This section of the Basic setup corresponds to the Testing Server category in
the Advanced View, which gives you additional options that are involved with creating
dynamic sites, such as choosing the server model that is used on your remote server.
5. At the top of this section, Dreamweaver asks, “How do you want to work with
your files during development?” Click the option “Edit local copies on my
machine, then upload to server when ready (recommended).”
At this time, you will be working with files that are located on your machine—you don’t
need to have access to a remote server. Editing files that exist on your computer is the
most common selection. If you have a remote server, this option means that there are two
copies of the files—one copy on your local hard drive and a second copy on your server.
This gives you the option to retrieve the original files from the server if necessary—
provided that you haven’t replaced them by uploading files that were changed locally.
Doing production and testing work on your local hard drive prevents unfinished pages
from being publicly displayed.
If you were working directly on a server, any changes you might make would be
immediately applied to the original files.
