Dreamweaver deleted my site files!!!

I've had some kind of freak accident...I hope someone can help! I was updating a library item and when it asked to update the pages using that item, Dreamweaver crashed. Now ALL of my 27 site pages are GONE except for the Index page, which was also open when the program crashed. I had not synchronized with my ftp so the files were only on my local site.
Has this ever happened to anyone before? What can I do? I ran a find on my computer for some of the files. None were found. It's like they just vanished...

Wow, I have never heard of such a thing and have no clue how that would even be possible.
Were you saving the actual files into a DW program folder or something? Maybe that would explain a total uninstall having any affect on your actual files. It's a guess anyway.
It's still quite "fixable" even if you don't have a back-up (you have a back-up, right?)
You can create a new site and point to an empty folder on your desktop with the site name. Add your FTP info and save the new, basically blank site definition. You can then connect to your site and choose the "Get" button to download the entire site back to your HD.
Do that for each and you'll be back in business.

  • Dreamweaver deletes remote site info

    I searched the forum with various phrases and only found one
    thread which was answered in 2006, the problem being IE7 Beta 2.
    However someone else posted that they didn't even have IE7 and it
    was still happening to them. I have IE7, but a 'stable' version,
    and this happens every time for every site.
    Any ideas what the problem may be?
    This is for Dreamweaver 8.0.1

    Update to 8.0.2, please.

  • Dreamweaver creating duplicate sites when working with Contribute and CPS

    I've set up many websites with Dreamweaver for a Contribute/CPS environment and each time I edit the Contribute admin setting and save them, Dreamweaver created a duplicate of that site. Then when I go into edit the Contribute admin settings again, it will not let me in, saying that there is already a site with that name. I then have to delete one of the duplicates which sometimes removes the connection to CPS. Has anyone else experienced this in a multi-site, multi-user environment with CPS??? See attached image to see the duplicate sites.

    I have had the same problem.
    Had Dreamweaver support on the phone yesterday, after receiving this email:
    Please try resetting the preferences for Dreamweaver. Follow the steps given below.
    /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver CC Prefs
    /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0.plist
    /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC
    /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Caches/ com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0
    Macintosh /Library/Preferences/ Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC Prefs (if any)
    Macintosh /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0.plist
    Note: Follow the help doc to access user library.
    If this does not help can you please send me details below to isolate the issue further.
    1)      Step by step workflow to reproduce the issue.
    2)      Is this happening with multiple files? Few sample files to test the issue at my end.
    3)      Complete System Information file of the computer having issues.
    4)      Were there any H/w or S/w changes applied on the computer having issues. Since when are you getting this issue?
    5)      Is the user on domain account or local user? Do they have admin rights?
    6)      You BC site details, including FTP address, Login credentials.
    After our telephone conversation:
    I deleted all sites.
    I have completely deleted all versions of Dreamweaver, deleted all preference files and reinstalled Dreamweaver CC.
    It's still happening, so I will be back to them tomorrow.
    Sorta glad it's not just me!!

  • Site File Folders Keep Opening?

    I have an odd issue in dreamweaver.
    Everytime I close a couple certain folders in dreamweaver in the site files panel they keep opening.
    I will go another folder in the site files panel and open it and the other folders open.
    I tried clearning the cache and preferences but that did not work.
    It is very annoying since the folder that open contain many many files.
    thanks

    Did you trash the configuration folder in the user Library on Mac or AppData on Windows?

  • Unable to DISCOVER site files

    Running DW CS5. That works fine.
    Running XAMPP as a localhost server. That works fine.
    Created a MySQL database to match the db name, user, and password on a remote server. That works fine.
    Installed WordPress (using the same admin password as the remote server). That works fine.
    Dreamweaver discovers the site files. That works fine.
    The problem occurs when importing the remote MySQL database information. When Dreamweaver does a site search for the files it reports that the server isn't configured correctly. However, reloading the MySQL database that was created when WordPress was originally installed on the local server, DW has no problem discovering the site files. So, it appears that there is something wonky with the imported database.
    The references in the database have all been conformed to work on the local server. Site search has been run before the change and after; it doesn't matter either way because the site files are never recognized.
    The error message reads:
    "Dynamically related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server."
    At this point I have no idea what to look at as a possible cause.
    Your ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    =================== Update ====================
    Originally exported the database using phpMyAdmin and used the same to import.
    Used WordPress' export/import feature (requires a plugin for the import). It now works fine.
    If anyone has a clue as to why DW chokes when export/import with phpMyAdmin, please share.

