Dreamweaver CS6 in a File Server

Hello.
We've migrated to a new file server and my website local files are in there. Since then, my Dreamweaver crashes or is very slow (i mean, 5 seconds to rename a file). The new file server it's a CFIS. I want to know if there's any issue about the compatibility between DW and these kind of File Servers.
I posted it on Dreamweaver CC Extensions, becauses it's the more similar topic that i found.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks.
Sergio

Dreamweaver CS6 and .ctp files

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS6 and have followed the usual instructions to get CakePHP template files (.ctp) recognised. I'm now getting a strange behaviour: existing .ctp files are working and displayed as PHP (only 'code view' is available), but when I create a new .ctp file it is being classed as plain text. Has anyone else encountered (and hopefully solved) this issue?

If you followed the correct instructions, then all should be to plan:
.ctp files will open as PHP files
Design View will be available

Why is dreamweaver cs6 saving my files as a firefox html document?

Hi, I am using dreamweaver cs6 on win xp sp 3 and it keeps saving my files as a firefox html document and connot figure out how to stop this as i need to get on to my ftp to upload files. It also loaded my site files from dreamweaver cs 5 as a firefox html document. I am running firefox ver 13.0.1. Any Help would be usefeful. I tried google searching and found nothing. And the adobe general help didn't wok either.

Firefox is probably your default web browser which launches anytime you click on an .htm or .html file.
If you want HTML files to launch inside Dreamweaver instead of Firefox, open your file manager (Windows Explorer), and change file associations for .html & .htm files. When you do this, the icon next to those files will change from FF to DW.

Dreamweaver Cs6 Uploading to remote server to web-host,the.swf files do not load on the webpage

all the content works fine with the file path being the computers harddrive :/C "etc"
once i upload to webhosting server all the swf files don't work.
My website is fully complete and ready to go on the web can someone help me and tell me why my content is not showing.
the webhosting customer service rep told me i need to upload with media files checked? im like i never heard of that lol.

The links in the webpage all point to your local hard drive
<param name="movie" value="file:///C|/Users/lol/Documents/Website flash art 5.swf" />
No-one can see these links except you.
This suggests that you have not defined a site in Dreamweaver

Mac Dreamweaver CS6 very slow to open files

Hi
My Mac Dreamweaver CS6 opens html files in about 1-2 minutes! It is very very slow. It all works when the file is open but it is the actual opening that is slow.
I have turned off external files but no change.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

I've been strugling with this issue for a long time.
I've found that Dreamweaver takes about 2 minutes to open CSS files with @import url for font face.
for example:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300);
i've never had problem with big files but if i place this line into my 20k css file, it takes for ever to load.
if i remove it, it opens fast as usual.
Please don't tell me that it could be a Google problem thatis loading slow because it's not.
the font file isnt big enough either.
Of course i have deativated the "load things from external urls" setting.
any ideas on how could this be fixed withoput changing my work style ?

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.

Saving Images in Dreamweaver CS6

I have imported a menu that I created in Fireworks CS6, into dreamweaver cs6, I save to the remote server and you can't see anything.
Same thing with Bridge CS6. I create a slideshow and import into dreamweaver cs6 and still nothing. Or I will simply put a jpeg or png picture file and the image won't show. Please help
I just need to know how to save the different images/menu bars in dreamweaver cs6 to the remote server, and I would like it to show online automatically. What do I do
www.uniquehairytage.com   (this is one of the sites I am talking about)

I can only assume that it's the dodgy code that exports from Fireworks because your images are uploaded and in the correct place.
Can you copy all of the code below and paste it into a new Dreamweaver document (you'll have to open code view to do this) save it as test.html and upload it to your remote server and then look at it in a browser and see what happens?

Dreamweaver CS6 - locks up when connecting to server - sftp

I am using Dreamweaver CS6 on Windows 7 64bit which is connected to a remote server using sftp. Most of the time connecting to the server has been fine but now Dreamweaver has started locking up when I use the Put command. According to the log the process times out but if this is the case surely the program would still be operational. However, when this occurs Dreamweaver is unusable and the task manager has to be used to force the program to close. When it happens regularly (as it is today) the program becomes unusable. The files I have been uploading when this occured today were between 5 and 20KB's.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

Hi,
Use Check-in/Check-out while transferring. This can be enabled as follows:
In the site settings dialog, go to advanced tab and check the checkbox "Enable check-in/check-out". Give a name and a user-id as well. Save the settings now and you can do a get/put or check-in/check-out and confirm does it works or not.
Thanks
Harshit

Dreamweaver CS6 edits to old Front Page site display in preview browser but NOT on live server site.

