Excluding Folders from Site Operations
One advantage of using Dreamweaver's site management
tools is the ability to change many files at once. However, certain
situations may arise in which you want to exclude a set of files from a
site operation (e.g., find and replace, synchronization, etc.). This can
be done by the Cloak feature.
For example, you may want to synchronize your local and
remote sites, however, you have one folder in your site containing pages
that are in progress. Since you do not want these pages on your remote
site, you can exclude them from the synchronization process by cloaking
the folder.
