- Install and launch the Dreamweaver program
- Setup connection to Development webserver (cits-cfdev.umaryland.edu): - Map Network Drive
- Before you can setup your site connection in Dreamweaver. You will first need to map a network drive to the development webserver. Please contact the Web Development Department by emailing webdevelopment@umaryland.edu so that an account/access can be setup for you to map to the drive and appropriate directories for your website.
- For the Drive field, enter the following information:
\\cits-cfdev\inetpub\wwwroot\FOLDER\ - Note: You will need to replace "FOLDER" with the name of the directory for your website
- Once you have a network drive mapped to the Development webserver, launch/start the Dreamweaver Application on your computer. Choose Site from the menu and click on New Site.
- Make sure that "reconnect" is checked when mapping the drive connection
