Colon in Remote Folder Name

Hey all, I'm having trouble setting up a site in Dreamweaver CC.
The problem is the first folder in the path is called "devweb02:sites", and when I save that in the site manager DW changes it to "devweb02/sites" and tells me it can't connect.
I can connect without the remote path and I can navigate into that folder just fine, but there are dozens of sites on this server, it's a mess. I also have no access to change the name of this folder.
Has anyone had something similar happen? Any ideas on getting this to work?
Thanks

They say "real estate is all about location, location, location"
Well "HTML is all about syntax, syntax, syntax".
Colons, semicolons, slashes, question marks, exclamation points and spaces are taboo in file paths and names. You'll need to find a way to change this or it will continue to cause you problems, and it'll get worse if and when you put the site online.

I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website? Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured. File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed. Files with errors: 1 /html

Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

Folder names with diacritics & NFS shares

OK; sometimes things appear simple but are not. Sharing files with an OSX client has been, and is a nightmare in a Linux environment.
We have a mostly Ubuntu environment and have tried Samba, and NFS. After a significant amount of work the Mac can do stable NFS Mounts provided the following unconventional settings are implemented:
In the /etc/exports file on the Ubuntu server:
/some/catalog/to/export 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,allsquash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,insecure)
- anonuid needs to be user ID of the user on the server that is the owner of the catalog
- anongid needs to be group ID of the group on the server that is the primary group for of the catalog
On the Mac in Disk Utility/File/NFS Mounts:
- Enter the correct paths
- click "Advanced" and fill in: resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=32768
This finally let's you mount the share
However, after using the share for a while we discovered that folder names on the share that contains diacritic characters, including characters å,ä,ö and Å,Ä,Ö did not display in the file listing in Finder (In Path Finder Folder names are replaced with " -- "), nor could the folder be opened. However, right-clicking the " -- " in Path Finder and selecting "Get info" did display the correct path to the folder and did display the diacritic characters in the path correctly.
In a catalog containing 264 folders that all had the same owner and the same group & permissions, 94 did not display properly in OSX/Finder and none could be opened. All 94 contained one or more diacritic characters (åäö or ÅÄÖ). None of the 170 others did contain any diacritics. Spaces, and e.g. "&" does not cause problems.
With an Ubuntu client I can NFS mount the same server, and I do get the folder names displayed correctly and I can open the folders. It appears likely there is a bug in OSX - likely in Finder/Path Finder, since the correct path name is displayed in "Get Info".

Gave up on this and downloaded Interarchy (RBrowser seems similar). This is not NFS and not Samba; rather FTP over SSH (SFTP). Secure, even for remote access and works out of the box, like breeze. All access rights intact . And there is a preview of file, rather that open on remote server...

FTP Time Out - Cannot Open Remote Folder

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and windows Vista. I have set-up site definition (with user id and password) and used to be able to connect to the remote server, open remote folders, and upload and download files using Dreamweaver. However, all of sudden I cannot open the host directory remote folder where all of my website information are, It just times out. I can connect to the server, if I don't specify the host directory. I changed FTP time out in dreamwever to increase ftp time, but still it times out. I used to be able to open the host directory without any problem, and I have not changed any information in site definition. I have tried to use fireFTP, and I can connect to the server but cannot open the the host directory, same as in Dreamweaver.
Other pople working on the same website, with same site definition with the same user name and password can connect and open the same host directory remote folder using Dreamweaver on their pcs without any problem. So it seems like the problem is with my pc or Dreamweaver setting, even though I have not changed any settings.
Does anyone know what would be causing this problem and how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

I found out that the remote folder which I can't open (host directory) contains many wmv video files, which might be causing the problem of timing out using Dreamweaver on my PC. Other people can open the same folder using their Dreamweaver on their PCs.
I can connect to another remote server and open all the folders in Dreamweaver without any problems.
Is there any settings I can change in Dreamweaver or on PCs to resolve this issue, or any other suggestions? Thanks.

