This seems to be becoming a more popular request.  I think if you want to see this feature you will need to do a feature request.  One possible solution for this would be to have the option to define a site that does not have a local site folder.  For now you can save on upload in the Advanced portion of the Site setup where you define the FTP information, but no option to work only on temporary files.

Only thing to realize is that if this scenario would be true, you would lose the Wordpress code-hinting because in order to do this DW adds a file to your local machine if I am not mistaken.  Plus, the Live View would be pointless since you would need to save the file to see changes and if you save the file it would then go directly to the website defeating the purpose of that as it is currently built.  Just something to think about.

I feel your pain. It was a big mistake when they removed this functionality

Has anyone found a work around for non-fusion sites?

Murray, here's my dilemma:

I do most of my work on a computer that is locally networked to the server that hosts the files so I do not need FTP or any other out of network access to the files when using this computer.

Sometimes I do need to access the files from my laptop, remotely via FTP.

If I setup the locally networked computer so the server folder is my Dreamweaver local folder and I do not set up a remote server or remote folder, it works and I’m able to search/replace but then when I preview in a browser, it previews using the local path (e.g.; \\server\website\root\) instead of the sites URL so dynamic content does not show. I would like for Dreamweaver to use the URL instead of the path. The only way I can get it to do that is by setting up a remote server and selecting ‘Local/Network’ under the ‘Connect Using:’ settings. Then I specify the same folder as I did for the local site. I guess it’s working but I have gotten write errors before.

If I use my laptop to access remotely, I would like the ability to use the search/replace function but I guess the only way to do that is to have a local site on the laptop?

So please tell me exactly how does RDS differ from FTP?

What do I put in each of the input boxes? The tiles differ from the FTP boxes.
