp to a remote server

I know this would be a basic question for most of the ppl in this forum, but I am stuck in here.
There is a "Orders" table, and when new orders are made , I need to build a file with relevant information(extracted from tables) and FTP to a remote server.There should be a SQL job that would run for every 30 mins to see if there are any new orders made , and if so, Write them to a file and FTP back to a remote server.
The orders that were written to a file previously shouldn't appear when new files are created.
How can this be done..?
Thanks in advance..

You'd need 3 basic components here
1) Something to identify new orders
2) Something to write whatever data you want to a flat file
3) Something to FTP that file
#2 is going to be the UTL_FILE package
#3 is going to require a third-party PL/SQL (or Java) FTP library. If you do a Google search on UTL_FTP, you'll find a few such PL/SQL packages or you can download an appropriate Java class and load that into the database.
#1 can be as simple as a Status column that gets set to NEW initially and PROCESSED when the file is generated. Or it could get a lot more complicated with something like Streams capturing changes to the table and sending those change records to a separate consumer process that would then generate the file and FTP it.

How to set synchronise to test or remote server

I can't see which remote server will be synchronised in CS3.
I have set up a site with a test and remote server.
Local files are held locally, the test server is inhouse on an apache server, and the remote server is the actual webspace account.
I can synchronise the local files to either the test or remote server, but its not clear which remote is currently set for the synchronisation. The way I;ve found so far is to select the remote or test view on the dropdown, and whichever was the last selected will synchronise with the local files. This will eventually lead to a wrong update!
Is there a way to set or see which remote will be used to synchronise?
Thanks
LenW

It is true that this is VERY badly documented, if at all.
To summarize what many want to do (and for good reason):
1) Developers PC. Running Dreamweaver and has the local site defined on it. No database, no server.
2) Testing PC/Server. Running web and database servers on the local network. Typically Apache, MySQL and PHP
3) Production Server. Out on the net somewhere.
After this is all set up, here are the problems that one encounters:
- When editing "normal" HTML it is fine. You edit, click test, and it saves and copies it to the test server and displays it. When done, do a "put" or "sync" and it goes to your remote site.
- If you are editing some PHP or CSS that is not directly in the HTML page, you are screwed. Hit test, and it saves and displays your HTML page, but your new PHP or CSS code is STILL ON YOUR LOCAL MACHINE ONLY!
- If you are constantly fine tuning PHP or CSS code, you might as well just keep a file manager window open and manually copy things around. DW just seems unable to do it.
Of course if you want to put everything on your development PC (LAMP, XAMPP whatever), you don't hit these problems. But who wants all that crap running on your day to day machine? The testing server is a much more professional setup. And it gives you yet another free backup of your stuff. Trash an important HTML file? Just pull it back from testing server. No need to dig through backups.
You can really never be sure what DW is going to synchronize. I only use it to PUT things to the remote production server, which seems to normally work fine. How to best keep the testing server in sync with your PC is not clear at all.
I've seen a few suggestions, but Adobe really needs to document how to run DW in a professional fashion, not like a toy tool!

Problem in connecting remote server using Applet?

Hello everybody,

Wrong Modified Times On Remote Server MAC

Hello,
One of our graphics designers that updates our website has an issue with her Dreamweaver CS3 for MAC, that when she refreshes a newly uploaded file, the file will show an 8hr difference in the modified column. I tested this by creating a new file on her local machine and checked its created/modified time which matched the Mac's time correctly. I then uploaded the file to a random folder on the live server which by the way is on our local network. At first in Dreamweaver, the remote server shows the modified column correctly but as soon as I click refresh the newly uploaded file shows 8 hours ahead. I know this is a Dreamweaver issue cause I checked out the servers time which was our local time zone and I also connected to the live server via Filezilla and not via Dreamweaver’s FTP which shows the create modified time on it correctly. So local machine is ok, remote server in same time zone is ok, viewing remote website files via Filezilla ok, viewing the remote server via Dreamweaver wrong. Remote site is running Linux and Apache.
Thanks,
Myronl

I have this problem all the time too. It drives me crazy because I share updates with one other person and constantly get the message "there is a newer file on the remote server" which 99% is due either to the time difference - and I don't know how to adjust for this in Dreamweaver - or this bug. But I always have to cover myself by creating backups and downloading the file in case she actually uploaded a new file. And no I don't use "check in" which is a real pain. So this is all a real waste of time.
Thanks!

