Dreamweaver

Manage file transfers

You can view the status of file transfer operations, as well as a list of transferred files and their outcomes (transfer successful, skipped, or failed). You can also save a log of the file activity.

Note: Dreamweaver lets you perform other non-server-related activities while you’re transferring files to or from a server.

Cancel a file transfer

 Click the Cancel button or close the Background File Activity dialog box.

Hide the Background File Activity dialog box during transfers

 Click the Hide button on the Background File Activity dialog box to minimize it so that all you see is the small Log button at the bottom of the Files panel.
Note: You cannot hide or remove the Log button. It’s a permanent part of the panel.

  1. Click the Log button at the bottom of the Files panel to open the Background File Activity dialog box.

Save a log of the last file transfer

  1. Click the Log button at the bottom of the Files panel to open the Background File Activity dialog box.
