I don't have a copy of Dreamweaver here. I usually use a dedicated FTP utility, either SmartFTP or FireFTP.

But, basically speaking, FTP utilities let you mark a file as text or binary prior to upload. If a file that should be text (like a CSS) is marked as a binary, then it won't work right on the server. You'll have to figure out how to do that in DW...

Hi Lee,
I have been all over the net looking for answers...my instructor isn't responding as yet...SOOOOO....

Is there another way to do this internally in VWD? There has to be a way to code this to upload as text only within the CSS and the master page itself . If I were more experienced, I wouldn't ask...but I am just learning this stuff. I know with coding, there is always more than one way to skin the proverbial cat... any ideas there? Can it be done or am I chasing shadows?

Thanks,
K.

I don't use VWD, but I am pretty sure that there is a Copy Website command available which would let you upload via FTP from within VWD.

Another option, as I mentioned, would be to use a different FTP client. FireFTP is a really good free one that works with the FireFox browser as a plugin.

Hi Lee,

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help. The issue actually wasn't with Dreamweaver, but with the way the school webspace was configured. BUT... I would have never gotten there had it not been for your input. Whew! What task.

So I wanted to say thanks, your feedback led me in a different direction, which I doubt I would have pursued on my own.

K,
