40 Files and Folders New file pages are added using the Site Objects palette. New folders can be added by: Using the main menu Directly in the hard drive site folder.

41 Links All link references in a site either belong to one of two categories: absolute or relative. Absolute means the link is the complete URL path, for example: http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html Relative means only part of the link path to another file is generated, for example: mypage.html

42 Anchors Anchors are used to link an element in a page to another element in the same page.

43 The FTP Connection The Web Server information can be entered into the Network Preferences, for easy access when it is required to make a FTP connection.

44 Synchronize Files GoLive features a powerful system of keeping the files stored on the local hard drive synchronized with the files on the Web server. When a site is loaded for the first time, all files are uploaded. Once the files are on the server, any modified files on the local hard drive can be automatically uploaded to the server without having to be uploaded individually.
