Opening and saving files directly on a Web server
You can open a document on a Web server, edit it, and then re-save it directly to the server without manually downloading and uploading it. This only works if you have read/write permissions for the file on the server.
The commands for opening and saving files directly on a Web server use the same list of remote sites as the Publish window. Before you can use these commands, you must define at least one remote site.
To open a file on a Web server
- Click the Namo button
, point to FTP, and then click Open on Web Server.
- Click the Remote site box and select a remote site. If you have not yet defined any remote sites, click the … button to open the Remote Sites dialog box.
- Navigate to the desired file, select it, and then click Open.

When you open a file directly from a Web server, Namo WebEditor copies the file to a temporary local file. If you edit the file and use the Save command (rather than Save on Web Server) to save your changes, Namo WebEditor will only save the temporary file and not upload the edited file to the server. To save your changes to the Web server, make sure to use the Save on Web Server command.
