I've been trying to save my webpage onto a remote web hosting site with dreamweaver. I have been attempting to do so with their "manage site" options where you can enter your ftp address, login and password but it does not seem to connect and keeps telling me that I have the wrong password? Is this not the best way to transfer my files or should I use a seperate ftp program? I am very new to this and have purchase several books to make this work. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
