How do I upload only the html files of my website in dreamweaver?

Rather then clicking on every file in every folder and then clicking put, is there a way where I can just ask it to put HTML files only?

You should be able to upload all of your files; irregardless whether they're HTML; CSS; etc., and you should be able to copy / paste all files if you highlight the 1st file; scroll down and hit "Shift" to highlight all files, then hit "Copy" ... if not, you don't have a good host.

Yeah I can do that for all the files.

But I just want the HTML files. Not images, PDFs or anything else that maybe in there as well. As the site is fairly large it takes sometime to put the entire site.

So, what's the problem? If you can update all other files, you should be able to upload / update the HTML files at the same time.

Yea there is a option where you can tell DW to upload the file after you save it. Other than that, there isn't a way to just click a button that "uploads only html files".

Of course you could highlight the site folder in the File panel and put the files that way. Only updated or non-uploaded files with put.

It sounds like your files are mixed up and probably unorganized, I suggest you put all of your images in one folder, your pdf files in one folder, and all your html files in your root folder.

They are all organized. But being its a website for a town, we have heaps of advertisers on the website so I have one html file, an image, and anything else that they need on their page all in their own folder.

So thats the bit thats making it hard to put the HTML files only.

How many pages are we talking here? And how often do you reupload your html files?

Like I said there is no option to just upload this file type or that file type unless you can find some extension that will do it. Have you tried using the "Synchronize" feature? You can "put" any updated files in the local site to the server.

about 100+

I have just completed the site, so at the moment it is having a few updates fairly often as we think of more things to add to it. Or we see something that should be changed.

the site is www.echucamoama.com. (I know it looks gay in FF, will work on that soon.)

I think so. I used templates so I don't have to manually update every page. When I update the origonal template it asked if I wanted to put that file, but it doesn't put the actual HTML file that is seen.

Am I doing something wrong there?

Hey I like the site. Your Header pics look really nice. What dreamweaver version do you use?

Thanks.

I did not take the pics, they were taken for a advertising campaigne that we are running. But they are great pictures!

I am using Dreamweaver 8. And using Fireworks 8 for all the graphics.

Oh really, that's cool. I have Studio_8, which is the whole pack.

I hope a little bit of shameless self promotion is okay here, but this is a problem I run into a lot keeping my own site up to date. I'll change a lot of jpegs, or run a search and replace over all the html files, and want to send up a specific type of file. I'm a programmer, so I wrote a tool to do that - filter all the files in a site, and upload them by FTP. It's freeware, I don't want your email address, there's no advertising or spyware or anything else.

It'll also track changed files, so you can upload just those; that's what the screen shot is. But if you type html into the "filter" box on the toolbar and hit enter, it will show you only the files that have html in their name. And then you can queue all of them up to send.

Sounds pretty awesome!
I will most definaitly download it!

Thanks heaps!

Nice piece of software there ForrestCroce. Also, some very nice photos on your site.

I agree. Great software. Very cool. I'm not a moderator here or anything, but I get the idea it's fine to drop a link to a free tool when it answers someone's question. I mean that's pretty different from spamming the board with totally unrelated links, or trying to sell people on things. But those are just my two cents.

I just downloaded the software.

I can't log onto my site. it comes up with a box saying "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined."

What could I of done wrong? :S

How did you enter the server address?

Mine is ftp.landscapephoto.us/public_html - if you enter it in this format it will append ftp:// before making the web call.

Sorry for the annoyance - I'll have to make it smarter about this.
