Yes it did, and more! It even came with exploitable binaries, thus earning the distinction of being the first HTML editor to compromise your website for you.

(Edit: I originally said it auto-installed this. I misremembered what was going on and corrected.)

This is about Frontpage, the parent post is about Dreamweaver.

Also it is misleading, the linked page is about the server-side Frontpage Extensions, if you used Frontpage as an HTML page editor you'd just get a static site which is as secure as any other site made of static HTML files.

Dreamweaver definitely had upload-on-save (not sure if that functionality predated Coda, but it was there the last time I used it in 2008 or so)

Whoa! Look at that goalpost go!

What are you talking about? The page was very explicit about what it meant:

> It put the tools you needed to make a web page together in one app, and nobody had ever done that before.

All I did was ask if Dreamweaver supported one particular aspect of this, given that I'm not familiar with Dreamweaver's features beyond "WYSIWYG editing".

When I last used it (early 2000s) it had built-in FTP support

Homesite had all of those as well.

Oh man I remember Homesite. I loved it.

Before that I used the old Netscape WISYWIG editor.

whats WISYWIG? Or is it supposed to be a play on the pronunciation of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) ?

Just me mistyping WYSIWYG.

What I See Yis What I Get. Obviously...

Yes. And lots of more purely text-editors also support(ed) that, FTP wasn't an exotic feature.

It did.

It was actually a really sophisticated tool when it was released but it was more aimed at non-programmers in that it's primary usage was code generation. So those of use who prefer to write the code ourselves would have given it a wide berth.

Amaya saved to the origin using either HTTP PUT or WebDAV and it dates from the 90s.

My memory of Dreamweaver was that it didn’t do databases or FTP.

It may have added those features later, but I only used it back when .shtml “sheetmetal” was the state of the art.

I consulted for clients in early 2000 that would use "publish" in Dreamweaver to FTP (and maybe even SFTP[1]) upload their site, from what I recall.

1: I don't remember whether it was FTP over TLS or SSH FTP. You might assume the former, but this was a very weird age for file uploads, and I remember being surprised more than once...

I used CF Studio in the late 1990s and it had FTP/RDS/SourceSafe, some semblance of WYSIWYG, datasources/databases, etc. Can't see how Coda would even come close to being the OG without a very narrow definition of features. Dreamweaver had FTP/etc at various points.

I find it really interesting that I've been downvoted into oblivion for asking a question.

I believe so. CF Studio also. Pretty sure I used the latter pre-2000.
