Q: My professor has assigned me to work on a website are:
http: / / www.sba.muohio.edu/asiaep/
He gave me his username and password but I do not know how to connect using Dreamweaver 8 because I am a web designer noob.
In Dreamweaver I go to Manage Sites, I enter the name and URL of the site, saying I will not server technology (I do not use PHP or MySQL), select which I want the site to store files on my local drive, and then I encounter a problem: I connect Dreamweaver
How to the remote (http://www.sba.muohio.edu/asiaep/) server to upload and download files on the website?
FTP, WebDAV, RDS, etc?
What is the hostname or FTP address of the Web server asiaep?
I do not think the username and password that my professor gave me the FTP passwords .
Im confused, and my professor does not know much either. When I asked him how he logs in to view the site files, his answer was: I choose
When Editing a program of explorer . it will link to the homepage and ask ID / password questions.
I think he is only a link to the website file system through a program like Frontpage and manually copy and paste files to and from its local disk to the asiaep website. I would much rather update files directly from Dreamweaver.
Any ideas? Do I have a sort of sys admin to set up an FTP site for me?

Run your FTP program. Type the IP address 134.53.40.3 and port 21 . Key in your username and password. Make sure your transfer mode is in ACTIVE MODE. Now you have access to your FT site. You can either download the files and locally do the editing and just upload the entire site once you are done.

Just did that. The username and password that I got from my professor are wrong 
How did you find that IP BTW?
The command prompt and then utilize the "NSLOOKUP" command:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.1
> set type=all
> www.sba.muohio.edu
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
www.sba.muohio.edu internet address = 134.53.40.3

If I were you I'd download a free ftp client like SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com/) which is free for personal, educational use.
Once installed, start it, select
File>New Remote Browser
You want "Normal FTP"
Host is : http://www.sba.muohio.edu/asiaep/
just add his username and password
click okay
You should now be connected to the server and you can drag and drop fioles from the server to you local file browser like you would in explorer.
Good luck.
It says that it's unable to resolve the host name. So I guess I need to get an FTP host set up somehow on the server side, or find the real host address or something.
My professor is kinda clueless about this website stuff. He used Frontpage to design the site, and I'm pretty sure Frontpage just has a feature where you can Connect to a Site by just inputing the URL, username, and password. It'll then bring up the folder list and he can edit the files.

Re:My guess is that your school has some kind of web system set up that will allow you log in to an FTP or other special server so that you can update the files, you need to know what kind of server it is and exactly what the address is.

You need to find out from your professor exactly what program he is using, and get the correct address. It might just be a FTP server, or even a special webpage address, just ask him exactly what program and location he is logging into.
