Hi community.

I've a problem 😞

To develope web page, normally i use a staging server protected form basic authentication.

How can use dreamweaver live preview?

If i try to preview page, obtain this message:
Unauthorized

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Anyone can help me?

Thank you.

Sorry, I don't understand your workflow or what your problem is.

You upload scripts and documents to a remote staging server, right?
From your browser, you go to the staging server's URL and log-in with a username & password to test the site, right?
What has any of this have to do with Dreamweaver's Live/Design view which is not a browser?
Or if I don't get this right, please elaborate.

If you are using authentication to preview a URL you used to be able to do things like this: http://username:password@example.com/ . However, that functionality was removed from browsers a long time ago. Have you considered using a VPN or other secure connection to access your server instead of basic auth?

Define your site -- Site > New Site or Manage Sites.

Create two remote server connections, one to your test server and one for your remote server.

Off course, but... this is not the problem.
