Dreamweaver 8 FTP problem

Hi,
I have updated from Dreamweaver MX 2004 to Dreamweaver 8.0.2
three days ago. Everything went well with that update.
Dreamweaver 8 has kept my old FTP data so I was able to
connect without problem to my server and work flawlessly with my
files. But today, I thought it could be a good idea to refresh my
FTP data, so I have removed it and build new FTP server data inside
Dreamweaver 8. -- Now I can connect to the server, but I have lost
all my links to my folders, etc. Pictures are not displayed anymore
until I have to write the full path
http://www.etc.etc/etc to relink
to my folders.
Do anybody knows why, without having changing the links into
my site, dreamweaver doesn't recognize the relative path that links
to my folder? FYI, every .html, .js and .css files are placed
inside the same root folder, my pictures are placed in sub folders
in the same root.
Best Regards

Not possible unless you made some mistake. Did you by chance
create a
TESTING server as well? I have seen some people duplicate the
Remote site
settings for the testing server - and that would be a
problem.

DW8 does allow this approach, but it's a very dangerous mode
to work in -
particularly if you are not too sure about what DW is doing.

Dreamweaver FTP problems and Yosemite [subject edited by moderator]

Dreamweaver (newly) installed won't recognize my server (ftp.jakkoke.com). Have checked firewall (no problem), other ftp programs which work just fine, old version of Dreamweaver - works but not with Mac os 10.10 Yosemite. Set up irs.guv - new Dreamweaver communicates with this and other FTP sites just fine. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice. What am I to do?

Hi jekoke,
Please follow the steps mentioned below:
Quit Dreamweaver if it's running.
Go to Spotlight (magnifying glass icon on the far right hand side of the menu bar) and type "Keychain". Look for the "Keychain Access" application and click to launch it.
In Keychain Access, you should see a list of Keychain items. Look in the "Name" column for an item named with the Site Name of your affected site. It will look something like this: "SiteName-SiteServer 0". It will also say "application password" in the "Kind" column.
Click the item to select it. You should see some properties of the Keychain item appear at the top of the Keychain Access window. As a double check, ensure that the value shown for "Account" is the FTP username. If it's not, then you may have the wrong item.
Once you're happy you have the correct item, and it's selected, hit the Delete key to remove it. Leave the application open for now.
Start Dreamweaver, go to the "Manage Sites" dialog box (Site > Manage Sites...), and edit the affected site. Click on the Servers section and double click the server in the list to edit it.
Enter the FTP username and password, then click Save to close the edit server box, and click Save again to close the edit site box.
You should now see that a new Keychain item has been created in Keychain Access (it should have the same name).
You can quit Keychain Access and Dreamweaver now, then restart Dreamweaver and check if it works now without having to re-enter the FTP details.
Please let us know if you still face any issues.

FTP Problems with Dreamweaver 8

The webmaster for the library I work for recently had
difficulty with her computer. She did a system restore from her
discs, and, after that, reinstalled Dreamweaver 8. She sent me an
email to let me know she needed my assistance setting her DW FTP
back up.
While her computer was down I decided to reorganize the
website files. There were dozens of old files and most of the
images and html were scattered throught the main part of the file
tree. She really liked the changes, but, after connecting her to
the site and downloading all the files, a problem arose.
Once she got her laptop back home every time she'd connect to
the FTP she got a group of folders named "Windows, Linux,
Speedtest" and a few others. I contacted our webhost and they told
me this meant she was logging in anonymously. We have our login
name and password in correctly, though, so this shouldn't happen.
No one at our ISP could help me do to them not being familiar with
Dreamweaver.
After playing around with the machine a bit I found that if I
deleted the site from the FTP and re-did it using the same folders
then the first connection was succesful. But, after disconnecting,
the same problem happens again.
I found this article and wondered if it could be causing our
problem.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=3491671c
The only thing that makes me think it might not be is the
fact that our login and password stays in the box, but, for some
reason, the FTP is connecting anonymously. Could her doing a
recovery have led to this? Maybe there's an update she needs to
apply that she didn't get after doing the recovery?

