FTP is the standard protocol for transferring files on the Web.

To transfer via FTP in Dreamweaver MX (DMX) or Dreamweaver 4 (DW4), users enter their remote location information in the Site Definition dialog box. Then in the Site panel or Site window, click Connect and then Put to upload selected files and/or folders. This transfers the selected files or folders to the specified directory at the remote location.
