1. Create a FTP account.

2. In Dreamweaver, go to the “files” tab. Use the dropdown box to “manage sites”. Either create a new site, or if you are moving a current site where the copy is on your computer and you want to move it to site, choose edit.

3. In  “advanced” tab, Click on “remote info” . Under Access, choose FTP. Under FTP host type in your domain name like yourdomain.com . Under Host Directory, if you want to login directly to the public_html folder, for the host directory, put /public_html and it will instead FTP login to the public_html directory. Leaving it blank for this field is what is causing FTP to login to your home directory rather than public_html.
