Dreamweaver and PWP @att.net

This page includes instructions on configuring Macromedia's Dreamweaver for uploading your personal Web pages to PWP @att.net.

Note: You will need to find your AT&T Worldnet Service account information.

You may view the instructions for the Macintosh here.

Note: Access to the AT&T Worldnet PWP servers from another ISP is now available. If you are accessing the PWP servers from another ISP, please see instructions for configuring Dreamweaver with TLS Wrapper.

1. Launch Dreamweaver. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
   
   
2. Select Site FTP from the left column.
3. Choose the way you want your files to appear in the FTP window using the Show Files drop down menus. Local files may be on the left or right as you wish. Set the time out to be between 120 and 200 seconds rather than the default value of 15 seconds.
   
   
4. Next select the Define Sites button on the above preferences screen and the following screen should appear. There are 4 areas to take a look at: Local Info, WebServer Info, Check In/Out, and Site Map Layout:
   • Local Info:
     
     Site Name: Give the site a name if you wish. You don't have to use the default name that is shown in the Site Name box.
   • Local Root Folder: Select the local root folder. In other words, tell it where your Web pages are on your computer if you have them in a special place. This way they will always show on the FTP window automatically. Click on the small folder on the right to browse to the folder on your computer.
   • HTTP Address: Leave blank.
   • Web Server Info:
     
     
   • Select FTP from the server access drop down list and this will open up the next window. This is where you add your PWP FTP information.
     
     
     • FTP Host: upload.att.net or upload.worldnet.att.net
     • Host directory: leave blank
     • Login: Your e-mail ID (the part to the left of the @ sign)
     • Password: Your e-mail password
   • The Check In/Out and Site Map Layout windows were left at the default settings.
     
     
     
5. Configuration is complete now and you are ready to FTP.
6. From the File menu, select Open Site and choose the site you created.
7. You will get a window like this:
   
   
8. Press the Connect button and you should see your files appear as follows:
   
   
9. Select files on the local side and drag and drop to the PWP server side or, select files and then click on the Put button to upload.

If for some reason this method above does not work, try entering the following for HTTP Address and/or Host Directory instead of leaving them blank:

HTTP Address: http://home.att.net/~emailid/
Host Directory: /
Change the emailid to your e-mail ID. Don't use the ~ sign.
Example: If your e-mail address is johndoe@worldnet.att.net, then your e-mail ID would be johndoe.
Make sure to include the slashes (/) as shown above.

If you've followed the instructions exactly and are having problems uploading, try the troubleshooting steps in our PWP FAQ.
