Manage file transfers



You can view the status of file transfer operations, as well as a list of transferred files and their outcomes (transfer successful, skipped, or failed). You can also save a log of the file activity.

Note: Dreamweaver lets you perform other non-server-related activities while you’re transferring files to or from a server.
