Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Can I work on my iWeb 3.0.4 website with two computers?

I need to update my website from multiple computers. Is there a way to move my website files to DropBox, a flash drive or the cloud??

The safest method is to copy the Domain.sites2 file to a flash drive and move it between the Macs. Open the domain file on the flash drive by double clicking on it.


Note: if you are running Lion on any of the Macs you'll need to use the following:


In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.


To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.

do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"

delay 1

tell application "iWeb" to activate


You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.


Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.

WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
