Default How do I add existing files to the local files of a site

I have a site defined that has a remote connection. I checked out the files I
need to work with and now I need to add some files (not images - php files) to
the site that already exist on my drive.

I can't figure out how to add the files to the site from within Dreamweaver (I
have CS3, by the way, if that matters). I probably could add them in Explorer
and refresh the files list in DW, but I know there's got to be a way to do it
from within DW.

Thanks for any help!

Just paste them into the local root folder. DW will find them.

Are you the only person working on this site? If so, you do NOT need
checkin/checkout enabled.

Thanks, Murray

Yes, I'm the only one working on the site, however, it's "live" and I just
wanted to have that added protection to make sure I don't muck something up &
ruin the "live" version.

Regards

Don't worry. Checking things in and out doesn't protect a solo user at all,
and adds considerable overhead to your operations. Just turn it off. The
only way you'll get in trouble with it off is if you also had automatic PUT
on Save enabled in your site definition, and you save a file with the wrong
filename. CI/CO wouldn't protect you from those kinds of mistakes.
