Cannot Connect To FTP Server (Waiting For Server)

no matter what I do, I am unable to connect to my FTP server. In dreamweaver when I try and connect my site, it just keeps saying waiting for server. I have also just recently downloaded filezilla to see if it was dreamweaver that was messing up, and it turns out, it wasn't! because I am having the same problems on there too, when I try and connect to my site in filezilla, it just times out. I have disabled all my firewalls, played around with every setting possible (turning mt FTP from passive to active etc) whats going on? is the server playing up? someone help me please! I have had no problems like this before, it only began yesterday.

Could it be a signal? Have a look here http://suite101.com/article/2012-end-of-the-world-predictions-by-nostradamus-a148071
On a more professional note, I think it is best to contact the host, he/she is sure to help you.

FTP Problem: Waiting for server...

I'm using Dreamweaver MX with the 6.1 patch applied. FTP
appears to connect fine, but then when it starts looking for the
remote folder it says, "waiting for server..." and eventually times
out. While searching the internet for clues to this problem I see
some people say to check off "Passive FTP"....but I don't have an
option to check "Passive FTP". Does anyone have any ideas?

You have that option in your Remote Site definition.

My FTP works but is very slow, hangs on 'waiting for server', fix???

Hi guys
My FTP connects but its constantly hanging and saying 'waiting for server', eventually it connects.
My other ftp clients connect instantly, its just DW, sometimes my filezilla may halt but not as bad as DW does.
I can use port 22 and its instant but reading this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734356?tstart=0 will tell you why I can't use port 22.
Not sure what to do here, ive tried changing loads of settings and I get the same thing, I dont want to have to use an external FTP client as that would slow my workfllow considerably.
Also I think its a mac issue, if i try this in another building on windows 7 it connects instantly.
If i set my timeout to something really high like 90 seconds it eventually connects.
Anyone got any ideas??
Thanks

So using a separate FTP client is out of the question? I ask because my workflow uses a separate FTP app - it makes it much easier to troubleshoot FTP, server, and file permission issues. And it doesn't crash Dreamweaver. So again, are you sure you can't adjust your workflow to use a separate FTP application? (I use Transmit on the Mac and it has some wonderful features including a built-in Sync capability)
How do you have Dreamweaver's FTP functionality set-up?
Are you using Passive FTP?
Are you using a reverse proxy server in your network?
Have you tried the Mac Network Utility to ping your FTP server?
What kind of ping times are you getting?
Do you experience network latency issues frequently?
Do you have Mac OS X's Firewall enabled and have you tried disabling it before an FTP session - does this effect anything?
Have you tried unchecking Dreamweaver's Use FTP performance optimization? (Site Definition->Advanced->Remote Info->Server Compatibility)?
Do you have any network engineers in your IT department? Can they look at their information and maybe see what might be happening on the network?

Waiting For Server CS4 Virgin Media 1and1

Hi
Over the last few month I have been getting "Waiting For Server" error messages from Dreamweaver while working on my websites hosted on a dedicated server with 1and1. My ISP is Virgin Media, whith whom Ihave a 50MB connection using a Virgin Media super hub.
This problemn didn't exist just over a month ago.
I have asked boith 1and1 and Virgin Media for help. Both deny there is a problem with the connection at either end and have suggested it is a Dreamweaver problem.
I have completely uninstalled Dreamweaver on both my Laptop and Desktop PC's.
I have tried the passive FTP and server compatibility settings within Dreamweaver, with no difference.
I have also tried using a couple of external DNS services, with no difference.
While I'm working, I can mayb eedit and save 5 files, then on mayb eth e6th I'll get the waiting for server message, which will then connect and save the file after about 30 seconds.
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions that I haven't tried yet?
Many thanks
Mr M

Yes, I am editing the files directly on the server. Until recently, I've been working this way for years.

Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at SERVERNAME

I have installed SQL 2008 R2 in a fresh win 2008 R2. I’m running the sharepoint configuration Wizard using the database server name with the correct domain
credentials but I get the following error message. “Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at
SERVERNAME. The database might not exist, or the current user does not have permission to connect”
I‘m able to login to the new SQL server using the “SQL server management studio” with no problems. I used the sa account and a domain account.
The sharepoint server is also a new installation. And both servers have the firewall disabled.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon

Hi,
What is your SharePoint server’s version?
Please make sure you use the farm admin account to launch SharePoint configuration wizard. If not, please log in with this account, then check the effect.
In addition, check if you create a named instance, such as, servername\sharepoint, however, you only specify the servername in the configuration wizard. If this is
the case, change to servername\sharepoint, then check the effect.
Thanks,

"waiting for server" A DW problem or internet?

Hello again
As per title, Im getting frustrated with my computer! Im finally getting a long awaited re-build of my site done, BUT Im getting alot of "waiting for server" the files are uploading (mostly) but very very slowly
Where do I start for a fix? Is it internet? a 123-reg server prob? or a DW prob
OR could it even be my computer?
Ive set this day aside to get the site done, but im spending more time "googling" the problem than getting work done! Hence the direct question!

There are a lot of variable here, it could be your connection speed. If you had dialup (remember that), you would get this all the time. Another thing to look at is from another post.
I'm using DW CS3 on a Vista 64 system.
I work in split screen - Code and Design.
Fairly "busy" pages with Google ads and other external banners in the sidebars, as well as other external javascript and CSS files.
(Note the problem is not there when using only code view - DW becomes unresponsive only when a design view is open.)
Tried the delete-cache-file fix and it didn't work. (I noticed that the deleted cache file was NOT recreated on subsequent DW startups.)
What worked for me was changing a setting found in the View menu.
"Display External Files" was checked on.
Turned if off and suddenly DW started working again
(I noticed that after I did this, that deleted cache file was recreated.)
The problem and solution are repeatable on my system.
Turn that option on and open the "problem" page - DW freezes
Restart DW, turn that option off and then open the "problem" page - DW runs.

