[thelist] Uploading a web site using Dreamweaver

[Matt]

do you guys know if Dreamweaver  4 actually checks the server and only uploads
pages that have recently been updated? I stopped using it for FTP because an
old version seemed to upload everything indiscriminately without seeming to
check if it needed to, but maybe 4 does that now? That was the one (and only)
thing I liked about Front Page, that it would check for you.
