Review: Publishing Digital Media (Applied)

A developer must upload files using encrypted authentication with an SSH key. Which connection type should be configured in Site Setup?

• SFTP with key authentication

• FTP over plain text only

• WebDAV over standard HTTP

• Local network share mapping

Answer explanation

SFTP uses SSH for both encryption and key-based authentication. Plain FTP transmits credentials in clear text and cannot use SSH keys.

A developer fixed several pages locally and wants to upload only files newer than the remote copies. Which command best fits this need?

• Cloak selected files only

• Synchronize the site files

• Get the entire site now

• Put the entire site now

Answer explanation

Synchronize compares timestamps and transfers only changed files in the chosen direction. A full Put re-uploads everything, wasting time and bandwidth.

Which Dreamweaver report catches pages whose title tag is still set to the default "Untitled Document"?

• Live View preview scan tool

• CSS Designer panel scan

• Browser compatibility report

• Site report for untitled documents

Answer explanation

Site reports include an Untitled Documents check that flags missing or default titles. Browser compatibility looks at rendering issues, not title content.

A hero image is 4.2 MB and slows page load. What is the best pre-publish action?

• Move the image into a subfolder

• Resize and compress the image

• Rename the image with hyphens

• Add an alt attribute to the image

Answer explanation

Reducing dimensions and compressing the file directly cuts download size. Renaming or moving the file does not change the byte count the browser must fetch.

Two students share one Dreamweaver site and must edit different pages at the same time without overwriting each other. What should they enable?

• Site-wide synchronize on save

• Automatic Put on save

• Check in/check out system

• Cloaking for each user folder

Answer explanation

Check in/check out locks a file to one editor at a time, preventing overwrites. Cloaking only excludes files from transfer; it does not coordinate editing.

A site report lists images with empty alt attributes. Which review category does this fall under?

• Spell check review

• HTML validation check

• Broken link check

• Accessibility review

Answer explanation

Alt text lets screen readers describe images, making it an accessibility concern. Validation checks markup syntax, not whether attributes serve users with disabilities.

Which file name causes the fewest problems on a case-sensitive Linux production server?

• About Us Page.html

• About_us.HTML

• About-us.html

• AboutUs Final.htm

Answer explanation

Lowercase letters, hyphens, and a standard extension avoid case-sensitivity and space-encoding issues. Spaces and mixed case break links on case-sensitive servers.

A developer needs to download a teammate's latest edited page from the remote server to the local site. Which command should be used?

• Get

• Put

• Check In

• Synchronize

Answer explanation

Get transfers files from the remote server to the local site. Put goes the other direction, and Check In releases a lock after uploading.

Before a final upload, a developer wants to flag tags that are not properly closed. Which tool addresses this?

• Image optimization

• HTML validation

• Broken link check

• Spell check

Answer explanation

HTML validation parses markup and reports unclosed or misnested tags. Broken link checking inspects href targets, not tag structure.

A team policy requires uploading a page along with its linked stylesheet and image files. Which transfer setting supports this?

• Disable the site cache

• Include dependent files prompt

• Synchronize newer local files

• Enable cloaking on assets

Answer explanation

The dependent files prompt offers to transfer linked CSS, scripts, and images alongside the page. Cloaking does the opposite by excluding specified files from transfer.
