Connect to an RDS server without defining a site

You can connect to an RDS server to work on your documents without creating a Dreamweaver site. If you work on files without creating a Dreamweaver site, you will not be able to perform sitewide operations, such as link checking.

  1. Select Site > Manage Sites.
  2. Click New and select FTP & RDS Servers.
  3. Enter a name for the server in the Description text field. This is the name that will appear in the menu at the top of the Files panel.
  4. Select RDS from the Access Type menu.
  5. Enter the URL that users type in their browsers to open your web application, but do not include any filename.

    Suppose your application’s URL is www.adobe.com/mycoolapp/start.html. In this case, you would enter the following URL prefix: www.adobe.com/mycoolapp/.

  6. Click the Settings button to complete the access information.
  7. Complete the Configure RDS Server dialog box and click OK.
