Dreamweaver Problems

[Caboose8]

Hey, I'm kinda new at this so I need a little help. I've been using Dreamweaver CS3 to make my site, an using the feature where you can directly upload stuff to my site. But I can't fugure out how to get it to upload into the /public_html folder. So far I've had to upload it to the main folder and move it in manually, then If anybody knows how to use Dreamweaver, please let me know.

Also, could someone explain ftp?

When in Dreamweaver, set your FTP path to public_html/.

Your username and password should be what you got in your welcome e-mail, and your host is your domain name.

If you can take a screenshot of the configuration page for FTP I could help more. I have no prior experience with it.

As Brandon said, under the "Host directory" box should put "public_html/" and then the same for the testing server - if then under the "Url prefix" make sure you remove the public_html/ part so it then means when you press f12 it loads it and tests it in your actual site.
