Question

Uploaded files trying to connect to local

I just updated a site that I have had online for years. Now for some reason the images, style sheet, etc now show a path to my local computer rather to the files uploaded to the webhosting. The only thing showing is the basic html text.

All these files show today's date in the uploaded files.

Could I have accidentally clicked on something either in Dreamweaver or File Zilla that redirected the path?

This is rather urgent, I really need to fix the issue.

    If you edited the pages in DW without creating a Site Definition, you could get the file path to your HD on the links.

    Defining a new site


    Once the site is defined, when you save the page, the links should be "Document Relative" and drop the extended absolute file path to your hard drive for something more like ../pages/page1.html
