Dreamweaver to Godaddy

Can someone please for the love of God tell me how to get my website from Dreamweaver CS3 on to my Godaddy account. I’m having a terrible time, and Godaddy is ridiculously fubard.

ok, I just found the answer to this, I had the same problem. The info Godaddy will tell you to plug into dreamweaver’s manage sites ‘basic’ setup is wrong. Go to the ‘advanced’ tab in the manage sites edit menu…

For the ‘Local Info’ section, the top part is easy, just click the folder icons and search out for your main and images folders from your hard drive (your local copy), then under that, make sure that for ‘HTTP Address’, you’ve entered your website in ‘http://www.yoursitename.com’ format, including the http://www. part.

In the ‘remote info’ section, for ‘FTP Host’, Godaddy probably told you to type in ftp.yoursitename.com. Delete all that and put in your IP address.

If you don’t know your IP address, go to godaddy.com, sign in, click on hosting in the left menu, then click the ‘manage account’ link, and then under the ‘account summary’ section will be your server IP address.

For ‘Host Directory, just type in a back slash (/)

Then type in your username and password, I’ve got checked ‘use passive FTP’ and ‘maintain synchronization information’ and nothing else… Don’t know if that’s required for it to work but that’s how mine’s set up.

Once you’ve plugged in your ip address instead of the written ftp.blah.com, it should connect! Happy HTMLing!
