All the tutorials I have found have dealt with creating new sites and
publishing them. I have a site already on the internet that I want to work on
with DW. I have been unsuccessful at importing it using DW and it won't
synchronize with the existing site if I simply FTP my old way. Kind hearted
suggestions would be appreciated...

What you could do is simply download your site using ftp to a folder on your
hard drive, then use DW to create/manage a site, point it to that folder you
just downloaded your site files to, then add your username and password to the
DW. Then save your site. You should now have your site loaded within DW and you
should now be able to work with your site online and offline.

Hope that helps!

Ignore what you've been told.

1. Define a site in DW (refer to Help (F1) to learn how to properly define a
site).

2. Connect to your (remote) site.

3. Get (DW term) the site.

If you follow DW's instructions and define your site correctly this will
work perfectly.

Thank you. I am currently in the seemingly looooong process of Getting the site as you described... I hope I will have a working copy come morning.
