Hello all,

I installed Dreamweaver 8 today and went to upload some files only to find that it did not keep the same structure as my local directory. Instead it placed a new directroy with the files in it. This is confusing and really makes me miss the way uploading was in Dreamweaver 4.

In Dreamweaver 4, you could build a page and when you uploaded dreamweaver would automatically upload all of the images, flash, or whatever content was included in that page to the remote server and keep the directory structure the exact same. This was excellent.

Then in DreamweaverMX 2004, you had to manually upload all content. For example, Dreamweaver no longer automatically uploaded images used on a page. You would have to manually go to the images folder after uploading the page and upload the images.

Now Dreamweaver 8 is uploading and creating a new directory?

I'm starting to think I dont have some options set correctly? But the default way is definitely confusing. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark

When uploading it should ask "Do you want to inlcude dependent files" this is the feature your talking about from DW4. But it sounds like your properties.

in the site properties, have you set a default directory for anything on the remote side, or you just have it as root?
