Udating Links when Loading to Server...

I have a site that I'm creating in dreamweaver.  I've set up the site with the url that will be used once all files are uploaded to the server.  As long as I just create links within the file structure for now, will the links update when I post them to the server?  Will I have to recreate all paths before uploading to the server?

Dont really understand the question?
It is best to have all paths relative.  This way, you can change the location of the site and everything will still work.
dont use absolute links for html pages.  Also, DW will update them for you AS YOU MOVE THEM on the local side.

Let me know if this helps.
An example would be good.

For example, I have links pointing to file://H|location/filename.htm while the site is being created without being live.  Once I make the site live, I don't want to have to change all of these links from pointing to file locations to an http://www.location/filename.htm.  I'm wondering if Dreamweaver will take care of that for me when I move the files to the server.  Does that make more sense?
