    You mean download files  from the remote server to your local computer hard drive?

    If you have the FTP log-in credentials for your server, it's not hard.

    Define a Site.    Go to Site > New Site.

    Under Servers, enter your log-in credentials.  If unsure what to use, contact your web hosting provider.

    With Files Panel expanded, click Connect to see the contents on your Remote server.  Use the Down Arrow to GET selected files/folders from server to local folder.

    Post back if you have any questions.

    Dreamweaver is an HTML code editor.  It is not a web hosting provider.

    A web host is a company that has public facing web servers to which you upload your site files and associate with your domain name that you purchased from Network Solutions.   Some examples of web hosts in no particular order:

    • DreamHost
    • Bluehost
    • HostGator
    • Hostmonster
    • InMotion
    • Lunarpages
    • Pair Networks
    • 1&1
    • GoDaddy (although I can't recommend them)
    • and many others....

    Only through their Business Catalyst program.  Largely aimed at businesses who require business web solutions and hosting rolled into one.

    Can Tech support help me hook up Dreamweaver, Network solutions, and my HTML?  I would like to know before I buy Dreamweaver?
