8. In the Web URL field, type the URL at which users will access the site.
Dreamweaver automatically defines this URL based on your other choices in this dialog
box; the default value will be “http://” plus the FTP Address plus the Root Directory.
In our example, the default was http://atctest.pairserver.com/usr/home/public_html/
atctest.pairserver.com/.

You need to change the URL to the path a user would type in a browser to access your
site. In our example, the address is http://atctest.pairserver.com/.

Note that we removed the root-directory folder path from the URL; it is only required
when you upload files for viewing over the Internet.

Make sure you enter the correct information for your domain name.

You must receive a message stating that
Dreamweaver successfully connected to the
Web server. If a connection with the Web
server cannot be established, check your
entries to make sure your Internet connection is active, and then try again.
(If you are working on a shared computer, you might want to uncheck the Save option.
However, you will have to retype your username and password every time you upload
files to your hosting account.)
