Find and Replace not posting to site

May 11, 2012 1:12 PM

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Macbook Pro.

 

I wanted to execute the find and replace feature a few times for a group of selected files on the remote server.

 

One of the items to be updated is this:

 

<a href="../index2.html" title="Home Page">

 

I would like this to become:

 

<a href="../index2.php" title="Home Page">

 

I simply need this specific index2.html to become index2.php

 

I can not seem to interact with Dreamweaver in such a way that the actual files on the hosting server are displaying in a browser with the updated content.

 

Please advise.....

    Use Find & Replace on local files.  Save.  Then upload to remote server.

    I was hoping that I could use the Find and Replace options within Dreamweaver to simply replace the specific source code I needed to change without the extra work of having to download local copies of 50 different files, then upload them back to the site.

     

    If I were to follow your suggestion, please let me know if this is possible:

     

    Using an FTP client, I could download the files needing updates to the local folder that Dreamweaver knows to be the local folder for the site.  Then, I could interact with the find and replace option Dreamweaver, and then use the FTP client to replace the files on the website.

    I tried doing the FTP client download and replace, and this seemed to work, so it wasn't as much work as I thought it might be.
