I am currently a graphic designer student and are doing a task where I make a website. So, I am half way in the html coding and was asked to download the html files to one.com so my teacher could see the website. But now I can not edit more in the html files in dreamweaver... how do I fix this?

 

This shows when I try to save the files:

    @Karoline Bøthun,

    Is this your computer or a school lab computer?

     

    If it's your computer, don't you have a local site folder on your computer's hard drive?

     

    On Mac, click the Finder icon in the Dock to open a Finder window.

    Choose View > Show Path Bar, or press the Option key to show the path bar momentarily. The location and nested folders that contain your site files are displayed near the bottom of the Finder window.

     

    In Dreamweaver, go to Site > New Site and enter the location of your local site folder.

    Hello Karoline,

     

    To complete what already said @L e n a , I think that you should take 5 minutes to understand how DW works, or how to use it.

     

    Both links she gave you are very instructive.

    Define a website https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/how-to/define-a-dreamweaver-site.html

    Uploading files https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/getting-putting-files-server.html

     

    You'll also find plenty informations from

     

    Please don't hesitate to ask again, if you still face problem and issue

      Two questions :

      • Did you define a website in DW ?
      • How did you upload files to one.com ?

      Hi:)

      I am not sure what you mean if i defined a website in DW, but I can send you the coding I have done maybe it shows there?

      (I am not that into coding yet, started with it last week;))

      I will also send a screenshot of where the files are in one.com:

      Hi Karoline !

       

      Well, you can find info on defining a website here, https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/how-to/define-a-dreamweaver-site.html

       

      When you upload files, that do mean that files are then located on a webserver, and those files canno’t be edited anymore by DW itself.

      DW works only with local files located in your computer.

       

      The dialog box you got, can also means that your very first files where located on an external drive as an USB key.

      So if you remove the key, or plug it again on a different letter assignation, that can cause the troubles that you get.

       

      Of course, if you send a screenshot of your code (the part located in the HEAD of the HTML document), that will be helpfull