It's hard to know what kind of things happened with your
moving stuff around
outside of DW.
Suffice it to say that most FTP problems are router/firewall
related. Does
this help at all?

Dreamweaver CC/Windows 8.1 FTP problem

Dreamweaver CC v13.1 Build 6443 with Windows 8.1 64 Bit.
Updated to Windows 8.1 last night and ever since, FTP within DW has stopped working properly. Sometimes it will work but mostly I get "Waiting for server" before any put or get action fails.
I have disabled Windows firewall and tried various FTP settings in the site manager to no avail.
Dreamwever CC on a Windows 7 machine I have works fine, as does an external FTP client (Filezilla) on the Windows 8.1 machine.
I have checked for Dreamweaver updates in the Cloud but I seem to be running the latest version.
Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received!

Sorry for the delay on getting back to this - yes, new sites have been defined and all FTP options explored but the issue remains. Searching the various forums this appears to be a "bug" in Wininet.dll which appears to get installed along with IE11. As yet Microsoft don't seem to have acknowledged the problem but if you search for "Windows 8.1 FTP issues" you will see that pretty much every piece of software out there with built-in FTP function is suffering as are many of the FTP client apps.
This is a major problem for the Dreamweaver workflow - well, at least my workflow and it's very frustrating indeed. I'm currently using the Dreamweaver FTP function but having to do everything one file at a time and even then, sometimes it fails and hangs with "Waiting for server".
If perhaps at least the Adobe developers recognised the problem then perhaps that might just jolt Microsoft into taking the issue seriously.

I'm suddenly having problems uploading my site with Dreamweaver FTP?

I've been using CS6 for a couple of years and suddenly I'm having trouble uploading my site using Dreamweaver FTP?

Maybe your host did something on the remote server side. Have you contacted them?
Do you have enough available server space?
Can you upload files with a 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla?

Dreamweaver FTP continues to hang endlessly when I cancel stalled upload. Also how can I see historical FTP log?

It seems like Dreamweaver handles connection problems very
poorly when I am trying to upload something and the operation
stalls. I'll click "cancel", but the FTP client will never cancel -
I'll just get a few repeated messages like "Operation timed out.
Cancelling...", and I can never get the client to break away from
the operation so I can manually try something else.
Nor can I even close the program. A lot of times I'll have to
manually kill Dreamweaver via Task Manager and restart.
Also is there a way to see a log for anything other than the
most recent FTP operation? Sometimes I want to see what Dreamweaver
has been up to over a longer period, but it only shows the most
recent operation.

I was having a FTP problem with Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac
where some sites would connect and some wouldn't, I just couldn't
solve it. I thought it was my hosting company with corrupt
permissions on their server.
I got on to Adobe technical and luckily they ran me through a
sequence which solved it. It did mean uninstalling the whole of my
CS4 Design Premium and reinstalling under root access.
Here's the process a tech operator gave me, assuming you're
running on a Mac, if not I guess a lot of this could still work on
a PC with a parallel app. Good luck.
I would suggest backing up all of your site information,
then uninstalling Web Premium CS4 using the following steps:
1 Disable Time Machine if you have it running.
2. Navigate to the following folder:
Applications/Utilities/Adobe
Installers
3. Run the uninstaller for Design Premium CS4.
Once the software has been removed, please download and
execute the Adobe CS4 Clean Script. This will remove any remnants
of the CS4
applications on your computer. You can download the script
from the
following location online:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406241
After running the Clean Script, please verify that all of the
CS4
applications are no longer present in your Applications
folder.
Next, install Design Premium CS4 in the root user account.
Unless the
operating system is damaged, this should resolve any
permissions issue that might arise installing the software in your
existing user account as the root user has full read/write
privileges. To enable and enter the root user account, please
perform the following steps:
1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Utilities.
2. Open Directory Utility.
3. Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
4. Enter an administrator account name and password, then
click OK.
5. Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
6. Enter the root password you wish to use in both the
Password and
Verify fields, then click OK.
Once you have installed the software, please launch one of
the point
products and then update the Design Premium Suite before
logging out of the root user account and disabling it.
At this point you may also enable Time Machine again.

