Site Configuration (for the U Drive) in Dreamweaver

From the Dreamweaver Menu select Site, New... and choose the Advanced Tab as shown. Then select Local Info from the Category window on the left

Local Info

Local root folder:
is your working directory. This might be directly on the U drive if you have access from where you work, or on the C drive where you've set up a parallel directory structure.

Links relative to:
indicates how you want Dreamweaver to edit your links. For WWU servers use "Site Root" so that your links start with "/" indicating the root folder of the site.

HTTP address:
Use your real URL, up to the root folder and "/" but no file name.

Case-sensitive links:
On UNIX servers the folder "docs" is different from "Docs" so it's important that when Dreamweaver proof-reads your links it checks for case. However the best practice is to use only lower case characters in directories and file names and then there will be no confusion.

Remote Info

If you are working from a place where you have local/network access to your files on the U drive, then you can save files directly to the server and do not need to connect to the Remote Site. But if you want or have to do your development "offline" you can define a remote site and save your files once you have them debugged and ready to go live.
