In Dreamweaver we have our local site and our remote site. The local site is at our desktop, and the remote site is essentially the server, where our courses are held. Is this correct so far? If we make a change on the local site, we FTP to the server and it shows up on the remote site. What if you make changes directly on the remote site? Would you be making changes directly on the course that sits at the server level? Would the changes show up in the course when you access it online?

Let me explain what we are trying to do.
I work for state government, training. Our legislature just ended the session, needless to say we need to change some of our content. The problem is the timing. We have users accessing our courses everyday. The policy that is changing is effective on 7-1-02. The current material we have in our courses remains in effect until 6-30-02. We have been updating our courses locally and not FTP'ing them to the server until the evening of 6-30. Unfortunately, amidst all of this another major change took place that needs to be updated on the current course materials and we need to get it out on the server ASAP. If we make the updates in the local site, we cannot FTP until 6-30-02 or all of the updates would be posted. If you make changes on the local site they show up on the remote site once you FTP. What if you make changes on the remote site? Are you actually changing the pages that are posted out on the server? If not, what is the purpose of the remote site other than verifying your information is the same on the server and your local site?

unfortunately you cannot change the remote files without making changes in the local one. here is a work around
1. Define a new site for a blank directory. Call this site as MyOldSite
2. Download all your server files into this site
3. Update the modifications that need to take effect immediately
4. Synchronize this site
When done remove this site from the site definations. On 6-30 just upload the newer version Ranjan
