Upload using dreamweaver?

Upload using dreamweaver?

My main moodle site is for a team of academics to write a course.  One of the main uses is to have a secure website where the latest drafts of the courses get posted.  Its a bit of a clutchy use of moodle but there are/were reasons (not least was that I wanted to play around with moodle smile ).

Dreamweaver allows an FTP like upload of files to a web space  - I wondered if it possible to upload webpages without having to zip files up and using the moodle files system the while still keeping the web pages secure?

Thanks

Richard, based on the test I made, you can upload the pages using teh Dreamweaver FTP (both in web and non web space, depending on what allows your FTP setup), but if you upload the DW pages in a non web space (such as the moodledata folder where course files are generally stored) , all external references (css, javascript, images etc.) will be broken. In this case it is better to zip your Dreamweaver site, upload the zip file from within Moodle, uncompress the zip then link to the file as resources: in this way all external references will work while remaining protected.

If you still does not like this way, you can upload your DW files in a web space folder after having protetcted them: i posted some info about this here.
