Organizing a local site in Dreamweaver
When it’s time for housekeeping and moving files from one folder to another, you can rely on the Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS3 Files panel. You can display the Files panel by choosing Window > File, or pressing the F8 function key (to toggle between displaying and hiding the Files panel).
The Files panel menu has options for typical file management actions, like creating new files or folders, renaming files, copying or pasting files, deleting files, and so on (Figure 1).