  • I uninstalled and re-installed dreamweaver and it deleted ALL of my site files!

    Using Creative Cloud, I uninstalled and re-installed D6, and now I no longer have ANY site files.  Over twenty sites were deleted.  How can this happen?

    Wow, I have never heard of such a thing and have no clue how that would even be possible.

  • Dreamweaver is randomly deleting my .css file and then crashing...need help ASAP!

    I use Dreamweaver CS 5.5 at my job.  I just built a new website for the company using it and for a while, it was deleting the css file completely while in dreamweaver, but it had the little * next to the title like it hadn't been saved.  i would usually try to close it without saving or crashing it which is normally does after this happens.  So far, the css files have not been totally deleted...yet.  I'm not waiting around for that to happen before I try to fix it.  I've searched google and the forums and have found nothing or any related topics.  I had my computer completely reformatted and that seemed to have fixed it for a short time.  Now I'm on another web project and it's doing it again, but this site is bigger and more important than the last, and I don't have as much time to work on it.  Has anyone come across this bug at all?  I need to get this fixed ASAP...I would really hate to lose my files.  I tend to hit Ctrl+S instinctively these days and i'd hate to do that while it's been deleted.  not to mention the downtime of restarting Dreamweaver only to have it do it again 5 minutes later. 
    Computer specs:
    Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-Bit
    Dreamweaver CS 5.5
    24GB RAM
    intel Xeon X5650 @ 2.67GHz/2.66GHz (2 processors - 24 cores)
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 570
    Please let me know if there are any solutions to this.  Thank you!

    Hmmmm....  When file content randomly disappears, it's usually a symptom of something much deeper -- like a nasty Trojan/Virus,  a failing hard drive, bad CPU or corrupt user account.
    You can try the usual DW solutions below,  but I think you might want your IT guys/gals to run some diagnostics on your computer.
    #1 Ensure your CSS & HTML files contain valid code.  Use the W3C tools below.
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    http://validator.w3.org/
    # 2 When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    #3 If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
    #4 If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

  • How do I open a GoLive backup .site file in Dreamweaver CC?

    Hi,
    I need to recover an old website. It's a .site file that was created in GoLive CS2. I now have Dreamweaver CC and need to find out how I can import/convert that site to open it in Dreamweaver. Please help!! I am using Mac Mountain Lion OSX.

    .site files can only be opened in GoLive.  AFAIK, .site is a database file that is associated with the actual HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images on your hard drive.
    Do you have access to the real site files -- perhaps on your hard drive or a remote server?
    If not, you might find what you need on one of the Internet Archives like Wayback Machine.
    http://archive.org/web/
    The actual site files are what you need to edit in Dreamweaver or any other plain text editor.

  • Managing Apex 3.0.1 Site Files from DreamWeaver

    Hi,
    I recently developed an application using Apex3.0.1 using a pre-defined theme in Apex (Theme 9). I want to make a couple of modifications to this theme, but I am still looking for a way to access the theme's files and folders in the database remotely.
    I tried using WebDEV in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Oracle XML DB Protocol Server to manage the themes folder remotely from my desktop but it comes up with a access denied response, even though Iam using a valid apex admin database account in the connection process. Am I doing the right thing here?
    As a test, I tried typing the url to the apex themes directory directly in the address bar of IE, hoping to get a directory listing, but instead I get a Forbidden response from the server. Hmm..??
    I have administrative access to the Oracle 10g Database Server on which Apex runs, and I don't know what i'm doing wrong!!
    Apart from these, I am still not a 100 % sure of the following:
    1. What account will I use to connect to XML DB using webDAV. Is there an account used to manage the HTTPDB server in Apex??
    2. I understand that the site files are in the database in a hierarchical structure managed by Oracle XML DB, so I am confused on what url path i should specify for the themes folders that I need to manage remotely.
    I would kindly appreciate the help of any Apex expert on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sutherland

    Sutherland,
    I can give you some insight, if your machine is trying to authenticate itself to the server via windows then you need to properly set that up. Also when you want to access the images directory on the server you are accessing XDB and you need the password for that. If you were running XE on your desktop and put http://localhost:8080/i/ in your browser and you would see the 'i' directory displayed. Sometimes, depending on your setup, you have to enter a username and password for XBD before it will display the directory. Try changing 'localhost' to your fully qualified server name and try that in your browser first. After you get that working you might be able to use DreamWeaver. HTH.
    Keep Smiling,

  • Why is my flash content not working on my dreamweaver created html site?

