Dreamweaver 8 forgets ftp login and password

I entered my FTP information in Dreamweaver 8's Remote Info
section, and clicked the Save checkbox. When I open Dreamweaver, it
remembers the ftp host, but the login and password are blank. Any
ideas?

go to adobe.com site and get the 8.02 update installer.

DW8 forgets FTP login and password

Each time I open Dreamweaver 8 to work on my site, I have to
re-enter the FTP login and password. This only began happening
recently. I check SAVE box, but DW8 does not save the login or
password ... so I have to re-enter every time. PLEASE advise what
could be causing this. Thank you very, very, very much!

FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
(even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
problem.

Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
improvements.
I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
I did however discover that there is still what could be
considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
it's data.
I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
before only that one will be saved.
So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
be this way.
But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
for the next editing session.

I can't remember by FTP login and password CS4

How do I find out my login and password with Dreamweaver CS4. I can't upload any modified web pages without this password. Can I have someone e-mail me a new password? Can I just change to a new password?

>Still nothing working…
What does that mean? It's not working after you disabled your firewall?
>I DO NOT know how to start a second FTP username and password and use that in Dreamweaver.
See if this helps. It's a step-by-step guide for Hostmonster FTP.

>Could I just delete the site entirely from Dreamweaver and start a fresh one with new username
No, that's not the problem. The credentials you enter in DW must match your FTP account credentials of your site.

Dreamweaver Update forgets Account Names and Passwords?

This morning I did the Adobe updater thing and it snagged five applications, including Dreamweaver which I was working on.
I closed Dreamweaver and hit [Continue] and it finished. I'm now running Dreamweaver 11, Build 4916.
I re-launched Dreamweaver and made a few edits to the page I was working on and saved those, and got an FTP error.
A little snooping reveals that there is now no account name or password listed in my Site settings. And it's that way for EVERY site!
Okay, calm down... d e e p breaths... Let's re-import the Sites using the old .ste files, right? They were created with the selection to save account names and passwords, too. Point-point, click-click, building the new [2] site and... edit the page, save the changes and Boom! Ftp error, again.
How can I fix this, please?

Thank you so much! I was afraid I was going to have to contact a dozen server administrators and recharge a dozen different passwords and then make sure that everyone up and down the line had the new ones, etc.
I'm going to look into finding the article you mentioned.
Thanks, again!

Login and password can't be saved(ftp)

Hello
Still using Dreamweaver8 on a pc-xp.
Somehow in the "Managing Sites" > Edit > Remote Info
>
the login and password have dissapeared to access the remote
files,
after the program has been shut and reopened again.
Is there another way to store this information in a file?
Where on the filesystem?
Greetings

Thank you, John. That was quick. Now I Understand that it
happened after
reinstallling a backup system with Ghost, in May. The
Ghost-backup did
not have the 8.02-Upgrade yet. Had the Upgrade-Installer
still on my

Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows) does not remember ftp username and password

I have seen this problem mentioned in other threads concerning Mac instalations of Dreamweaver, but this is a Windows installation. I recently installed DW CS5, and it refuses to remember the ftp username and password after I quit the program and restart it later. This was never a problem with CS3. It is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?

OK, got it fixed. Even though it said it was pointed to the correct directory in "local site folder" I picked it again and then it said something like "rebuilding cache". and it worked.
Thanks!

Dreamweaver 8 won't hold site login and password information

Hello,
When I enter the login and password information for my DW8
sites and click the save box, it will work fine for the rest of the
work session. I can connect, upload and download without a problem.
But the next day when I try to work on the site again, I get the
error message that the site cannot be found, and have to go back
into manage sites and enter the information again. Can anyone tell
me why my DW isn't keeping this information?

Nevermind...after looking further through the site, I found
that it was a problem identified by Adobe and solved with an update
patch. I will download that and it should do the trick.
Thanks.

FTP Usernames and Password issues in DW 8 for Macintosh

Hi,
I have an issues in DW8 on Mac OS 10.4.9. Every so often, my
FTP usernames and passwords in the Dreamweaver site definitions
will swap. That means that the username from one site will now be
in the site def for another site. Nothing else ever swaps, e.g.,
the local paths, passwords, and other settings are fine. It is just
the usernames that seem to move from site to site at random. If I
have a test server set up for a site, it also happens there. I've
looked everywhere and can't find anybody else who has had this
problem. I know there is a similar issue on Windows with IE7, but
haven't seen anything on the Mac. This happens on both my G5 tower
and iBook. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I would
appreciate it. It's not too big of an inconvenience, but it is
annoying. Thanks in advance!
Brian

Although it may not be the solution, have you installed the
8.0.2 updater?

Captive Wi-Fi network not saving login and password

Since yesterday my iPhone 5S stopped asking if I want to save the login and password information when start a session on a captive Wi-Fi network. The settings Safari>Passwords & Autofill is on and Safari isn't in Private mode. It was working until yesterday and had the option to automatically fill in when I touched the login field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
iPhone 5S - iOS 8.0.2

Well, I tried to duplicate what you talked about. I have my wireless here at home, and I chose, "Forget this network" and when I went to rejoin, it asked for a password. Many public networks take their username and password through the browser. Have you tried to open Safari to see if it will default to the username/password screen? I've used mine at hotels that change their access every 24 hours and if I try to log back on after the time, it defaults back to the login screen. That is the only solution that I can think of. And yes, if you go to settings and reset network settings, it will clear all of them.

Remote Login and Password no longer being stored

I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but ever since
I upgraded to IE7, Dreamweaver 8 will no longer store my website's
remote login and password (under Remote Info). Every time I re-open
DW and try to upload something, I have to re-enter the info, even
though I check the "save" box every time.

>I don't know if this is a coincidence or not
No coincidence as you'll see from many many of posts here a
week.

Why if my iCloud info is the same as my iTunes login and password does it say the account name or password is incorrect when trying to log in

Oops
Forget that, wrong forum.

Losing ftp userid and password for all sites

DW CS5 Version 11 Build 4913 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3. My Dreamweaver was updated yesterday I believe. Today, all my sites lost their ftp userids and passwords. I put information back in and now, once again, the information is missing. I don't know what to make of this. Is the problem related to the update or is it just post hoc ergo sum. I have a slight suspicion that Skype (one release behind) might have something to do with this.
What would you do?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

I think the problem may be solved. I cleaned out the Mac keychain of related entries, and updated Skype. Interestingly, the Skype keychain entry had information for one of the web sites. Hmmm.

Dreavweaver CS3 Loses All Logins and Passwords Regularly

Dreamweaver CS3 regularly loses all saved logins and passwords.
All I have to do is closeout Dreamweaver, shut down Windows, reboot, then open Dreamweaver and all my saved passwords and logins are gone. This doesn't happen every time, but has happend 3 times over the past two months.
Any ideas on how to avoid this? any ideas how to get back all of my saved passwords and logins, so I don't have to re-enter them all the time?
I'm running CS3
Windows XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad CPU
Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

Although it's for DW8, does any of this help?

Somehow firefox now opens with my windows mail. Each time I enter my password it asks if I want to save it so I don't have to retype my login and password each time. I hit yes and when I leave firefox it doesn't keep my password. I would like to either

I recently went to open my windows live mail,which normally opens because it has my login and password saved. Now it opens in firefox and I have to retype my login and password everytime I open my mail. I would like when I open my mail not to have to retype my login and password as this is why I have it set up in the original windows mail anyway. So I have attempted to live with this problem by adjusting the options to save my password and when I close out of firefox and try to reopen it later in the day I have to retype my login and password again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
