Website and Computer Help

[bigruss]

So I am taking over the website for my business fraternity and I am using Dreamweaver for it. I have dreamweaver on my laptop but I am having trouble accessing the website source from my laptop so I cant really do anything. When Im on a school computer lab one I can access it by going to My Network Places, I believe that is using a modified version of Windows XP. My laptop has Windows 7.

 

So any ideas on how to get both on my laptop? Im not sure how to set up the connection to the website from my laptop, or to put dreamweaver on the school computer without downloading it on it.

 

Any ideas? I am somewhat tech savvy, but not hardcore at all so any guidance is appreciated.

I noticed no one has offered any help. I have not used Dreamweaver, so can only offer a general sort of help, and maybe this is too basic.

 

Basically you create the web site on your hard drive and upload it to a server. So it exists in two places. To start with, you need to download all the existing files to your laptop. You also need to keep all directories intact so it mirrors what gets published. I have used various ftp programs to do this, but whomever is hosting the web site probably has an interface to accomplish this. From there it is all using Dreamweaver. Create on the laptop and upload to the server. It may take a little time (minutes) to update, so don't freak out immediately if something doesn't appear correct.

 

Did you receive all the passwords to the website? The host should have those files password protected.

I reread your question and had a couple more ideas.

 

Can you log on your laptop to the school's network with the same privileges as the lab computers? That should solve it.
