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?

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 Permissions Issue

I've seen this mentioned in several posts but have found no suggestions on how to fix it. Has anyone come up with a fix for this major FTP error in Dreamweaver CS6?
When I update files and put them on a web server through Dreamweaver's FTP client, file permssions for these files are changed from 644 to 0 without my knowledge. When someone loads the page in their browser, they get an error and the page doesn't load. If I then go in and manually set the permissions for the files, things get fixed but they *shouldn't* be broken in the first place.
Is there a FTP setting in Dreamweaver that will correct this problem or is this a bug that Adobe needs to address?
The FTP problem does *NOT* occur with Dreamweaver CS5 running on the same machine, but I hate to go back and forth just to upload files. Since it works in the older program, I feel this is a CS6 issue, not an OS issue.
I'm pulling my hair out and am aready to abandon Dreamweaver CS6 if I can't get this solved.
I'm using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) on a MacBook Pro.
Suggestions on fixed will be most appreciated!

Have you updated your version of DW to the current stable release? Open Dreamweaver > Help > Updates, check, download and install all available updates.
This was a bug with the initial CS6 release, but was fixed in 12.0.3 release for perpetual license users and on 12.1 release for creative cloud users.

Dreamweaver CS6 - FTP changing my file permissions on upload???

ORIGINAL POST: SEPT 19, 2012 http://forums.adobe.com/message/4784335#4784335
Upgraded to cs6. All programs work perfect for me exceopt Dreamweaver.
I have never expierenced this challenge however no matter what file(s) I upload dreamwever is chanign the file permissions.
For instance if I upload an image to the sever the image won't appear. I check permissions and they are set to 0. Same with files.
I have to now go in to each item I upload and change permissions to 644 or 755 depending if its a file or directory.
This is a Dreamweaver exclusive problem as it does not happen when I use Filezilla and Im working on 6 different servers.
ONLY when I upload files with Dreamweaver CS6 do the file permissions change on upload. Cs5.5 no problem.
Any ideas?
Aloha!
STILL NOT WORKING UPDATE:
I was even on with India Adobe support doing a screen share and they watched in real time as I uploaded a file and Dreamweaver and it changed the permissions to 000. You can 'Get' a file with 775 permissions then 'Put' that same file and it will chanve to 000 permissions.
Support failed to address this problem after 30 days and never called back.
STILL NOT WORKING UPDATE: Changing ro SFTP seems to be a workaround.
See Full Discussion here as I posted in the wrong area. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4784335#4784335

I'm using DW6 version 12.2, and this problem is still happening.
The permissions are defaulting to 0664, where I need them to be 0644. Every time I create a new file, it defaults to 0664, and I'm unable (not permitted) to view that file online until I go in, using another FTP program, and change the permissions to 0644... or manually go in the slow-poke way using DW6 Remote View -> [file name] -> Set Permissions.
Too bad there's no way to configure this in the Preferences area of DW6.

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

DREAMWEAVER CS4 - FTP issues

I loaded Snow Leopard onto a new imac last week.
Since loading SL I have not been about to access remote ftp's using Dreamweaver which I have used for years I now get 'permission errors', 'password incorrect' etc.
I also have an older mac here running Tiger and CS3 - no issue accessing ftp's.
The problem I think is Snow leopard interfering with Dreamweaver.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than removing SL and reinstalling Panther.

Hi midnight in oz;
I think there is something wrong with the data you have provided for us.
It is impossible to install Snow Leopard on a G5 iMac as listed in your profile.
Also if your iMac is new one, you will not be able install Panther on it.
Could you please provide us with the correct information so that we might be able to help you?

Dreamweaver CS3 FTP Issue on Mac

Background Info
My Mac laptop which I had been using perfectly fine for over a year with connecting via FTP in Dreamweaver headed off to the shop last week for an unrelated power issue. In its absence, I purchased a Mac Mini to continue with my design work. I used the migration assitant to replicate the exact settings of my laptop on my new desktop from a backup of the laptop. The fixed laptop was returned to me yesterday.
Issue
I went to upload some site changes I had made from my laptop and up pops the FTP error that there is no respnse from server (http://img.skitch.com/20090810-8muhscacixyxkuidwkc2yiimba.jpg). I tried again with the same result and just thought perhaps that sites server was down or similar. I moved on to another site and I get the same error, and with the third site, I decided it was an obvious pattern. I then decide to try uploading the files with the desktop that I had purchased, and it uploads without a hitch.
So any thoughts on why things would work as usual for the new desktop, but never connect (the FTP log is empty) on the laptop sitting right next to it?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Samantha for posting back a soution - I'm sure it will be helpful to others in the future :-)

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.

