Testing Server

Hi Folks - My testing server is identical to my remote server. I have a
question ... How does DW handle page testing of an existing page? Is it
uploading the page with a temp name for testing purposes? Or? If someone
could give me a brief overview of the process, that would be nice. Thanks.

Okay, I give .... I have been able to make a testing server connection.
However, I don't think I understand the concept of a testing server. I have
files at www.mydomain.com. When I view my remote files, I can double-click
on a file and it will be transferred to my local site. I make changes to the
file and I want to test them prior to loading to the production system.
However, when I test the page, it FTPs the file to the production server and
displays the page in the browser. That seems to contradict testing first. I
would think that it would put them in a temp area for testing. Once I have
confirmed the accuracy of the page, I can then put the file to the
production server. What am I missing here? Do I need to specify a testing
folder?

Note: The testing server and production server are the same account.

Thanks for any help.