Trailing Underscore added to folder name

In using Visio 2013 to create an HTM file from a VSD, a folder is also created, containing many little files used to display the HTM in a browser. Example. VSD named
DaleTest, HTM file named DaleTest.HTM, folder named DaleTest_files.
I am working remotely by accessing a SharePoint site. When the HTM is uploaded to a SharePoint 2013 directory from my remote computer, a folder is created in the same directory so the accompanying many little files can be uploaded to it. The folder is then
given a name as described above, DaleTest_files. SharePoint appends an underscore to the folder name. After opening the folder and uploading the little files to it, the HTM will not work.
The code in the HTM is calling for a folder named DaleTest_files, not
DaleTest_files_.
This is proven by opening the HTM file in an editor, adding a trailing underscore to the folder name contained therein, saving, and running the HTM. It then displays normally.
I can't find a way to change the folder name from my remote computer. Obviously we do not want to have to edit code every time this problem arises. What's going on?
Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

If you have Standard or Enterprise, leverage Visio Graphics Services instead to display the VSD in the browser.
How are you uploading the folder?

Publishing bug with FTP servers - Spaces at end of file/folder names

I'm sharing what I've found after lots of troubleshooting with my Mom's iWeb website. I originally came across this in the previous version of iWeb, and have seen it again in the current version.
For the sake of this example, she had an image gallery on her site. The image file she added to iWeb had a space at the of the filename, just before the file extension, something like "image name .jpg"
In the old version of iWeb (iWeb 08), we would publish the site to a folder on her computer, and it would generate a folder for each image in the gallery. These folders would hold the original image and thumbnail image. Each folder name was the image's filename, minus the extension. In this example, the folder name was "image name " with a space at the end, which is valid on the Mac OS X file system.
When we uploaded it to the FTP site (which happened to be GoDaddy) using a 3rd party FTP tool, certain images would always fail to upload. After much testing and troubleshooting with other FTP software, we found that the FTP server did not allow spaces at the end of folder names, and it automatically replaced them with underscores. So, we tried to upload a folder called "image name ", and ended up with one called "image name_". As a result, we couldn't upload any of the files that were supposed to be IN that folder, because it could not be found under it's intended name.
Fast forward to today, using iWeb 09. Now the software allows you to upload to a 3rd party FTP server, so we've stopped using the other FTP software and do it all in iWeb.
She added a new image to her gallery and tried to publish changes, and got the error: "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again lager, or check with your service provider"
Once she removed the image, publishing worked again. It turned out the original image had a space at the end of the filename, just before the extension again. Once this space was removed, everything worked again.
Hopefully this helps somebody else down the road. If you have trouble with certain files, check them for spaces at the end, just before the extension. Perhaps in a future release, Apple could update the site publishing code to trim leading/trailing spaces from folder names.
If you've seen this before, or have any further questions/feedback for me, feel free to post a response. Thank you for reading.

It would be nice if Apple could make their error messages more descriptive of the actual problem so we have a better idea of how to solve it. I am "the mom" who had the problem B2Ben posted about.
The error message seemed to place blame on the ftp server or my ISP, consequently I wasted a lot of time with these people when it wasn't even remotely their fault.
As with most computer problems, I ended up learning a lot from it and it always helps with gaining confidence. This is my 20th year as a Mac user!.. yes, since 1989. I look forward to seeing what some of you have experienced with this same issue.

Now I am connected with VPN, but I can not moiunt a remote folder. I press command+K and I entered:
afp://username@ip-adresse/Groups
But it return an error message
"There was a problem connecting to the server "46.xx.xxx.xx".
The server may not exust ot it unavailbale at this time. Check the server name ot IP address, check your network connection, and then try again
But the server is up and reachable!
Thank a lot for your advises.
Cheers

I even tryed with

So that the variable will always display the corresponding folder name of "Test_Report" wherever the report resides.
Thanks in advance.

Split library, folder names and paths are in a mess. Need to get library all in one place on my storage drive and off my OS drive. In a fix!

Help appreciated on this one as I'm OK on my PC but far from a whizz. Done a little investigation and reading of https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5199195?start=0&tstart=0 but I just can't seem to get anywhere and end up with a very underpopulated iTunes.
To set the scene. Been using iTunes for many years and have had several PCs in this time and migrated the library over. Each time I have had a half hearted attempt at organising it all on 1 drive but it has obviously not gone to plan hence my split library and weird file/ folder paths. e.g.
for some reason my recently downloaded apps are stored in C:/users/mark/my music/itunes/mobile applications. I also have numerous itunes library files on this drive
my music is mainly stored on my storage drive B:/itunes music/music/music. On both drives I have mobile applications folders each with many apps in.
I have set my itunes media folder location to B:\iTunes Music\Music so have no idea why all my downloaded apps end up on the C:/, nor have I any idea why they appear in the library seing as the itunes media folder is set to B:/
I hope you can make heads or tails of this as I am even confusing myself as I type!
Help appreciated as every time I try and move stuff around I end up with a very depleted library and have to remember what I moved where to put it back!