Dreamweaver CS6 FTP server set up not displaying

The server tab when clicked doesn't show up any options for me so I can't add any sites or manage current sites.
This is a major issue for me and I am paying for a subscription to use this software that isn't functioning properly
Pls can someone help urgently? Thanks.

If it still persists, try creating a new user account on your Mac OS to see if it works there.
I've worked with another user with the same issue in the past. It started off here. With some of the troubleshooting we did, he ended up losing his entire Creative Suite apps! Then he had to re-do from scratch to fix this. But, the new user account worked instantly for him.

Dreamweaver CS6 installation stalls at AdobeHelp

I am having Dreamweaver CS6 installation issues:
Tried installing via Creative Cloud 5 times--and installation kept stalling.
Tried Trial version 3 times--and installation stalls at AdobeHelp -- 24%. the "minutes remaining" keeps going up from 9 minutes to 43 minutes and beyond.
Have tried closing & re-opening Adobe Application Manager, re-downloading, using Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, rebooting, etc. & same issue keeps happening.
Any advice?
On a PC with Vista 32 Home Premium

SOLVED.
I discovered that in Program Files/Adobe there was an old Adobe Help folder from a previous Trial install, never activated. All the folder contents had a 2011 date--so that must have have stalled the new installation.

FTP Broken in Dreamweaver CS6 and CC

I have been unable to ftp into 1 of 3 websites that I maintain ever since upgrading to Dreamweaver CS6 (and now CC). The problem appears to be that the site's root directory name as reported by a PWD command is shorter than the name required to be issued by the CWD command after logging into the FTP server. CS5.5 logs into the website's FTP server without any trouble and the script looks like this:
< 220 Service Ready for new User
> USER .myusername
< 331 Password Needed for Login
> PASS
< 230 User HUBING Logged in Successfully
> PWD
< 257 "/EH05/users/hubing" is Current Directory
> PWD
< 257 "/EH05/users/hubing" is Current Directory
> CWD //gs16/gs16/share/web/cvel
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel"
> PWD
< 257 "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel" is Current Directory
> CWD /gs16/SHARE/web/cvel
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel"
> PASV
< 227 Entering Passive Mode (130,127,239,114,143,84)
> TYPE A
< 200 TYPE Command OK A
> LIST
Dreamweaver CS6 and Dreamweaver CC start out correctly, then suddenly issue a QUIT command:
< 220 Service Ready for new User
> USER myusername
< 331 Password Needed for Login
> PASS
< 230 User HUBING Logged in Successfully
> PWD
< 257 "/EH05/users/hubing" is Current Directory
> CWD /EH05/users/hubing
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/EH05/users/hubing"
> CWD //gs16/gs16/share/web/cvel
< 250 Directory successfully changed to "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel"
> PWD
< 257 "/gs16/SHARE/web/cvel" is Current Directory
> QUIT
< 221 Closing Session
Any suggestions?

Bhawna,
Yes. I can establish a connection without defining the site root folder. The directory that I login to by default is /EH05/users/hubing. One of the other sites that I maintain is in a subdirectory of that folder and Dreamweaver CC connects to that site without any problem. It just isn't able to switch to //gs16/gs16/share/web/cvel. Dreamweaver CS5.5 and WSFTP don't seem to have any problem with this.
Unfortunately, I can't send you the .ste file, because the password can't be shared. I appreciate your help though!

Bad FTP in Dreamweaver CS6

The FTP in Dreamweaver CS6 is really bad and that's mildly said. Actually: it sucks. When will there be a solution? I am a user since the early days of Macromedia and it is never fixed. This article describes the problem perfectly: http://b.smpl.st/2012/08/dear-adobe-dreamweavers-ftp-sucks/

What specifically have you tried to get your FTP up and running?
I'm with Murray on this. I use DW's FTP pretty much exclusively, regularly uploading to several different servers from several different networks and I've never had an issue with the program itself. Any FTP problems I've had, aside from goofed up FTP setting caused by operator error, have come from external sources like bad routers, wonky server settings, lost permissions, insane company firewall settings, etc.
I'm pretty sure with a little digging the folks here can help get your FTP running smoothly.