CS3 Dreamweaver FTP errors

connection: CS3 Dreamweaver>MacPro(10.4.10)>Airport
Extreme>SBCmodem>Yahoo Web hosting
Since upgrading to intel mac w/ CS3, I am constantly getting
FTP errors. All client accounts are set to passive. Usually it
takes 2 or 3 attempts to connect to server. On one client account
that is set up for Contribute, I get error messages at the end of
an 11.9MB podcast upload saying the file was skipped–so I end
up using fetch to upload the file.
Most of the accounts are legacy and never had a problem
ftp'ing to server w/ G4 rig.

Here is the message I get when my upload completes. The
status bar goes to 100% so it appears that the upload is complete,
but not to be.
Started: 11/5/07 8:22 AM
Operation timed out. Cancelling...
podcasts:broadcast162.mp3 - error occurred
Connected to ...
podcasts:broadcast162.mp3 - skipped
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not
completed.
Files skipped: 1
Files with errors: 1
podcasts:broadcast162.mp3
Finished: 11/5/07 8:30 AM
If I then look at the remote directory, I see the following
file: "broadcast162.mp3.new" and the file size is correct, 11.9MB.
So then I resort to using Fetch to upload. Adobe, please fix
Dreamweaver FTP!

NAS200 Ftp problem

Hi,
I have a little problem with my NAS200. When I try to connect to ftp, I got an error like this:
200 transfer type changed to ascii
227 entering passive mode
Whats wrong ?

Hi gieras. Has this worked before? Have you tried to access it using another computer? Possble reason why you can't access it is Windows firewall settings on your computer. I am not really familiar with the error codes that you mentioned but I've read another post here that may help: https://community.linksys.com/t5/Network-Storage/NAS200-FTP-Problem/td-p/120996

Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file

So, after having trouble with my Photoshop scratch disk, I had to do an archive and install of my Mac OS 10.6.1 then reinstall the Adobe suite. I then had to run the Licensing Repair Tool (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html).
Now everything works but Dreamweaver, which is throwing the following error:
"Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file.
Please delete the current menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml"
I tried that. menus.bak is a directory, not a file. Even renaming the directory didn't work.
I saw this http://forums.adobe.com/message/2188511#2188511
but I don't have a /FlashPlayerTrust/ directory, nor do I see what that has to do with Dreamweaver.
I couldn't find a corresponding solution for this http://forums.adobe.com/message/862339#862339 for the Mac OS.
This http://forums.adobe.com/message/3396334#3396334 didn't help, either.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

This is the error I got after deleting (moving) the configuration directory.
"No document types have been found in the Configuration/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now."
I've reinstalled the entire Adobe CS4 (which fixed my Photoshop problem but created this Dreamweaver problem) and then reinstalled Dreamweaver alone.
I've also attached a screenshot of the Dreamweaver directory tree with the menus.xml files.

Dreamweaver Installation Problem

Hi
I have started to download Dreamweaver and shortly after the serial no is accepted the message comes up to close Adobe Bridge CS5 ( Bridge.exe ) - I do not have Bridge open but can remember getting a similar message when I installed PS5 a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I did not note down the solution which was given to me at the time - I think this is also hindering me downloading Bridge updates.
Can any one help ?
Regards
Martin

Thankyou - that worked. Just as a matter of interest why does the process show even if the application has been closed down ?

How to login and download content using the Dreamweaver FTP

Hi ya,
I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver, and currently working my way through tutorials.
I have be given details for my company website and told to login via the Dreamweaver FTP and download all the files for Dreamweaver from there.
The details I have been given are:
IP Address
User Name
Password
I have been looking in Dreamweaver as to where to type in this info. (Guessing its somewhere in the 'Manage Sites' tab), but can't seem to find the correct place to login.
All the tutorials I find seem to be about how to upload through the FTP not download.
How do I go about using the FTP details given to download the Dreamweaver content to manage my website?
Thanks

Which version of Dreaamweaveer?

