Where is the most recent file? This question is one that you'll probably ask yourself more than once throughout the develop- ment of a site. Dreamweaver solves this problem with an option called File Synchronization. This feature compares files between the local and remote site and will determine which is the latest version. If the latest version lives on the local site, it will upload that file accordingly. File Synchronization can also delete files on either the local or remote site, if the file doesn't appear in both versions of the site. You can apply the synchronize command to selected files, or apply it site-wide. Synchronizing Site Files Synchronize Files Click the Window menu, and then click Files to display the Files panel. Click the Expand button to show local and remote sites. Select the file or files that you want to synchronize (local or remote). Click the Synchronize button. TIMESAVER Click the Site menu, and then click Synchronize Sitewide. Select from the following synchronize options: ◆ Synchronize. Select between synchronizing the entire site, or only selected files. ◆ Direction. Select Put Newer Files To Remote (default), Get New Files From The Remote, or Get And Put Newer Files (wherever they exist). ◆ Delete Remote Files Not On Local Drive.

NOTE If no synchronization is required, Dreamweaver prompts you with a dialog box, asking if you want to see a list of the files, and then change them manually. Click OK. Once the synchronization is complete you can save a log of the actions performed by pressing the Save Log button. 8 7 6 87 Did You Know? You can display detailed information for a synchronized file.

From the Library of Wow! eBook ptg 506 Chapter 21 Cloaking files hides the selected files from many of the file transfer commands, such as: Get, Put, Check In, and Check Out; however, it doesn’t protect files when using Synchronize. For example, you have a folder on you local site that contains original uncompressed source documents, such as Photoshop and Flash. There would be no need for these files to be uploaded to the remote server, so you cloak them. Any file format you cloak remains in your local folder and will not be uploaded unless you manually override the cloak setting. In addition, cloaked files do not appear in the Assets panel. Cloaked files can be controlled by extension, such as all FLA files, or they can be controlled individually, regardless of their extension. You can cloak specific fold- ers, even multiple ones; however, you cannot cloak all folders or an entire site.

Select the files or folder within the site files, right-click (Win) or control-click (Mac) the selection, point to Cloaking, and then click Cloak or Uncloak. A red line through the folder icon appears or disappears, indicating the folder is cloaked or uncloaked. 3 2 1 2 3 See Also See “Defining Site Cloaking” on page 484 for information on enabling cloak- ing and specifying the file types you want to cloak.
