Uploading Streaming Video or Audio Files Using Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver works great for authoring web content but it also works well for uploading your streaming video and audio files.
Here's what you need to do to FTP (upload) your streaming files using Dreamweaver:
First create a folder for your streaming videos.
Open Dreamweaver and Choose New Site from the Site pull-down menu.
Once the Site dialog is open select the Local Info category and click on the Advanced Tab and give your Site a name (This can be any name you choose to use for identifying your FTP site).
Next, click on the folder icon under Local Root Folder and navigate to the folder you specified as the folder for your streaming videos.
Now click on the Remote Info category under the Advanced Tab and select FTP for Access. Type in your FTP Host information i.e 120.21.120.76 is an example of what you might type in for an IP address.
Type in your User and Password to the FTP location on your Streaming Server and Select test to check your connection to the Streaming Server.
If you have problems connecting select the check box for Passive FTP.
If your test goes well click the OK button and then choose Done on the Edit Sites dialog window.
Choose Site files under the Site Pull-down Window and click on the Connect button which looks like two cables connecting. Your computer should connect to the Streaming Server. Lastly, drag your video or audio files from your local folder (on your desktop) to your remote folder (on your Streaming Server) and your done.
Note: The above tutorial is using Dreamweaver MX. Some functions in Dreamweaver 8 are different but many are the same.
