Dreamweaver CS5 makes it easy to create a new website. All you need to know is your site name and a folder on your hard drive. But once you want to move your site to the internet, you need to get it to your web hosting provider.

So, you need to set up a remote server profile in your site settings.

The easiest way to do this with a new site is to go to your Files panel (in the Window menu, choose Files if it is not already checked) and click on the Up arrow to PUT files.
