I really cant work this out without it throwing me an error im sure its simple

my subdomain is phptestbed.ulmb.com

Dreamweaver asks:

1. what is the hostname or ftp address of your testing server?
ftp.ulmb.com/

2. What folder on the testing server do you put your files in?
//this ive tried everything. Any suggestions into what ot should be?

3. What is your ftp login
phptestingbed.ulmb.com

4. what is your ftp password
********

I click next here

and the next page asks

What URL would you use to browse to the root of your site.
here DW puts 1 and 3 together.

What am i doing wrong as DW does not let me refresh pages to test them and i cant send files to my subdomain

Sorry if this ios covered i searched the site for a while and couldnt find anything

Hello,

1. ftp.ulmb.com
2. /
3. phptestingbed.ulmb.com
4. (password here)

URL: http://phptestingbed.ulmb.com or http://phptestingbed.ulmb.com/
(I'm not sure whether or not Dreamweaver needs the trailing slash.)
