My question is - When I update documents and move images to different files etc, Dreamweaver in turn follows through to update file movements so the links work from the new location(wihout having to update links individually), how can I do a file transfer to include all changes Dreamweaver has processed??

Hi Tracy,

I'd recommend the Synchronise Files feature. You can synchronise after Dreamweaver has updated all the files with the new link information.

Dreamweaver MX

Once you’ve created files in your local and remote sites, you can synchronize the files between the two. Use the Site > Synchronize command to transfer the latest versions of your files to and from your remote site.

Before you synchronize your sites, Dreamweaver lets you verify which files you want to put onto or get from your remote server. Dreamweaver also confirms which files have been updated after you complete the synchronization.

To see which files are newer on the local site or the remote site, without synchronizing, do one of the following:
Choose Edit > Select Newer Local or Edit > Select Newer Remote (Windows, from the Site panel).

To synchronize your files:
1. In the Site panel, choose a site from the Current Sites list pop-up menu.
2. Select specific files or folders. (If you want to synchronize the entire site, skip this step).
3. In the Site panel, choose Site > Synchronize. (The Synchronize Files dialogue box appears).
4. Complete the dialogue box.

Dreamweaver 8

For Dreamweaver 8, follow the instructions above, but use the Options menu in the upper-right corner of the Files panel and select Site > Synchronize.
