homepage overwritten by deafult file in anothe folder?

M

missy

Hi I have a vary large website that has sevral sub directorys. I have made an
edit to the default page in one of the sub directories, saved verified on
the dev server, then clicked publish to remote site. It published the page
but it overworte the default page *my home page* in the root of the site,
rather then overwirting the deafult page in the folder I was working in.
Why did it do this, do I need to specify the folder it need to be published
to on the remote website? Dreamweaver automatically put the pages in the
correct folders, its called cloaking- does front page have this???

thanks!

If you are working in a subweb in FP
- you need to publish from your subweb to the subweb online
- or publish your root web and include subwebs in your remote web site properties




| publishing from development server to live site server, so publishing.