So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared.
It didn't disappear, it moved (because you told Lightroom to move it). It moved from the incorrect folder location, to the new folder location. Please look in the new folder, in whatever location it is in, not in the old folder and the old location, and you will find the photos.

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. Where should I look?

It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

The operation can't be completed because the item "folder name" is in use

Hi everyone,
I think this is quite a common issue but I don't find it really easy to find a solution.
I have a folder containing a folder and no files on a server that I cannot delete, for the life of me.
Whether I use shortcuts or drag the main folder to the bin, I have the same result "The operation can't be completed because the item "secondary folder name" is in use". This folder is just 1 year old so, obviously, I have restarted the computer more than once since then which means that the folder is NOT in use.
I'd like to clean up a bit and remove some stuff and this is bugging!
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!

If you don't have other backup data on it, reformatting external drive could solve the problem.

How to access a url in file receiver CC with space in the folder name?

Hi
PI 7.11 sp4:
In a file receiver channel I would like to send the message to this folder:
de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive\"
But I get this error message:
"Target directory 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\"\de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive"' does not exist"
My question is: where the f.... does it get the 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\ from, and how can I fix it?
One issue is the space in the folder name. I have tried to replace the space with %20 and then remove the "" s around the whole url, but without any luck.
When I log on the server on which Pi is running I can access the folder using the mentioned url including the ""s.
All suggestions would be highly appreciated!

How can I change my "Home directory" folder name?

Hello, everyone.
I was given a pre-owned MacBook Pro that's running OS 10.6.8. How can I change the name on the Home directory folder? I was able to change the Administrator Account settings, but the Home directory still shows the previous owner's name. It bothers me a bit, though, to see the previous owner's name still come up on the Home folder.
I came across the instruction listed below, but I can't get past step 4. It instructs me "rename it just like I would rename any folder." I can't seem to rename it, though. The cursor doesn't come up when I click on the folder name.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I followed this https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3872
and got to the stage of having renamed my Home folder with the new name but the Home folder is STILL designated to the old name?
When I try and create a new user with the new name, I don't get asked if I'd like to use the existing name as Home folder, I get told I can't use the newname because it exists already - thats the end of it - no further options.
So to clarify - I now have oldname folder STILL assigned as Home folder. A newname folder with all my stuff in - apps, desktop, etc etc but this is just another user folder.
Interestingly at login stage, the oldname folder isn't an option. I think I've confused the system somewhere by titling things differently at some stage in an attempt to rename Home folder.
I'm running Mountain Lion (as of yesterday) and because I've kinda lost the use of my User folder as the Home folder, can't get to my Time Machine. I'm in trouble but I'm trying not to panic. Would appreciate any help!

How to change the folder name of saved pictures

A problem I was facing with iPhoto 11.
In the older version of iPhoto everytime I imported photoes from my camera it used to save it in the iPhoto Library under the same exact name as the Event Name. Meaning, if I chose the event name to be "2013 - My Birthday Party" and hit import for the pictures I wanted it to import, the same exact even name I could search for under the iPhoto Library. There under "Orginial" folder I could easily look for "2013 - My Birthday Party" a folder name same as the event name.
Now in teh new version of iPhoto (iPhoto 11) first I've noticed that the folder "Original" now became "Masters" which is fine by me (who cares what teh name is, as long as it stores the pictures and can backup this folder with Time Machine). However, the second thing I realized and this is my problem, is that iPhoto stores all my imported photoes under folder and subfolders which indicates the date I imported the pictures from my camera and not the name of the event.
This is quite annoying, as all my photoes since 2008 are categorized by the event name I gave them and not by the month/day/date etc. as it is now.
My question is whether there is a way to enforce iPhoto to keep the old methodology of storing its photo while keeping the event name under the "Masters" folder?
And please do NOT ask me why I need to go directly to the Finder folder... it doesn't resolve my issue.
Thanks in advance!

You need the latest version of iPhoto for that export option - and you can't run that on 10.6.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Exporting does not remove images from the Library, it simply make a new file.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
