Power CMS and Dreamweaver. Why does it have to put all associated files to the server when you open the DW page?

Why, when you open a page in Dreamweaver that is using Power CMS, does it have to put all the files, including the connection, to the server? How can I get around this? When I'm toggling back and forth between a local and live connection, I don't WANT it to put the connection file to the server! Thank you.

on the live and testing servers, make sure the following files exist at the site root:

_mmServerScripts/WA_DBScript.php
_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php
_mmServerScripts/mysql.php
Connections/installed_cms.txt
Connections/PowerCMSConnection.php
Connections/wadb_ff.php

This file doesn't even exist on my local site...???
Connections/wadb_ff.php

I can't find these at all:
_mmServerScripts/WA_DBScript.php
_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php
_mmServerScripts/mysql.php

the _mmServerScripts files, you wont be able to see in DW you need to use the OS files system explorer to see them

I see the files in my folder, but if they're hidden, how do I upload them to the server in Dreamweaver?

Never mind - I found the option in Dreamweaver.

OMG - I think this worked. Finally! What a total pain in the $$$ this was! Fingers crossed!!!