Registry ? or other file ?

Can't upload "put" files to remote server unless they are in a folder. Please help.

I have done many searches on this and found no solutions. Here is the problem:
When I upload a file from my local site to the remote server it works fine as long as that file is contained in a folder.
Example:
I can upload an image from my images folder, or a template page from my template folder with no problem.
BUT, I can not upload any web/html pages, my CSS page, site map, or any file for that matter that is simply in the root directory but not in it's own folder.
When I try to do that I get this error:
index.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put index.html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files with errors: 1
index.html
So every time I make a change to my index page I can't upload it to the server without getting that error unless I use a 2nd party program like Filezilla - which works fine. It is only Dreamweaver doing this.
I have been using dreamweaver for a long time and had no problems with this site. This all started happening out of no where. and it is happening on my work and home computer.
I made no changes to my server preferances or anythijng like that.
I was just doing my thing - being happy - and then BAM, not happy any more....

Hi there. First off thank you for your interest and your help.
I have done what you suggest probably 30 times as I have obsessed over this crazy problem for a couple straight weeks before I finaly gave up on CS5.5
I'm not sure what you mean by REMOTE server. The only server settings I am aware of are the ones in Dreamweaver. Here they are:
5.0 Settings:
Server Name = the same values on each
Connect Using = FTP
FTP Address = same numeric value on 5.0 & 5.5 port 21
User name = same on both
Password = same on both
Root directory = is blank (I have tried it using / with no luck as well)
web URL = http://ftp.westbrookadvertising.com/www/htdocs/
Passive FTP is checked & Use FTP Peformance optimization is checked.
5.5 Settings:
Server Name = the same values on each
Connect Using = FTP
FTP Address = same numeric value on 5.0 & 5.5 port 21
User name = same on both
Password = same on both
Root directory = is blank (I have tried it using / with no luck as well)
web URL = http://ftp.westbrookadvertising.com/www/htdocs/

WEBSITE NOT REFLECTING EDITS OF HTML FILE THAT WAYS SUCCESSFULLY "PUT" TO REMOTE SERVER

Help! I'm hoping there is a simple reason why I can't get my simple edits to reflect on the website.Here is what I have done/tried:
1. opened and added one simple line of text (with one link to a pdf) to one page of the pre-exisitng site.
2. checked both properties and code to make sure everything matched the preceding, similar line of text
3. connected successfully to remote site through dreamweaver
4. tried both "putting" and synchronizing the file (along with dependent files)
5. the first time I did this I got the message that "no syncronization info is available" from the remote site
6. clicked ok (after going back and unchecking "maintain synchronization information," and making sure there were no sync files in the _name folders)
7. it took a long time to upload all of the files from the local site. when it finished, the log stated that everything put successfully, but the website
doesn't look any different.
Our root folder is saved on our server. We just recently changed web host providers.
Also, for each webpage, there are two html files (one general and then one with a 1, 2 or 3 column descriptor). I edited and put both to the site, but is there
something I should know about these two files?
?? I just need to make some really simple edits and I don't understand why they are not showing up!!??
Any help would be deeply appreciated!!!
Thanks, Jessica

I followed your instructions and was able to see the dummy page in the browser. (no file not found error)
OK - that's good.
I only have one site defined (should I have two - one for local and one for remote?)
Well, one site definition has the ability to contain local and multiple remote site specifications. Under the basic Site category in the Site definition, you will see the path to the local root folder. Under the Servers category, you will see each server that has been defined - usually a Remote server (that would be your web hosting account) and a Testing server (if you are coding a site with server scripting). It's normally the case, with a simple, static HTML site, to have just Local and Remote details in your site definition.
I called our host (Go Daddy) to ask what the name of the root directory was and they instructed me to just leave that blank. so right now it just appears as \
Actually, it should be either blank or "/" (the regular slash).
If you are able to see the dummy file that you browsed to but still do not see changes made to other files, then it must be that the host is caching files on your site. You would have to ask them that question. Otherwise, you should see changes that have been uploaded immediately.

