Hi All:

I'm trying to work an ftp program. All I have used work about the same way: there are files in the left panel; if you want to upload it to someone else's server, you connect, highlight it and move it over to right panel. I am trying to move an edited web page.

I have done this, and the file appears in the right panel, but the receiving party says she wants to "see it online."

How do I get it online?

Thanks for all help.

It sounds as if the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) action was successful.
In order to "see it online," the file in question must be served to the public. This is what a World Wide Web server does. You must place the file in a directory or folder from which the WWW server gets content.
However, if your friend just wants to review the design, she can point her browser (File>Open>Browse) to the file location and name.

Thank you, Shawn. That helps.

Unfortunately, not enough.

I don't understand the meaning of:

"served to the public"

"World Wide Web Server"

"Place the file in a directory or folder from which the WWW server gets content."

I guess what I need to know is, after I have fixed the code in Dreamweaver, I always preview it, and the changes I have made are there. But when I go directly to the site, they're not.
