More CS6 FTP Issues..??

I see quite a few threads about problems with FTP in CS6, but nothing specific to what I'm seeing.
I can setup FTP accounts just fine and the test works as expected. I can upload files and I don't have problems loading the pages like some have talked about (and what looks like a patch was released for).
What I am seeing, though, is that if I try to upload groups of files at a time it will often upload 1 or 2 and then just stop. Then if I view Remote and try to refresh it shows "nothing". So then I have to disconnect and reconnect, and then it shows everything again. At this point I can generally upload a group of files...but only once.
It seems like everytime I upload anything I have to switch to remote and disconnect and connect again to upload something after that.
Also, the syncing is all messed up. I'm working on a site where I made a change to my Dreamweaver template, and as such lots of files on the site were updated. Then I went to sync but everything gave me the red error icon showing that it couldn't figure out which one was newer and I had to manually specify that it should upload my local version for everything to the remote server.
Then, about 10 min later, I made another change to the template. I went to sync again, but once again, almost all my files were telling me it couldn't figure out which one was newer and I had to manually specify again.
What's strange is that some of the files are working fine and don't seem to have an issue...it just knows those need uploaded. About 90% of my files, though, are forcing me to manually tell it what it to do every time.
I see in the "what's new" videos that Adobe apparently made some changes to FTP and say it's a lot faster now becuase it allows for multiple connections. I was very excited to hear that, but now with all the issues I'm having and the other threads I see about problems with FTP in CS6 I'm almost wishing I wouldn't have upgraded.
Any information on how I can get this working the way it should be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Adobe is working on a variety of FTP issues, and is making available a patch. You can contact the Dreamweaver team directly to get a copy of the patch: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4541472#4541472.

Dreamweaver CS6 FTP Issues

i have created a site in dreamweaver and as far as i am aware the site works great, i have hosting and webspace with 1and1 and have connected to their servers via ftp, i have to manually upload the site and cannot seem to get the webpages themselves to upload, only the *images* folder and *scripts* upload successfully, i have tried everything i can to resolve this but have had no luck whatso ever, any help would be much appreciated, thanks

May be you can try steps suggested in the troubleshooting document. Most of the points mentioned there are also applicable on DW CS6.

Dreamweaver CS6 ftp issue

I have for years used Dreamweaver as my primary WYSIWYG design app at work. Recently I installed CS6 at my home as a 30 day trial and I am very interested in a subscription to the new Creative Cloud.
Everything installs fine and I am able to set up a ftps on port 990. I am also able to do this for multiple ftp connections. After a few days of working fine and transferring multiple files the program can no longer make connection with the host. There are a few blogs about this and the recommend only switching sites while in local view of the site, but I have tried the install 3 times on a clean system and always the same result even after only setting up one ftp connection.
I would be interested in herring from other people experiencing this issue.

After a few days of working fine and transferring multiple files the program can no longer make connection with the host.
Maybe your host server is having a bad day. Are you sure it's not down?

CS6 FTP Issue

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any help.
Up until yesterday I have been able to manage my sites using Dreamweaver. However, last night I noticed that I was neither able to upload new or overwrite old files.
Dreamweaver can connect, and when I upload it does all the right things. I even have new files appear in the remote view as if they are on the server. However, when I log into the server via cuteftp they are not there?
The only thing I did yesterday that I can think of was to install MacKeeper which I have since uninstalled.
To clarify;
I can ftp via a third party
Dreamweaver can connect to the remote server
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Mark

Thank you Sudarshan,
I have followed the instructions but they did not help. Here is the log;
Started: 27/02/2013 16:57
test.html - same - not transferred
File activity complete.
Files skipped: 1
Finished: 27/02/2013 16:57
Yet, the file is not on the server when i check via 3rd party or via browser?
Thanks for your help.

CS6 FTP uploading does not work. Gives permissions error.

I cannot upload files using the CS6 FTP facility. It works the first time but then gives a file permissions error. I assume it thinks the files on the server are set to read only. I am not using the check in facility as it is only me using it. It works on the same pc with MX or FileZilla so must be a CS6 setup issue. Any ideas ?

