I created a new site in Dreamweaver and actually Matt helped me with some jquery problems I was having - thanks again Matt!

Now I have finished the site which was intended to replace an old one. My brother who has the hosting package for the site said that I needed to create a site within the root folder called /public_html/new so that once it was complete he could transfer the files into the live site /public_html and make my old site public_html/old.(In case we need anything in the future)

All went well and the new site is up. However I am now left with an empty public_html/new folder when I go to the remote button. I need to correct some things that I(and others......I swear it is a case of 'cannot see the wood for the trees' when you have been working on it for a while) did not see before. I cannot connect with the live site because it is in a folder that is not in my dreamweaver site. I cannot do anything because although I have corrected my pages in local view on Dreamweaver when I go to remote to upload I only have the empty folder. I have tried changing the name but it will not let me. What can I do? I have tried synchonizing but that does not work as the public_html/new is not recognized and now has no function? Please please help me I am going mad! The site is up and there are errors that need to be corrected!

By the way you can see it at

My brother has no knowledge of Dreamweaver. I am soooo stuck and going crazy!

Any help would be soooooo much appreciated!!!

Many thanks

@tinalouise50: I know next to nothing about Dreamweaver too I'm afraid. Sounds like you might need to change a "site root" (or similar) setting somewhere?

You could of course use an FTP app to download/upload files from/to your site, independently from Dreamweaver.
