Catastrophe Proof Website Update Checklist

EVERY time you need to update your website, you need to do the following after you open Dreamweaver.

1. Connect to the server and Synchronize.
• If you’re unsure about the status of YOUR files, ‘GET newer files from REMOTE’.
• If you think you have something newer on YOUR computer, ‘GET and PUT newer files’.
• Approve changes if needed.
2. Double-check the FTP is looking at YOUR files by setting the location to ‘LOCAL’.
3. After you make changes:
• Save the HTML file.
• Check the file in a LOCAL browser. (Right + Click on file go-to ‘Open in browser’ and click on the appropriate browser).
• PUT the local file to the REMOTE manually.
• Check the website on the internet to see if your update worked by using Shift + Refresh (🔄) on the appropriate page.
