How to Upload With Dreamweaver MX
Adobe Dreamweaver MX is web-development software designed for "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) site creation. Make your Web site available to the public by uploading Web page and image files from your computer to the Internet using Adobe Dreamweaver MX. Once a user purchases a domain and hosting service, he or she creates a username and password with which to obtain site management permission. Dreamweaver MX uses these login credentials to upload Web pages and files from the local computer to the remote server.