Bc and dreamweaver cs6 site import issues

- issues importing BC sites in Dreamweaver cs6
- manage sites dialog,
- flash loader spinning, "Retrieving site definition..." endlessly.

Thanks Brad. It is happening only for the sites that aren't set up in the manager. the few that are (after a fresh os 10.6.8 install and a fresh cs6 install) are fine. The ones that aren't working are all the rest. So, about 4 that connect and show business catalyst as the "type" in the manager, 1 (my main rebraded partner site) that shows as type "dreamweaver" and then maybe 15 I can't import. The reason for the dreamweaver type is that I used the ftp creds to set it up so that I could use it rather thna letting dreamweaver sniff out the creds and serve up my login cred screen to tie it together. I only did that since I was desperate to edit. It's a workaround.
I spent a long time on chat yesterday with Adobe Support. Deleted prefs, deactivated dreamweaver, restarted, same issues. They filed a support ticket. I'll try to keep this updated if anyone else would like to know. As always, thanks for the help. - T

Can I stop Dreamweaver CS6 from constantly polling the FTP server?

When I work in CS6 I just work directly off the FTP server. I don't work in a large team, check in and check out is a wasted feature for us. So I have the Advanced server settings to automatically upload files when I save them. This has been working pretty well with the exception that Dreamweaver CS6 seems to constantly poll the FTP server anyway. So often times I'll go to save and it will throw out an error that it can't upload the file right now because it's currently interacting with the server.
Inside Dreamweaver I have the FTP log tab open and it's just constantly looking at stuff on the server at random intervals. It's not downloading anything or reconnecting. I'm having no connection problems at all actually outside of this.
I've poked through settings and I can't find anything that says something like "Stop constantly checking the FTP server, it's still there, don't worry about it..."
Here's the error for whatever it's worth. I wouldn't even bother complaining about this except that it happens to me constantly throughout the day. If it was just once or twice I wouldn't care. The other annoying thing is that when the error occurs it does save the file locally which is pointless for my purposes also but since it flags it as saved I have to make a change in order to get it to save and upload. So a lot of times I'm just waiting for it to stop interacting with the FTP server for no good reason, adding a space, backspacing the space and then hitting save again. Seriously obnoxious, please tell me there's a setting to shut this behavior off.

I'll tell you the real answer - because Adobe Dreamweaver's FTP integration is, and has always been, horrendous. Here I am - working with Dreamweaver in 2013, having worked with Dreamweaver since the year 2000... yes - that is 13 years. And 13 freaking years later I am still having the SAME Dreamweaver FTP issues since back then!!
Like today - let me tell you my workflow.
Open Dreamweaver - knowing that this is going to be yet again another painful day because of the FTP situation
Make a few changes to a single file
Connect - it connects instantly
Upload my file. I'm (relatively) happy.
Work on my file for the next 10 minutes.
Keyboard Shortcuts to save, then upload my file.
Window pops up - Waiting for server
Still waiting for server
Trys to reconnect.
Waiting for server
I cancel. Disconnect... then guess what...
Window pops up - Waiting for server.
I close that window immediately
Reconnect - its fine
Upload my file immediately.
I have to do this EVERY FREAKING TIME I need to upload a file. It is beyond rediculous that this wasn't solved in 2002, but no - ELEVEN years after that it still behaves the same!!!!
I know I'm not alone - just google "Dreamweaver FTP Waiting for server", or "dreamweaver ftp dropping", or anything else like that, and you'll find no end of people in pure frustration.
The only solution that I have found that may actually help ease the pain (doesn't solve the problem unfortuantely) this is something I just found today.
Go to Preferences > Site settings where you can change FTP connection option : Disconnect after x minutes idle
I have changed that to 1 minute. Shouldn't have to, but that's all that can be done.
Please Adobe - start from the ground up with CS7 and completely rewrite FTP in Dreamweaver.
