[FIXED] Why is my localhost trying to connect to my online site?

Issue

I have an interesting problem, I am developing my site and save all the files on my local drive edit them with adobe Dreamweaver, and once approved I push it to my online server with Dreamweaver FTP client and once I start using PHP I uploaded it right away to my online server and test it on my real website.

But I change my mind and would like to run it locally, so I installed xampp and transferred the whole folder to the htdocs folder and tried viewing my folder, and for some reason, I was redirected to my online website...

Any help on how to fix that and why this happened??

Note: I assigned the current folder in Dreamweaver as my site when I upload it to my online server.

I am not sure what's causing this so I am not sure what details to include, if you need any more info I will share it here.

Waiting for your helpful answer!!

Solution

Thanks @brombeer I search my entire folder and found an htaccess redirecting to my online page.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my-site.com/$1 [R,L]

and by removing it it worked
