Transferring files with the file browser


    Use GoLive's file browser to connect to a publish server and transfer files from the Files tab or your system desktop. You can use the browser for any file transfer purpose, not just for transferring Web site files. You can open multiple instances of the file browser and even drag files between them.

    Note: If you want to upload an entire site, or perform an update so that the local site and the server-based site are synchronized, use one of the Upload commands on the Site > Publish Server submenu (or the equivalent button on the toolbar), rather than the file browser.

To perform simple file transfers with the file browser:

  1. Choose File > Connect To FTP/WebDAV.
  2. Choose a server from the Server menu and click the Connect button.
  3. Note: If no server is available, click Edit Servers and select a server from the Select Publish Server dialog box. If there are no servers listed, click New and follow the instructions in Setting up access to set up a connection to a publish server.

  4. Do one of the following:
    • To upload a file or folder, drag it from a site-window tab or the desktop to the file browser.
    • To download a file or folder, drag it from the file browser to a site window tab.
    • (Mac OS only) To download a file or folder, drag it from the file browser to the desktop.
