Open Dreamweaver. Click 'Site' from the menu at the top of the screen. Select 'Manage Sites' from the drop-down selections. Then, select 'New Site.' Select the 'Advanced' tab.
Enter your site's name in the 'Site name' field. Select the location of your site for the 'Local root folder' by clicking on the folder icon next to the field. Your local root folder will be the location on your computer where you saved the website files you created to upload to Bluehost. Navigate to the folder of those saved files. For the 'Default images folder' field, click on the folder icon next to the field to select the location of your site's image folder. Your image folder will be a sub-folder of the location where you saved the website files you created.
Type the entire URL for your website in the 'HTTP address' field. Check the 'Case-sensitive links' box. (Bluehost files and folders are case-sensitive.) Click the 'Remote Info' category in the menu list on the left-hand side of the dialog in the 'Category' area.
Select the FTP option from the 'Access' drop-down menu. Enter your domain name in the 'FTP host' field in the format yourdomain.com.
Type '/public_html' (without quotes) in the 'Host directory:' field. If you are publishing a site to an add-on domain, type '/public_html/addon' in the field. An add-on domain is a new domain that you have added to your Bluehost account. The domain that you listed when you set up your Bluehost web hosting account is your primary domain.
Type your FTP username and password in the corresponding fields. Your cPanel username and password are identical to your FTP username and password. The cPanel is your web hosting control panel. You will see a link to it when you sign in to your account at Bluehost.com. You received the username and password via email when you signed up for Bluehost. If you created an additional FTP account for other users, the username will be in the format username@yourdomain.com. Click the 'Test' button to check settings. If you receive the error message 'An FTP error occured - cannot make connection to host', double-check that you have typed your FTP information correctly.
Check the 'Maintain synchronization information' box. Click the 'OK' button. Click the 'Done' button.
Connecting To The Web Server Using Dreamweaver
Click the 'Connect to Remote Host button,' which is the first icon in the Files panel in Dreamweaver. The program will retrieve information from your website and show the file listings in the Files panel. Make sure you are viewing the Files panel in expanded mode so you can see your local files and the server files in windows next to each other. Clicking on the very last icon at the right in the Files panel toggles the view.
Select 'Local view' from the top right-hand drop-down menu in the Files panel. Your local files will be on the left side of the panel and your remote web server files on the right.
Select all of the files on the local side by clicking and dragging your mouse over them. You can drag and drop files from the local side to the remote side, or you can click the 'Put files' button, which is a blue arrow icon pointing upwards, to transfer the files. Once you have transferred your files, your site is uploaded.
Go to your website's URL to check your work.