    This is a problem that's happening on my website I'm creating.  I created a quick test website to show you the problem on the fourm.  It's the same problem, and if you can provide the solution to this test website I can apply it to my main website.
    Test website on server:
    test331754952.net23.net
    What I did:
    -launched flash
    -typed "test" and made it spin 360 degrees
    -published swf
    -launched dreamweaver
    -created a site
    -moved swf to site folder
    -saved a html file to the site folder
    -in dreamweaver, went to insert, media, swf, then selected the swf I made
    -it inserted the swf, creating a gray placeholder for it
    -re-saved the html document, at which point dreamweaver created a folder named script and 2 files, an swf, and a javascript file
    Site Directory:
    Scripts Sub-Directory:
    What happens:
    -when I launch the swf on my machine, it plays fine
    -when I open the swf directly on the test website on the server, it plays fine
    -when I open the html with the embended swf on the test website on the server, it shows a gray box, then goes white
    -In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in browser and choose internet explorer, it tells me I don't have new flashplayer(I do: flashplayer 11) 
    Ie also pokes up a box at the bottom that says its not allowing content.  When I click allow content, it creates a gray box
    -In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in borwser and choose google chrome, it tells me flash player has stopped a potentionally unsafe operation.  When I close this dialog box, it gives me a gray box where my swf should be embeded.
    -I've tried changing global flash secuirty setting and it does nothing
    -I've tried visiting the test website on multiple computers in my household to no avail
    -I've tried having friends visit the site on their computer at their house to no avail
    -I did't touch the code on this test website-the code is exactly what dreamweaver generated

    Can someone please help!  I've looked and tried prety much everything.  If you can provide a solution I would GREATLY apreciate it!

    There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
    <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
    For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
    If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).

  • Dreamweaver will not upload file to Server

    I am having an issue uploading files to the server with Dreamweaver. I have been using Creative Cloud for 6 months and the issue started Monday.
    If I select a file, click put icon the FTP access connects to the server successfully. However, the FTP log says "file not transferred - same" and does not transfer the file to the server. The file has been edited, saved and shows the changes in Dreamweaver and in my browser locally.
    I have rebuilt the site cache in Dreamweaver going to Site -> Advanced -> Rebuild Site Cache. Did not resolve the issue.
    I deleted the file on the server (using another FTP program) and Dreamweaver still will not upload the .html file to the server, thus the file is missing. Then I have to upload via another FTP program.
    I am able to upload edited files successfully from another computer that is using Dreamweaver CS 6, so it is not a server problem.
    Does anyone know how to correct this?

    Are both computers on the same router? Can you move the computer that's failing to upload onto a different network?
    I ran into something similar to this a while back, only I couldn't get it to work from any machine on my home network, it was fine from the office, but it wouldn't upload anything at home. Turned out my router went bad and didn't like certain kinds of traffic. I ended up replacing it and everything worked fine.

  • Cannot update published website without errors: requires deletion of site, then creating a new one.

    Hello all,
    This has been a long persisting issue since we purchased Muse in January 2013, but has since then led to a shutdown of my office's website and email in September. Multiple support technicians were eventually able to restore the website, as well as our email function, but the core of the problem lies in the fact that when I update my website, it becomes entirely scrambled, and the only solution provided to me right now is that I need to delete my site completely (through Adobe Business Catalyst) and then create a new one, while transferring over the same domain information. I have yet to receive guidance on how to resolve this issue properly:
    September 06 Email: detailing the series of events
    Good evening, Zak,
    I am reluctant to bring this to your attention because of the comprehensive nature of the following, but I have been told that my absolute last effort should be to contact you with what has been a persistent problem since the last time we had mediated this particular issue. Essentially, when publishing a website multiple times, sooner than later the format becomes scrambled when viewed online. I am being told I am the only customer known to have this issue, and that it needs to be investigated deeper.
    This is a blurb from our original conversation in March 2013:

    I'm also puzzled. This isn't a problem I've seen before for a site published to Business Catalyst.
    Please try publishing again, this time to a new temporary site (they're free). You can choose this option under More Options in the Publish dialog. I'm curious whether publishing to a new empty trial site works.
    If that doesn't work, please send me the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, SendThisFile, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc.
    Thanks.

