You may add, edit or delete files on your MyWeb website in Dreamweaver by connecting through the MyWeb server using the directions below.

CAUTION: These instructions are for editing a website live on the MyWeb server without using a local copy. Saved changes are immediately applied to the MyWeb server. If you wish to have a local copy, refer to How to: Connect to MyWeb and edit content locally and publish.

1) Make sure that you have activated your MyWeb service.

2) Connect your Mac to the TTUnet network using a wired, wireless, or VPN connection.

3) Click anywhere on the desktop to activate Finder. In your Mac's menu bar, click the Go menu and choose Connect to Server.

4) The "Connect to Server" prompt will appear. Type the path smb://myweb.ttu.edu/users/your_eRaider_username and click Connect.

TIP: Click the plus symbol (+) to add the path to your Favorite Servers so that you will not have to type the address in the future.

5) If you are prompted for credentials, choose Registered User, type your information as shown below, and click Connect.

• Name: ttu\your_eRaider_username
• Password: your_eRaider_password

6) Open Dreamweaver and click the Site menu. Choose Manage Sites from the menu.

7) Before adding a new entry for MyWeb, review the list of sites to see if you have existing entries listed for your personal TTU website (MyWeb). If so, consider selecting them from the list and clicking the minus sign to avoid confusing them with the new entry that you are about to add. (This will not delete or modify any of the actual files stored on the server.)

8) Click the New Site button.

9) In the new window that opens, click the Site sub-section if it is not already selected. Type a name for your site in the Site Name box. This can be any descriptive name you wish, such as "MyWeb".

In the "Local Site Folder" box, type smb://myweb.ttu.edu/users/your_eRaider_username

10) Click the Servers sub-section, and then click the plus (+) button.

11) Under the Basic tab, configure the following settings and click Save.

• Server Name: any descriptive name that you wish, such as "MyWeb"
• Connect using: Local/Network
• Server Folder: smb://myweb.ttu.edu/users/your_eRaider_username
• Web URL: https://www.myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username

12) Click Save.

13) If you get a message about the cache needing to be recreated, click OK.

14) Click Done.

15) Click the File menu and choose New.

16) Choose the type of file that you wish to create from the "Document Type" list, give a name for the file next to "Title", and click Create.

17) Edit the file with the buillt-in file editor and save the file. Your changes will be immediately applied to your site. Refresh the site to view applied changes.

OUTCOME

You will be able to edit your MyWeb website with Dreamweaver. Any changes you save will be immediately visible to anyone on the Internet at https://www.myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username or https://myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username.

CAUTION: Files you delete from MyWeb are unrecoverable.

The name of the home page required is one of the following:

• index.php
• index.asp
• index.aspx
• index.htm
• index.html
• default.php
• default.asp
• default.aspx
• default.htm
• default.html
• home.php
• home.asp
• home.aspx
• home.htm
• home.html

The web server will look for the file names in the order listed above. The file name is case sensitive. If you rename your home page file to one of these file names, then the page should show up when you go to your website's URL at either https://myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username or https://www.myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username. Be sure you have your home page in the root directory of your account and not in a sub-folder.

If you restart your computer or lose connection to your MyWeb server, you may need to follow Steps 3-5 again to re-authenticate with the server before you will be able to connect to MyWeb in Dreamweaver.