Hmm, I've never run into that with DW's FTP (unless my permissions were messed up at the server level).
Have you tried clearing DW's Cache file?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
That clears a lot of odd behaviors in DW. I'm not sure if it catches weird FTP problems though.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] More on ComputedColumn issue

Vladimir--
I'm going to answer this question without doing my full homework on it;
please let me know if I hit the mark or not. If I understand correctly, you
have a problem using a model for both UPDATE and SELECT queries because of a
computed column...correct?
If so, this issue is solved in JATO 1.2. 1.2 has an attribute in the field
descriptor to indicate in which type of queries a field should be used. You
can use this attribute to indicate that a field should only be used for
UPDATE queries, SELECT queries, or whatever combination of query types you
require. You can then define synthetic fields for use only during one of
the query types.
Does this sound useful in fixing your issue? A way around this in JATO 1.1
would be to create separate models for SELECT and UPDATE queries. The
SELECT model could contain all the fields for the joined query, but the
UPDATE model would contain info for only one table. The 1.2 feature simple
allows you to do the same using one model.

Subject: [iPlanet-JATO] More on ComputedColumn issue
We have a similar problem with do's ComputedColumn after the
translation as Kostas described in his detailed message #439.
We have JATO/iMT version 1.1. Is the resolution of this problem added
to the version 1.2 (or 1.2.1)?
I've tried to adjust the ModelImpl class based on the .sdo file
(using ComputedColumn attributes) for these fields and failed.
Whether I missed something else, or our situation is a little bit
different.
In our case the dataObject has one Computed Field from one table and
another Computed Field from another table along with joint between
these two tables and third one, and, finally, the whole stuff is
under the repeatable (with static fields bindings to these two
computed fields).
The modelImpl class after the translation (as in the #439) has the
same values "" and "." for ..._NAME and QUALIFIED_..._NAME strings
respectively (for each computed do's field).
I guess that we could meet extra problem with this (for manual
adjustment) because of there is no TableName attribute in .sdo file
for computed field (as well as there is no ColumnName attribute for
computed field). If ComputedColumn attribute (computed field) could
play a role of ColumnName attribute (regular case), what would be an
analog of TableName attribute for computed field?
The bottom line of this is as follows: we have a same
SQLException "Invalid Column Name"
from ResultSetModelBase.updateModel() as Kostas described. It causes
the problem for
RequestHandlingTiledViewBase.executeAutoRetrieving() method that
can't bind the proper Model.
Finally, beginDisplay() method from
pgXXXXPriorityCountTiledView.class throws exception and
jasper compiler brings run-time error (Tomcat 3.2).
Kostas, if this problem still exists for translation of such cases,
could you please post a fragment that fixed you original problem in
addition to the message #439 (just to be sure, that I haven't missed
something important).
Thank you very much in advance.

Todd,
Sorry for the delay with the answer, I've tried to obtain JATO 1.2
and repeat the project migration to verify whether version 1.2 solves
my problem or not (actually, it is a pilot sub-project).
Unfortunately, I still have no 1.2 version.
Let me try to answer on your question without getting the results
with JATO 1.2. Your explanation sounds like version 1.2 is very close
to solve the problem. Actually, our situation is easier because we
have SELECT object only, not SELECT and UPDATE. For data integrity
the only 'Select' ND's do(s) have been used through the whole
project. The backend communication (update, delete) is provided via
EJB like (entity) Java classes.
My question is: could I define synthetic field with 1.1.1 version. By
the way, word synthetic reflects the possibility to construct the
field under certain SQL circumstances (SELECT, UPDATE, e.g.) or the
possibility to construct a `fake' field (for example,
CountColumn of a do) as well. If the later is true, could you please
give a brief idea how to create this synthetic field.
After the translation in the doPriorityCountModelImpl class we've
got:
public static final String COLUMN_DFPRIORITYDESC="";
public static final String QUALIFIED_COLUMN_DFPRIO
RITYDESC=".";
public static final String COLUMN_DFPRIORITYCOUNT="";
public static final String QUALIFIED_COLUMN_DFPRIO
RITYCOUNT=".";
(see my original post please with details, as well).
If this is not a problem for 1.2 please do not waste your time to fix
it for 1.1.1. I need to repeat my results with the version 1.2 anyway.
We have a number of similar idioms through the project. In this
particular case, the CountColumn that counts the field from another
table may bring problem for manual adjustment (see my original
notes). The whole SQL query is as follows (for this case):
SELECT MIN(MOS.PRIORITY.PDESCRIPTION),
COUNT(ASSIGNEDTASKSWORKQUEUE.PRIORITYID),
MOS.PRIORITY.PRIORITYID
FROM MOS.ASSIGNEDTASKSWORKQUEUE, MOS.PRIORITY, MOS.DEAL
WHERE MOS.DEAL.SCENARIORECOMMENDED = 'Y'
AND MOS.DEAL.COPYTYPE <> 'T'
GROUP BY MOS.PRIORITY.PRIORITYID
ORDER BY MOS.PRIORITY.PRIORITYID ASC
During the pre-handler activity (it is the part of our Object
Framework on the top of Netdynamics Object Framework) system passes
id (and mos.deal.dealid = XXX) to the do (select query). After the
run-time execution of this do the results are displayed on the screen
bind to the repeatable statics.
Thank you very much,
Vladimir

