Any website designers/ dreameweaver users?
 
I just have a couple of silly questions I need to ask about uploading stuff to servers.

What are the questions...?

Well I want to be able to view a flash video on the site but I have been told I need to upload it to a my server. I'm not sure what that is or how to do it :sad:

Right, this has nothing to do with Dreamweaver.

Files on a website are loaded onto a webserver. In order to get them there you need to use an FTP programme, of which there are a number out there, such as Win FTP or Terrapin.

If you know how to use it, DOS also has an FTP program.

The other packages however are more graphical and similar in appearence to Windows Explorer.

The FTP program allows you to transfer files to your web site as it is hosted on the webserver.

If you have access to your sites cpanel you can also upload from there through the file manager.
