list of new features is highlighted here: View Site FTP Log: Clicking this option opens the FTP Log in the Results window and displays a text-based log of FTP activity for your defined site. Site Files View: Choose this option to display a list of local files in the right pane and remote files on the left pane. The is the default view. Testing Server View: Choose this option to display a list of local files in the right pane and testing server files in the left pane. Site Map View: Choose this option to display a list of local files in the right pane and the visual site map in the left pane. We'll discuss this feature in more detail later in the chapter. Also notice the file view columns we configured when we defined the site. As you can probably tell from Figure 4.22, our Checked Out By column is hidden. If you decide that you want to view the column again, you can revisit the File View Columns category for the defined site by simply choosing the File View Columns option from the View menu. Uploading Files to a Remote Server Although the Site Management window includes advanced features for managing your defined site, its true power lies in the fact that it's actually a built-in FTP client. Because this is the case, we can easily connect to our remote server and transfer files by simply dragging from the local pane and dropping the files into the remote pane. Although it's possible that you might not have a remote server defined, I'll attempt to demonstrate the functionality here: 1. Click the Site Files View button. 2. Click the Connect button. Assuming that your connection, login, and password are valid, your remote site files appear in the left (Remote Site) pane and the Connect icon displays a green light. 3. Select and drag a file from the Local Files pane into either a folder or the root in the Remote Site pane. Immediately, a dialog similar to the one shown in Figure 4.23 appears. Figure 4.23. The Dependent Files dialog allows you to include all dependent files in the FTP process.   What you're seeing is yet another site management gem. All we've done is drag one file from the Local Files pane over to the server. Dreamweaver, recognizing that the HTML file being transferred includes dependent images, alerts you of this. If you choosing Yes from the dialog, Dreamweaver will automatically transfer all these files for you, sparing you the trouble of manually locating all images and media elements that may also need to be transferred manually. 4. The Background File Activity dialog appears, showing a progress indicator that describes the status of the file transfer. Although the dialog initially appears in a minimized state, you can expand the Details pane by clicking the small arrow icon next to the Details label to reveal a detailed file transfer list similar to Figure 4.24. The real beauty in this updated dialog however (previous Dreamweaver users will attest to this) is that it can be minimized. If you're transferring a lot of files and you have other work to do in the meantime, you can simply click the Hide button to minimize the Background File Activity dialog to the task bar. Previous versions of Dreamweaver forced you to wait for the file transfer to complete before you could move on with other work. Figure 4.24. The Background File Activity dialog displays a detailed list and progress indicator for the overall transfer process. [View full size image]
