I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website.  Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

Open up your site definition (double-click on the site name in the File panel or choose Site > Manage Sites > Edit) and go to the Remote Info category. There, click Use Firewall (if it isn't already selected) - press Test to try the default firewall settings. If that doesn't work, click Firewall Settings. You'll see two relevant settings about 2/3 down - Firewall host and Firewall port. If Firewall port is 21, there probably is something blocking the port.
On Windows XP, you may have the Windows Firewall installed and blocking. Here's how you get to it:
To open Windows Firewall
1.
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2.
In the control panel, click Windows Security Center.
3.
Click Windows Firewall.
Once you have that open, you'll need to set Dreamweaver as an exception to blocking:
On the Exceptions tab, click Add                     Program.
In the list of programs, click the name of the program (Dreamweaver) that you                     want to add, and then click OK. If the name of your program is                     not in the list of programs, click Browse to locate the Dreamweaver.exe in the Program Files folder and then click OK.
Hope this helps - Joe