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP issues.

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP
issues.
Never mind...I found it.
Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?
PS: email scanning only never effected DW8.02
My System Info: properly configured (as in: everything works
or I fix it) Toshiba - XP pro SP2 – Pentium 4 - 2.3GHz
– 1.5 GB ram – Intel extreme graphics card 64 MB ram
– Apache 2.2 server – PHP 5 – MySQL 5 -
phpMyAdmin – Dreamweaver 8.02 – Interakt Kollection
3.7.1 – Dreamwweaver 9 - DeVtoolbox – Flash –
GoLive - Photoshop - ImageReady – Illustrator – Acrobat
– CuteFTP – Putty SSH - blabla...)

Thanks for the response. I managed to Google the 'nobody' account and found the explanation.
As you say, I assumed the 'syslogd' process had to do with system logs. I did check the console and couldn't find anything of particular interest in the logs.
I'll continue to monitor but if anyone has any further suggestions please post.
One thing that might also have an impact... my available drive space is now down to less than 5gb (runs anywhere between 1gb and 5gb free depending on what I'm running). I know this causes problems for Parallels as it keeps moaning at me, but would it cause any problems with OSX?
Thanks again,
Tom

Can we use CS6 under a CC license? We have about 25 CS6 installations and need more CS6-licenses. Our other software is not (yet) compatible with CC.

We need more CS6 installations at our company. However, it's not possible to buy CS6, only CC. The software we are using in combination with CS6 is still not compatible with CC. So have have to use CS6 until that software is upgraded. Can we buy CC licenses (or membership) and use that licenses to activate new CS6 installations?

First, yes it IS possible to buy CS6 Creative Suite 6
Second, Previous via Cloud http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html#previous

CS6 FTP failure

I am experiencing multiple problems with CS6 FTP. I am using Mac OS X (Lion) and I have applied the DW CS6 12.0.1 updater. Still cannot put and have the permissions on the file be anything other than 0. I have to change the permissions on the file manually to 644. I cannot overwrite a file on the remote server after editing. I have to delete the old file, upload the edited file and then manually change the permissions. This occurs with all file types - html, pdf, JPEG and Gif. Sometimes, if I completely close Dreamweaver and start with another site, the first file I put will be ok, but everything after that one is a problem. I have several sites on mainehost.com and bluehost.com. Mainehost.com uses Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS]. Bluehost uses Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS]. Also experiencing same problems with an Intranet server using WS_FTP Server 7.5(53268144). This problem occurs whether I put from the edit window after saving or from the Files window. I have no confidence in CS6 and have gone back to CS5.5. Please take this problem seriously!

However, people here don't like me saying Windows hasn't got such probelms.
This is complete nonsense.
Never seen anybody posting FTP problems on their windows system though I expect these to flood in now that I have mentioned it.
DW's FTP has gotten its share of gripes both from Windows and Mac users. I can't say that I've seen a serious platform imbalance over time, although there has definitely been a spate of complaints from Mac users in CS6. I use DW routinely on PCs and occasionally on Macs and can say that since DW2, I've not felt the need to switch to a 3rd-party FTP program, nor have I experienced any of the current problems on Macs with CS6, so as far as I can see there are still too many variables involved to lay those problems on DW. I have a strong suspicion, though, that Mountain Lion is involved....

