How to run Jekyll and FTP to server

Followed the instructions on this page to install Jekyll, which involved:

Working with a local clone of the repository:

Make changes to the files in the "site" directory using any editor (I use Dreamweaver) and save the changes.
In the Windows cmd window, navigate to the "site" directory
type the command jekyll build
- this generates the static site in the "_static_site" folder
add, commit, and push changes to the repository as usual
ftp the contents of the "_static_site" folder to the myweb server
note that running jekyll and committing to the repository are two separate actions.

Notes:

jekyll build ......one-time creation of static files
jekyll build --watch .......on-going creation of static files as you edit the dynamic sources
jekyll serve ......jekyll build --watch PLUS those static files are accessible to the web browser (a message in the console window will tell you the address for the static server, which can be opened in a browser.
When FTPing to the myweb server, don't forget to include LMUMAIN\ as part of my username.
