Note: If you want your changes to upload immediately on saving, be sure to check the feature for that under the advanced settings! It’s off by default. Then click the plus sign to add the FTP information and the name of the local folder. The only difference a remote site has over a local site, is that you will go to Servers to set it up instead of Site (on the left column of the new pop up box see image). So the first thing we have to do is to connect up our Dreamweaver to the site’s FTP location. This is super easy to do, and many of you probably already know how to do it.Rinse and repeat until your changes are done!.‘Put’ the newly compiled CSS file back up to the server (assuming it compiled successfully).In Dreamweaver, open the LESS or SASS file you want to edit.In Prepros, add the local folder to your projects (and rename if necessary).
Set up access to your Dreamweaver FTP and download the site (or at least the portion of it you will be working on). Due to the number of windows and programs open for this job, your work space becomes cluttered, and I often find myself distracted and losing focus because of it.ĭisclaimer: This method uses Dreamweaver and Prepros but may be applied to other processors and/or text-editors as well. Not only is it a minor inconvenience, but it tremendously slows down your process. Using several different programs to accomplish one task, you have to download the files from FTP, pull them into Prepros, edit it in a text editor, compile it, upload it back to the server, do testing, and repeat as needed. It’s unfortunate, then, that using a CSS preprocessor language like LESS or SASS - which otherwise make our lives so much easier - ends up taking forever to make small tweaks. One of the things we strive for as developers is efficiency. If you are unable to have specific entries in the Site Manager or just isn’t worth the loss of organization, the method below is for you. It requires each site to have a specific entry in the Site Manager, and you can check out the full documentation for that here. Edit: Dreamweaver 2017 now natively can compile CSS preprocessor languages like SASS and LESS.
