Default using Dreamweaver for www and wwws - 05-30-2008 , 11:21 AM






Previously all of my files and folders have been under the www folder on our
web server. Now I have to develop one page in a wwws (secure server) folder.
This page has all the same formatting (css style sheet and DW template) as the
rest of the pages. However, if DW is setup for the host directory to start in
www then any html file I put into wwws will not be able to see my
css/Scripts/SpryAssets folders under www.

Would I need to create a new DW site that points to the wwws folder and copy
my current template/css/Scripts/SpryAssets folders? So if I changed something
in the template for the www site, I would then need to do it for the wwws site
also? Is that the best way to do this?

The only other thing I can think of is leave the secure file and folder under
my current setup and let template changes filter to it but not upload it using
DW (since it would go to www instead of wwws) but instead manually FTP the file
to the wwws directory and link absolutely to it.

Yes - it's the best and the *only* way to do it, I believe.
