Ok heres the deal, I decided i wanted to start developing my domains on my own, i have a free server set up and hosting space, and dreamweaver. But what i need to know is how to put everything together like to get files from dreamweaver onto the internet and from the internet setting it up as the website.... are there any tutorials out there??? or is someone able to explain how to do it? :D

I use Cute FTP Pro, It's one of the easiest ones I have used.

i think, the best thing to do is, get your FTP server (usually ftp://ftp.yourdomain.tld) and type it into iexplorer. When the access box appears enter your username and password for the FTP server, and click OK. Then just drag and drop into the correct folder (usually web or htdocs).

If you get to grips with that, a program such as SmartFTP would be good. Its what I use, and it is great. It does what I need!

When you start getting used to it though, you will want to use an FTP program. I think that dreamweaver has one built in - with sites and all that but its a little complicated.
