  1. In the Microsoft Azure management portal, select New > Compute > Website > Quick Create and complete the prompts to create a new website instance.
  1. From All Items on the main menu, select the website you created. On the Dashboard tab you should see a list of links under quick glance. Click the link to Reset your deployment credentials. In the window that appears, set a username and password.
  2. Below the quick glance links on the right side of the portal, find the FTPS host name. Note the fully qualified domain name (FQDM) (the URL without the ftps:// protocol). Further down, under Deployment / FTP User, note the full username. It should be <your site>/<the username you set earlier>.
  3. Open Dreamweaver and select Site > New Site. Name the site and set the site folder location.
  4. On the menu within the Site Setup window, select Servers. Click the plus icon to set up a new connection.
  5. In the Server Name field, enter Azure. In the Connect using field, choose FTP over SSL/TLS (implicit encryption).
  6. Complete the FTP Address field with the FQDM you noted earlier.
  7. Fill in the username you noted and the password you set earlier.
  8. Click Test to ensure you entered the address and credentials properly.
  9. Enter a valid root directory and web URL and click Save.

Push your files to the remote server and bask in your glory.
