    Question FTP setup in Dreamweaver 8 - confused

    I have a BlueHost site (http://www.mistywindow.com) with 3 sub domains and 1 add-on.
    Everything was created and published in FP 2003.

    I wish to remove FP extensions from the main and subsites on my server and be able to publish using FTP with Dreamweaver. I've cleaned up the HTML in preparation.

    Now I am totally lost. I'm not even sure what my FTP address(es) should be. Before I remove FP extensions I need to be know how to publish with FTP.

    A screenshot of my BlueHost FTP Accounts Manager, which has me baffled, is here:

    Help!

    This should be pretty straightforward. The FTP site address is just www.mistywindow.com. The folder is public_html. The FTP login is your main BH username, which is mistywin. The password is whatever your password is.

    I created a tutorial in Microsoft Word for this:

    You sub domains will be a folder in public_html

    Smile Thank You!

    Thanks Early Out - I've been worrying about that for weeks!
    I thought - it can't be that easy - it was.
    Worked a treat and I haven't even removed the FP extensions.
    The folder "public_ftp" contributed to my confusion. I assumed that I'd have to put my files to there.

    its good to browse the control panel, and use the manager to browse.
    if you not sure what you doing, put up a sample file, and try access from web. you will understand the structure after some testing
