How do I connect dreamweaver to my public_html folder?

Posted on March 12, 2015

I sort of installed the LAMP server pretty quickly and then installed ProFTPD on Ubuntu 12.04.

But I cant actually ftp. I can connect to my usernam or my root but not to the public_html.

This is probably really simple but as i cant solve it its an impassable barrier.

I can fire up MySQL and can see the Apache page. It all seems to run ok but I just cant upload files to the public_html part.

I have read other questions and none of them help.

I can log in from FileZilla and then move up the directory structure to /var/www/html but I cant do it in Dreamweaver as I canr log into public_html

That doesnt work at all.

On DW you can manually set the remote path to /var/www/html/ this is in site configuration remote options inside DW options

I do believe this was me!!!

‘manually set the remote path’ indeed.