Hi bregent,
Okay, after four days of speaking with my web server's tech support and experimenting with site setup in it's FTP I finally figured out what was the problem of not being able to connect DW to my server. Very simple...........type of internet connection. The problem was that I was trying to do my work on my laptop which uses a USB portable device. I always found it to be a weak connection. So I reconnected my laptop using an 'Ethernet' cable, with a higher transfer rated ISP, here locally.
I know this sounds kind of stupid on my part but by speaking to tech service at my web service, they had me thinking about how I'm connect to the internet - USB or Ethernet. Well in my case I was using USB which shouldn't be a problem most of the times but sometimes it totally doesn't do it. The service (USB device) have been known for many flaws in their connections. It could be the device or service flaws.
Okay, so now I need to work on my rollovers. Now that I'm connecting I'm thinking about cleaning up on my codes here.
Thank you for your help and I'll be back sooner or later, more sooner then later

Dreamweaver CS6 - ftp stops on some files or get permission errors

Just installed DW CS6 version 12.0 build 5861 yesterday on windows 8.1. The FTP connects & will upload some files but stalls with images. An example is an image called gov_logo.jpg . It is only 27kb but it stalls with only part of image on server. This is not the only problem image. Time-out is set to 60 seconds & the image will upload with a different ftp client as my host has checked & tested it. I have seen lots of so called fixes & have tried all but have noticed this issue is unresolved for lots of people. Could someone please help.
Thanks Chris

Hi Nancy,
I have used DW since DW MX back when it was Macromedia, then upgraded to Studio 8 & they worked well. Macromedia even did some trouble shooting for me & I'm just one of the small guys. Adobe on the other hand seem to leave you high & dry.
this just seems absurd(I'm not getting at you). I had researched these products from their respective sites before purchase. Yes it does seem that it's a win8.1 issue yet Adobe is selling their DWcs6 saying it works fine on 8.1 & obviously it doesn't properly. Just the posts in this website clearly show that it's not a one off issue & there are plenty of other forums & websites stating this issue. For anyone else that may & will have this same issue there seems to be no resolution & you may as well throw your DWcs6 & your windows 8.1 computer in the bin & kiss goodbye to a few thousand dollars for those products & a few more for the work you lose. It seems Adobe & Microsoft don't care about small clients & loosing them won't effect their bottom line, they are too big for that.
This link shows Microsoft's clarifying the compatibility of 8.1 & DW cs6 Windows Compatibility Center: dreamweaver
This link shows Adobe saying the same thing Windows 8.1 compatibility FAQs | CC, CS6, Acrobat
In my opinion both of these links have misrepresented their products joint compatibility & this is what I went off before forking out the $$.
This link shows just a small fraction of people complaining about windows 8.1 WinInet issue including DW cs6 users. FtpOpenFile and InternetWriteFile broken/changed in IE11 | Microsoft Connect.
Once again thanks to you Nancy & bregent for taking the time to assist me, as without you guys similar problems people have could take a huge toll on them. Keep it up. :-)
Is there a direct contact for Adobe? Or is this forum it? As I might have to buy a Mac & swap the windows version of DW cs6 to the Mac version. Or would you reccomend another way around it?
Cheers Chris

InDesign CS6 PDF Issue: Unsearchable PDF document

Hello all,
I have an issue that I've exhausted with days of Google searches. I have a text catalog created with ID CS6. Sections were PDF documents given to me from our engineering department. The book was created, exported and all went well until I found out that when I try to copy and paste the text into Microsoft Word or Note Pad, I get a lot of small boxes in place of the letters. When I try to search the text in Adobe Reader, I can't find words which I can see are there.
This is the first catalog I've created in CS6. Previous catalogs created in the exact same manner in CS4 & CS2 do not have this issue. I thought it could have been the infamous Arial Narrow font issue and researched that to death.
Any ideas would be most helpful. This is a 1300 page catalog that customers cannot search.