Waiting for server... messsage

Hello,
I've been trying to use dreamweaver on my home computer and
it wont load my remote files. I keep getting the waiting for server
message. I've tried different versions of dreamweaver and I still
have the same issue. I've also tried connecting to different hosts
and still I have the same issue.
Thanks

All I have at home is my linksys router.
I loaded Dreamweaver on my Windows XP version on my Mac and
didn't test a Dreamweaver for Mac install yet.

"Waiting for server-" errors in Contribute CS4

Haven't updated my website in a while, so this is new for me, but starting yesterday I've gotten nothing but "Waiting for server..." errors every time I try to edit or publish a page. It takes about 10 attempts before the page finally downloads for edit or publishes. So a 2 minute task now takes about half an hour and it's driving me crazy. I'm using Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5).
Has anyone else seen this behavior or know of a work-around?
thanks!

WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
Any ideas about the root cause?

Here is my site configuration in OpenSSO:
There are 4 servers in the two opensso hosts (2 secure, 2 non secure)
Servers:
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
Only one site with secure URLs is configured
Sites:
site1
Primary URL: https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO
Assigned Servers:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
From the CoreSystem log, Server ID definitions are:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO=01
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO=02
https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO=03
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO=04
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO=05
Sometimes it throws an exception with existing server IDs. But sometimes it also complains about non existing server IDs.

I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

I cannot use the software.. so you need to figure out where the problem is..
But let me suggest.. the Mac is not the issue and likely the info from Sony is also up the creek.. they make PC's after all.
It is far more likely the camera is having issues with the wireless network.
Do you know you have a connection to the home network on the camera.. ?? You have an IP address and some internet or local access at least?
How you will discover those things is by fiddling.. but if you can tell me what wireless AP you are using that will help.

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.
Best wishes,

Cannot connect from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares

Hi guys,
I am having dificulties connecting from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares.
First of all it takes so long time to discover the share in iMac, which it's called "mediaserver". After finding it i cannot connect and gives "Connection Failed: message. If i choose "Connect As.." option i wait some time and then pops out with an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "mediaserver". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
If i try from Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... write in Server Address : smb://mediaserver it fails. But if i write the IP address, like: smb://192.168.1.42 it works after couple of tries. If i try now to Make an Alias for the share i get "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (eror code -8060)."
Has anyone experienced these problems ? I have updated to Mac OS X version 10.7.3. Could that be the problem ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Simi

You need to reinstall the updated WHS connector for Mac. You should then be able to access your shares on WHS 2011.
The problem I'm having is I can't get Time Capsule to recognize the WHS 2011 mapped folders that show up on the desktop as a drive, so Backup won't work.

Waiting for server

Why am I eternally waiting for the server when I'm trying to upload tiny text files to a web site with a perfectly good connection? This happens all the time. One minute I'm waiting until the connection times out and the next it's perfectly fast. What's the point in using Dreamweaver if it can't upload to a server? It's mostly useless otherwise. Transmit works ten times faster and is much more reliable and cheaper. Why can't Adobe simply buy Transmit and stick their code into Dreamweaver, since there is nobody at Adobe who actually knows how to program anything. They're all too busy trying to look cool while making long-winded videos.

Under Edit --> Preferences --> Site I have experimented with FTP disconnect (idle) and FTP time out high values low values - I am currently set to disconnect after 0 minutes idle and 60 second on the time out.
Many people have tested and Adobe should put a FTP log sniffer on the FTP process and look at ever command in the Upload to see where and why the FTP process hangs up. Why does it fail some times and work other times. It can fail on the 1st FTP after restating the PC, opening DW only and doing a post. The FTP in the DW Log is insufficient and does not record the full process or if it does, the log is out of sequence with the actual events.
I ran a put on a small directory - the DW FTP log shows all files transferred. On the server, I could see that the files were all updated, yet DW was hung up with a message waiting on server and the lower right status line had an icon under Files and a message - Sometimes during a get when the local file is open in DW and is also selected as part of a multi-file download, DW pops up a dialog box warning of the loss of changes (the dialog box is behind the background activities window and is not visible, unless one mouse's over the taskbar icon that displays the DW editor window and background activities window, then mouse-over on the background activities window beings the hidden overwrite and lose changes to the forefront. Even though it is visable one can not interact with the dialog box as its non-modal and all of DW is frozen waiting for user interaction with a hidden dialog box.
If you read the posts - the common problem is that FTP connects properly intermittently, results in long waits/timeouts. FTP cant publish when the preceding FTP is hung-up. Forcing a cancel often frees up the blockage allowing FTP to post properly / maybe on the following attempt. While this is part of the problem, its not the entire problem. If one is a web developer working on multiple sites and makes updates often, this problem is very pronounced. Switching between websites is also a problem and causes DW to greyout and the system to respond that the Dreamweaver application is not responsive close or wait.... I wait and it comes back. I am on an I7, Win7 Pro, All SSD drives - my PC smokes. However, DW has issues related to bottlenecking or waiting for some internal process to respond before allowing FTP or a change from one local site to another. - If the FTP is not locked up, I can open and close different sites as fast as I can click. FTP upload site-A and then switch to site-B, DW hangs up, does not release Site-A (for a while) and the OS pops up a dialog that the application is not responding.
Instead of guessing at problems, Adobe should create web space on Linux and Windows platforms, load a test site that is comparable to a real world site with linked CSS, included images, .... and then do some posting and analyze the problem first had. Adobe has the resources to test its code. If Adobe needs access to a live case, I will provide access. You have my profile information, call or email me and I will respond.
