FTP Upload without DW markup

Is there any way to use the built-in FTP module and leave out the DW template
markup code when uploading files.

Currently, it is very boring that I need to export the website to a folder and
use a 3rd party FTP to upload the files. Really not appropriate for a $1000.-
software.

Any help?

You can export without markup and use Dw's FTP to upload.

define another site using the export folder as this new site's Local Site
Folder. After exporting, change "sites" to the exported one, and upload.

Do you really ask me why I want to strip off the DW markup when uploading my
website?

If you really should have asked that: Markup vs content ratio optimization

The dreamweaver markup is almost 50% of the html and completely useless online.

Can you post a link to a typical page WITH DW markup?

Here we go:

---
<div id="main">
<div id="col1"><div id="col1_content" class="clearfix"></div></div>
<div id="col2"><div id="col2_content" class="clearfix"></div></div>
<div id="col3"><div id="col3_content" class="clearfix"></div><hr
class="clear_columns" /></div></div>
<div id="footer"> </div></div></body>
</html>

Using nested templates doesn't help your markup situation (there is really
rarely a reason to use them - and they complicate things quite a bit), but
the only reason I can think of to remove this markup would be personal
edification. I wouldn't waste the time, frankly.

The only way you can do it would be to export the current site to a new site
without template markup, and then use the new site as the source for your
uploaded files.

I need nested templates as the site comes in different languages PLUS different
layouts (2col and 3 col). I have one big master template, then multiple
language master templates and then the layout masters for each language.

So, I hope that I do not doing wrong in nesting templates. Otherwise if I
would want to do a change on the overall site design I would need to go to
every single layout template. With the nested template, a change on the big
master template would be inherited by all child templates.

So, I repeat my wish for an easy "Upload without markup" button.

I would use a single template with multiple server-side includes for what
you describe. The advantages of a single template *and* the convenience of
multiple server-side includes is hard to beat.

The 2col/3col thing is simple to do with a single template using either CSS
columns or using Template optional regions.

And I still would never think of spending the time to export without
template markup. 8)
