    How do I move all my websites to a new computer?

    sneakyimp Community Member

      I just assembled a powerful new windows 7 machine and I want to move all of my dreamweaver projects to this new machine from my old computer.  In particular, I want to copy server hostnames, usernames, and passwords.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?

          You need to export your site definitions.  Go up to Site | Manage Sites | Export and check the option to export usernames and passwords.  This will create a.ste file.  You then get that file to the new computer, Go up to  Site | Manage Sites | Import, then find the .ste and import it.  You should be all set then.

           

          This does not move files to your new machine,  it only gives you the site definitions.  The folders you have to get to your new machine with a disk or other portable data device.

            I recently did something akin to that and unfortunately Dreamweaver CS5 seems to have uploaded (onto my new computer) all of my sites' passwords and other settings into merely one website's folder, ignoring the desired creation of the other folders.  So I'm kind of stuck in a ditch at the present time.     Might there be a reliable online tutorial somewhere for such password and user name data migration from computer to computer, please?