Howdy Folks,
My Dreamweaver CS6 edits to old Front Page site changes display in preview browser OK …But will NOT display on live server site.
To anyone who can step up to the microphone and speak “solution” I will be much grateful?
Bob MacDonald / VIPpromotions

Are you sure you are uploading the pages to the correct location?
Could you post a screen capture of your expanded files window, showing the remote server and local file structures?
I'm guessing they're not identical and that you may be uploading to a redundant root folder.

Dreamweaver CS6 deleting files instead of putting them

I am currently using Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 with 64 bit Windows 7 Professional.
The issues started when I attempted to get most of the files on my site in order to save them as local versions. Individual files could be retrieved just fine, but if I tried to get more than one file at a time the transfer process would stop about half way through and just sit there doing nothing. No errors were thrown, the progress window didn't shut down, it just wouldn't continue transferring the files (not making any progress at all after about 20 minutes). When I cancelled the process, files that Dreamweaver claimed were finished were completely empty in the local version. After a few attempts I went ahead and used FileZilla to copy all the files to my local machine.
Now I'm having the issue that when I attempt to edit a php file, save it, then put it on the server Dreamweaver claims the transfer was successful, but instead of being put on the testing server the file has been removed from it completely. At the end of the supposedly successfull transfer dreamweaver indicates that is no longer connected to the ftp. The really weird thing is that if I restart dreamweaver and haven't edited a file since starting it, the file transfer works fine. The put works fine weather dreamweaver has deleted the file off the testing server or not, as long as I haven't edited and saved a file since starting dreamweaver. The put also works fine if I open dreamweaver, edit and save the php file, restart dreamweaver and then try the put, as long as I haven't edited and saved a file since the last time I started Dreamweaver.
I am using Dreamweaver to manage three sites at the moment, and the other two work fine as far as I can tell, just this one site is giving me these strange ftp issues. Any idea how I can resolve this?

I don't think anyone has an answer for you. There have been several other posts similar to this in the last few weeks.
The more you can tell us about your system specs and the computing/FTP environment, the better your chances of getting some substantive responses....
Sorry.

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.

Dreamweaver CS6 File Compare

Has anyone been able to get the File Compare feature in Dreamweaver CS6 to work in Mountain Lion?

I have tried using /usr/bin/any3rdpartyShFile
I have tryed 3 different progrms but none load.
The file to compare from sevrer downloads from the server but the 3rd party file comapre program does not launch.
What has succesfully worked as a 3rdparty compare tool and what file path was used on MAC for cs6 dreamweaver ?
I prefer opensource (free) software but this feature is important to me and would pay if I knen it would really work.

How do I stop Dreamweaver from updating the Test server copy of a file when I open the local file?

The subject says it all. Every time I open a file, Dreamweaver connects to the testing server and uploads the local file to the test server.
I want to stop this behaviour. It's annoying!

My testing server is IIS running on my local machine.
The "local" copy of the file is actually on a remote share. I have the test server copy open in Notepad++. The two files are identical save for on extra line in the copy on the testing server. When I open the "local" copy in Dreamweaver, it shows me that some file activity is being done, and then Notepad++ tells me the file has changed and do I want to reload it. If I do, that extra line vanishes.
When I check the file activity log, it shows that the file activity is complete.
I haven't mentioned the production server because it doesn't seem to be affected, but we do have one.

How can I create a pop up window for a Windows Media video file in Dreamweaver CS6?

I have a Windows Media video file on my homepage that plays automatically when you go to the website. I'd like to change my homepage. I now would like to place text that says "click here to play the video" and I'd like a pop up window to open and play the video. I'm using Dreamweaver CS6. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Is the code you told me about (above), is it necessary for older browsers such as ie8? I thought you were saying it was for the HTML5 tags and I wasn't sure I'd bother with it. If it helps people with ie8, I probably should add it.
I include it (or a link to a localized copy of the file) by default now.
To truly support the ancient browsers out there, you'd likely need something like...
<video width="500" height="500">
    <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
    <source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
    <object width="500" height="500">
    <param name="movie" value="video.swf" />
    <embed src="video.swf" width="500" height="500"></embed>
    </object>
</video>
I don't bother with a Flash fall back for old browsers though. I just put in text letting the viewer know they're behind the times pretty severely, like...
<video width="500" height="500">
    <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
    <source src="video.webm" type="video/webm" />
    <p>Your browser is horribly, helplessly and hilariously outdated. Visit <a href="firefox.com" target="_blank">www.firefox.com</a> to download something better, more secure, modern, worthwhile, etc, etc...</p>
</video>
For junky old browsers that can't see any HTML5 (which the <video> and <audio> tags are), they get a text message to get something better and a link to go there.

Ok i have indesign CS6 and all files are stored on a 10.7.5 MAC server. This just started happening. When I open a file indesigns is creating a textfile in the same folder? I need some help on this.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.