Dreamweaver FTP not synchronizing

Hi
I have found recently that my dreamweaver Ftp does not seem
to be synchronising properly. At least thats what I think it is.
For instance
sometimes when I upload a page to make changes to a page
already on the remote server, the changes do not show. However If I
delete the page on the server and then upload the page with changes
it shows the changes. This happens now and again. does anyone know
why this maybe and how I couls remedy it?
thanks

Hi,
in addition to "bemdesign": My various opinions expressed to this much discussed subject, show that I prefer Filezilla. For each task in whatever area we search for the experts, we do not charge a "jack of all trades".
So I prefer to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server, with a program which works "outside" of the DW.
Therefore I am using filezilla, it simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and
http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server.
Hans-G.
P.S.
Here I'll quote a hint from Nancy O. for DW applications:
Try toggling Passive and/or Secure FTP on/off.
Your web host might have changed upload requirements to improve security.
Another thing to check is your Anti-virus and Firewall settings. If they are too restrictive, DW may not have permission to connect to the remote server.

Dreamweaver 8 on INtel Mac ftp problems????

The basic setup: I have an emac, installed Dreamweaver 8 (actually the entire studio package), it works fine. I want to move our webpage to a new imac (intel). I've copied the files, installed Dreamweaver 8, done the set up for the site.
The problem is: I can't get the FTP connection to work. Whether I'm in the SIte Management section,the TEST part, or trying to connect (with the little electric plug icon), I get this message...a file activity window opens, "An FTP error occured -- Cannot make connection to host. Dreaweaver could not connect because the serve is down or not accepting connections."
Things I've tried: I've explored diligently the Adobe/Dreamweaver website.
I've deleted the Files for Dreamweaver, the web site files from the local host, I've tested the connection using other FTP methods (safari -- a test suggested by Adobe or FEtch); I read some of the posts here after searching for Dreamweaver/Intel items. The server is not down since I've been able to connect an upload from another computer; the computer does perform FTP using other methods...which I suppose I can do...but it makes an extra step.
I"ve tried using Passive FTP or not; I've tried everything I can think of...or suggested by outside sources (adobe, an instructor who teaches Dreamweaver, the Apple forums here); I modified the Hard drive name to eliminate spaces;
I've come to the conclusion it is more an "Apple" issue rather than a Dreamweaver issue.
I'm using the Dreamweaver on an emac and it works flawlessly!! But I need to use the emac for other purposes and set up the website on the Intel imac...
The Question: Any ideas or solutions or something to try????
Thanks for any help, suggestions, ideas. Cathy (working in an elementary school computer lab...)

Yes--I've tried the "test" ftp address suggested by Dreamweaver; I've used fetch to connect as well as upload something.
I've connected to the server from another computer....
Thanks for trying but...the server seems to be functioning okay.

Dreamweaver CC - FTP problem to access

I´m having some problems to upload files with my Dreamweaver CC.
Every time I try to upload something to the root of my FTP, I get an error message, meanwhile I try to upload to a sub-folder I don`t get any.
You may think that it's a FTP permission issue, but I have check with my provider, made some test and it seems that there is not the problem.
But more strange is that I also have Adobe CS5, and with this one I can upload my files to root without any problem. I have checked both configurations and they are exactly the same (obviously same host, user, pass… etc.).
Do you have any idea where could I have the problem?
Thank you very much for your support

Hi. Is there any progress in solving this problem?
The error message:

OT: FTP problems with DW? Mention the Dreamweaver version

Hi all,
I request all of you to post the version of Dreamweaver when you post queries on FTP related issues. There were a number of bug fixes made in the 12.0.3 and 12.2 update, and it would be of value for the product team to know whether these fixes have helped resolve the problem, and any pending issues.
For users that have made it to these updates, use this post as a sounding board for problems you are still facing with FTP. Having these posts in one place will ensure that we have one link to capture this information.
Moderators and experts: Please request users for the version of DW when they post a query on FTP related issues.
Thanks,
Preran

What firewall do you use? I would sooner think a setting on a
firewall got
changed somehow. I have had this happen to me from time to
time even though
I haven't changed anything myself.
