Working on website from 2 locations?  en

I am developing a new web site using X5 ver 12.0. I want to work on it at my office during the week and at home in the weekend.

Last weekend I saved the project folder to my dropbox and today at the office I copied the save folder to my desktop but cannot open the site source. There is no project file?

The backup folder is empty.

I have attached a screen shot showing the files in the copied folder. Is there a better way to move the files so the project stays in place on another computer? I tried to place under version control online using Sourcetree and Bitbucket but it contains sme large video files and did not like it.

Hello David,

The correct way to accomplish this is to export your project as an IWZIP file in Step 5 from one computer, then import the IWZIP file into WebSite X5 on the second computer:

Once you have finished working on the project, again export the project as an IWZIP file, etc.

The IWZIP file is the holy grail when working with WebSite X5.  It is a zipped file format which encapsulates every single item of data needed to recreate your project(s).

Kind regards,

Paul