Put files onto Remote Server?

I am connected to the remote server and have tried repeatedly to put files onto remote server. It either says successful or not transferred and the new page never gets put up. What am I doing wrong? I have put files on my remote server before, but all of a sudden it is not working for me.

This is what it is saying..

Transfered Local files disappear when put in a different folder on remote server

Hello everybody,
I know this question is kinda asked a lot, but I cant seem to find the right answer that relates to my problem.
I am trying to "put" my local files on my remote server. I managed to get two files in the right folder on my remote server.
But now every single time I put one of the other local files on the remote server, it comes in the main folder (that works fine). I then have to drag it to the right sub-folder in
order for my website to work. When I drag these files into this sub-folder, they disappear on the remote server.
I keep putting the local files in the remote server and this works, but putting them in the sub-folder of the remote server doesnt work.
Does anybody know what the problem could be?
I try uploading from the hosting website, but my website doesnt work, I checked all the files, the links everything works. Therefore I am now trying it through dreamweaver.
Also I check the remote server online and the two files that did work, showed up there, so its all connected fine.. :s
Im using Dreamweaver CS5.5
Any help would be great, I need to get this website uploaded tomorrow for my uni assignment, also if somebody knows a good WORKING freehosting website, please let me know
Thanks,
Maartje

Yeah the folder on the remote server is htdocs , I am putting all the files in the htdocs folders, otherwise it says my website doesnt work.
Your remote site is not properly defined. Put "htdocs" into the Root Directory: field of the Remote server's definition. Now your files will always upload to the correct location.
Does the order of the files need to be the same too?
No. They are ordered in DW in the way that you have specified by clicking on the associated column headers.

HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from. I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore. So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks

I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.
Here is a picture of what I get

Error message in Putting a file to remote server

Hi:
Although I am able to connect to the remote server, I am receiving the following error message when "putting" a file:
An FTP error occurred - cannot put prices.php. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
I was able to accomplish the task using a different FTP client. I am using a new installation of CS5.5
Any ideas as to solving the problem? Thanks!
Rgds, Ned

Hi Murray:
That field is blank, as it should be. Host is GoDaddy, as it is with many of my clients. Tried a test with another site, and it "put" OK.
I tried uploading a fresh test file to my remote, and it was also refused. WS_FTP works fine.
Rather weird, that's all. I did some more reading, and I see that there are other recent Forum questions with occurances similar to mine. Maybe Adobe will fix it soon,
Thx, Ned

Suddenly can't put files to remote server (again)

Hello,
In Dreamweaver 5.5 (OS 10.7) I suddenly can't FTP to the remote server. I had this problem a couple months ago (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5145574#5145574) and it was fixed by the following suggestion:
Close DW. Reboot your computer. Open DW. If you still cannot FTP to server, go to Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache.
This worked for me the last time, but unfortunately it hasn't solved the current problem.
At the moment, the updated files go through the normal process of being "put" to the server, but the changes don't appear when I check the live site. I've tried refreshing the page and emptying the cache. The files seem to be uploading to the correct location (they are not being put into a sub folder or anything). I've verified that I can connect to my web server. I haven't changed anything in my site definition and this problem just appeared out of the blue.
Just like when this happened to me before, there are random files that want to synchronise (even though they haven't been updated), but nothing changes on the remote server. I've also tried to synchronize by 'deleting remote files not on local drive', but that doesn't help.
Here is a glimpse of my current FTP log, in case that is useful:
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!
