If you previously used a WebDAV connection to edit pages in Dreamweaver, you will need to delete or modify your existing connection. This can be done through the Site Menu -> Manage Sites and click the edit button with your existing connection highlighted.
1. Open Dreamweaver by clicking on Start > Programs > Adobe > Dreamweaver .

3. The next window will ask you about Server Technology. Click on No > Next.
4. Select Edit local copies on my machine, then upload to server when ready (recommended). In the text box near the bottom of the page, you'll want to tell Dreamweaver where you will be storing local copies of the pages that are on the web site. We recommend creating a new folder in your My Documents folder and giving it a name that you'll know it's your web folder. When finished, click Next.
5. Select FTP from the drop-down menu.
What is the hostname of your FTP server?web-prod.spu.edu
What folder on the server do you want to store your files in? /depts/[Your Dept Folder]

8. The next screen will show you how to begin the process of updating your pages. Under Open a Recent Item, it will list any of the pages you have opened recently and will provide shortcuts to those documents for quick retrieval.

9. In the white section of the window on the right side (Files), you'll see the words, "To see your remote files, click the [connect] button on the toolbar.