1. LAUNCH Adobe Acrobat
2. Using the File menu, OPEN the corrupted document. (I don't know what to do if you're not even able to open the file. Sorry!)
3. (VERIFY that Acrobat can't search the document, in case you haven't done so, just to avoid unnecessary work.)
4. EXPORT: Once the document is open, use the File menu again, and choose EXPORT / IMAGE / PNG. Your corrupted pdf will be saved as a series of images with the file extension ".png", one for each page of the pdf document. Don't worry, they will be numbered automatically by Acrobat, and they aren't terribly large. My document was 200 pages long, so I got 200 little image files in .png format. The export may take a couple of minutes. You won't get any further signals from Adobe to tell you it's done--just go look in the directory that contains the original and see if it made png files with names like:
chemistryBook_Page_001.png
chemistryBook_Page_002.png
5. COLLECT: Once you have the image files, collect them all by cut and paste into their own directory.
6. OCR: Under the Document menu, choose OCR TEXT RECOGNITION / RECOGNIZE TEXT IN MULTIPLE FILES USING OCR
7. ADD FILES: You will be shown a dialog box with the title "Paper Capture Multiple Files" with the subtitle "Run OCR on a set of images. There is a button that says "Add Files". Click this button, choose ADD FOLDERS, and browse to the folder that contains your png files. Highlight that file, click OK. The files will then appear within this dialog box. Make sure that the files are in the proper order, or you will be sad. Click OK.
8. CHOOSE OUTPUT OPTIONS: Now you will get a dialog box entitled "Output Options". You have several choices to make here:
TARGET FOLDER: Click "Specific Folder", then Browse to your folder full of images, click "Make New Folder", name the folder (something like "CHEMISTRYBOOKIMAGEFILES" so you can find it easily and know what is in it, click OK.
FILE NAMING: Click "Keep Original File Names". This will preserve Acrobat's automatic numbering of your files--you will need that to get the page ordering right! UNcheck "Overwrite existing files" just to avoid a terrible mishap, unless you are very pressed for disc space or unless this is your 5th time attempting to follow these instructions and you've already got 'way too many duplicates of the output files. If you have the disc space, just make new empty folder for your 6th try.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Select "Save File(s) as Adobe PDF. Click OK.
Now wait for Adobe to execute optical character recognition on the image files. Its output will be one little pdf file for each little image file that it OCR's.
9. COLLATE THE FILES INTO ONE: Under the File menu, select COMBINE / MERGE FILES INTO A SINGLE PDF. This step is optional; maybe you wanted a bunch of little files, or maybe you wanted to divide your enormous original document into 2 or 3 more manageable documents. To divide the file, just make a separate directory for the png files you want in each smaller final document, and repeat steps 6 through 9 for each directory. BE CAREFUL WITH NAMING! Make sure you choose a unique name, because if you got something wrong, you will want to be able to go back to your original corrupted pdf and try again. If your original is named "CHEMISTRY.PDF", please remember to name this new file something like "CHEMISTRY-FIXED.PDF".
If you really despise pdf, you can try using different output formats in Step 8. I do hate pdf, but I chose pdf for two reasons: one is that I had more confidence that that pdf would retain important features like charts and graphs and labeled photos in my document. The other is that I was so so so so SO tired of doing all this pdf crap instead of the chemistry work that I'd gotten the ebook to help me with that I didn't want to do anything fancy with file formats at this point. Let me know if you try output to rtf or ascii and get good results.
10. TEST: Open the merged document(s) in all of the pdf readers and web browsers you will want to use with it, and try searching with it. Use your file browser and try to search for text in the directory with a word you know the file contains. Searchable? Good job, you're done, cheers!
Not searchable? Oh noes! Check that you opened the correct document (maybe you opened the original by mistake). Try the entire process again. If that doesn't help, try the entire process again, but output to plain text this time. My apologies, but, being a complete newbie myself, I have no further advice on this topic.
NB! My output PDF is of rather low quality. It looks like it was literally scanned from a 10th-iteration paper copy. Don't know how to fix that, after the fact or somewhere in the above process. It's good enough, so I'm just dealing with the shakey blurriness. I seem to remember somewhere that I could choose a high quality output, but, again, I didn't want to do anything fancy with vectors and rostering and layers and other terms that I don't know before I verified that I could do something basic and get back to chemistry asap.

Adobe Bridge CS6 File Issues

Hello all, I just upgraded to the Creative Cloud on my PC, downloaded PS CS6 - Bridge and Camera Raw. I'm configuring and working with CR2 files, no problem, however, Bridge will not let me delete, rename or update the metadata of my jpgs.
Any suggestions?

Curt, I'm running Windows 7 with 4 GB RAM - mother board won't support more than that. I don't think permissions is the problem - same internal drive and the .CR2's work fine. I can delete bad ones, batch rename and update the metadata no problem, it's just the jpegs.
OK, I have the same setup on another computer - same Bridge version, no problems with the Jpegs. Issue here is, it's the backup computer and not my digital processing one with all the necessary drives.
Both computers are running Win 7 SP1 with 4 GB RAM 3.0 GHz processors. Only difference is the digi system has 2 monitors.
Where would I check about "Read Only" for just the jpgs?

More CS6 FTP Issues..??
