Site Management and Collaboration > Getting and putting files

Getting and putting files

If you're working in a collaborative environment, use the Check In/Check Out system to transfer files between local and remote sites (see Using Check In/Check Out). If you're the only person working on the remote site, however, you can instead use the Get and Put commands to transfer files without checking them in or out.

Note: If you select Site > Get or Site > Put while the Document window is active, and if the current file is not part of the currently open site, Dreamweaver attempts to determine which of your locally defined sites the current file belongs to; if the current file belongs to only one local site, Dreamweaver opens that site and then performs the Get or Put operation.
