I have 2 simple .asp pages with a small database I'm trying to get running in the real world. I created the site and it runs on my pc using pws. Now to convert to the web, do I need to create a whole new site with ftp as the remote? Create a new dsn for my server provider? Any tutorials that walk you through this process? Thanks

Well,
As you are using a DSN for the connection you will have to grovel to Web Weavers to set up the DSN on their server and to make sure that you put the database in a folder in your site which is not accessible to all and sundry (this is normally a "Private"/"Data" folder which is above the contents of the "public-html" folder. Web Weavers will need to know the name and location of the db to create the dsn.
Once that is done you can set up you DreamWeaver site. In the site definition > remote info section choose access:ftp and fill in all the details that Web Weavers have given you about path, username and password. Then you can simply press the "connect to remote host" button and it should log-in to the web space - if it doesn't you have entered some details incorrectly. Then just "put" your entire site.
That should be it - but we won't know if there is anything else that needs doing until you have tried this. Derren
