Testing Server Not Pushing Files

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me configure this feature.  I can manually Put the file, but I'd like to push automatically.

I have a Site with an IIS Testing Server defined.  The Site files and the IIS Testing Server are on the same computer.  They're connected using a Local/Network "Connect using" setting.

I have "Automatically push files to testing server" checked.  However, when I save, the saved file is not copied over.  I'm looking at the contents of the file through a text editor and the timestamp, rather than a browser which might cache a page.

I've tried a few different Server Models.  "None" is the most appropriate for what I'm doing.

I'm running 18.2 build 10165 on Windows 10 Pro.

Thanks,

Carl

    nope, it is not an HTML document but a PHP one that is not pushed...


    All of my documents are with a PHP extension, but that does not make them dynamic.

    I think that what we mean is that a document that is dynamically populated is a dynamic document. But it becomes a static document once that information has been delivered. In other words, is there such a thing as a dynamic document?

    I still feel that the article needs further explaining. We both know that the process does not work as we think it should.

    My local site is in my testing server's default web directory.  See screenshot below.  So when I save files they are automatically saved to the testing server.  No duplicate files, no putting or pushing needed .

    Thanks Nancy.  I'll keep this workaround in mind.

    However, I'd like to sort out the source from generated code without having to resort to Cloaking or .gitignore.

    I remember this function being there for a long time (as in 15 years ago).  Does it work for you?  If not, what does the checkbox mean then?

    Strange.  Not a workaround.  It's how I have ALWAYS worked with dynamic sites since DW 8.

    Not sure I understand the 2nd part.   Why would you need cloaking or Gitmore?