    Hi Zak,
    I published the website to a new temporary site, and it worked beautifully. Now I just have to fuss with the horizontal bar, and then I'll be super happy. Thank you for your help!
    Sincerely,
    Sarah
    Since this bit of advice, I have freely published to a new temporary site every time the website gets scrambled. I have had temporary websites titled:
    argponline01.businesscatalyst.com
    through
    argponline15.businesscatalyst.com
    along with a bunch more than I cannot recall.
    and Muse files titled:
    argp-uc.muse
    argponline.muse
    argponline_02.muse
    through
    argponline_05.muse
    argponine_3A.muse
    argponline_3B.muse
    and currently, my file name is
    argponline_4.muse (dropbox link)
    I am using Muse on a Mac Powerbook, OSX 10.8.4.
    I don't know how much of the above is relevant, but maybe it makes a difference to you.
    The timestamp on the following thread says September 5th, 2013 4.50AM, but I really sent it the evening of September 4th, 2013. No difference anyhow:

    I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013.
    The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D).

    (D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago.
    When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled.
    I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop.
    I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).

    At this point I have two bookmarked websites for Adobe Business Catalyst Admin Consoles.
    For (D), the Admin Console address was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx 
    For (F), the Admin Console address was argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
    I was able to sign into both.
    When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but was told that I only had a plan for one hosted website through Adobe Business Catalyst, and that I would need to purchase a plan that offered more hosted websites.
    I signed into the Admin Console for (D) and deleted the domain, but given the option to keep associated files just in case, I opted yes, to keep them.
    When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but received the following error message:
    Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain before re-adding it.
    There was nothing visible though the Admin Console for (D) to delete the associated records, so I deleted site (D) in its entirety.
    I continued to try to Add a New Domain for (F), but continued to receive the same error Domain already exists...

    At this point (the morning of September 6th, 2013) we have the following set of parts:
    The published and launched site is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F). 
    For (F), the Admin Console address is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
    The website is now completely down, and I have disrupted email service for the office.
    I chatted with Lokesh, who determined this was a technical issue, and I was forwarded to Anshul.
    Anshul's assessment is as follows:
    Anshul: I see the error, Sarah it seems there are some Domain traces left with the system , I tried to clear then out and I am getting errors as well. In this case , we might need to escalate the case to higher level to have deeper investigation related to this issue.
    Anshul: Sarah, the issue is the domain not the site. It seems like there are some traces related this domain in the backend. This issue is more of related to BC and not Muse. I will have this issue escalated and checked with the team and request them to run internal queries to clear the traces and then you should be able to add the domain.

    Soon after I received the following message from Matt Baracz:
    Matt Baracz (Adobe Business Catalyst Support)
    Sep 06 10:50 (EEST)
    Thank you for contacting us.
    I have escalated this issue to our engineering team and have requested them to clear any references to the domain argponline.com from our database. Once cleared, you will then be able to re-add the domain successfully to your site.
    As soon as I receive a response from engineering confirming that this has been actioned, I will let you know directly via this support ticket.
    Regards,
    Matt.
    Around 3 or 4pm, I had not heard anything back, so I attempted to Add a New Domain through the Admin Console for (F). (Turns out Matt works in Australia, and was unable to alert me due to the time zone difference. Understandable!)
    This was done successfully, so the website began to work again, but the email was still down.
    5
    I began a chat again, this time with Srividya. I was transferred to technical support and began conversation with Sanjit. The length of our conversation was probably around 3 hours, and I am so grateful for the time he put in. What a great guy.
    He stated that he had gone through the case details and that Engineering had fixed the issue. We spent some time coordinating the Site Domain information through the Admin Console for (F). Ultimately, email is still not working (settings were probably updated around 5pm), but I understand sometimes it takes a while. Just wanted to note, the last time I updated the email settings it worked within a couple minutes. Varying lengths of time are expected, but I am still curious what effects those variations. Regardless.
    6
    The current situation is this:
    My boss is a bit steamed that our website was down for a day and a half, and that our email is down for a relatively indeterminate amount of time. It's bad for business, and ultimately, I am responsible for these disruptions. I am incredibly concerned that the next time I update our website there will be a slew of problems, which have the potential to knock down service for the website and email again. I am desperate for a surefire way to simply and fluidly update our Adobe Muse website to Adobe Business Catalyst without making the same mistakes again.
    I don't believe I did this the right way. I looked at FAQs, Community Forums, goDaddy Support and anything I could lay my eyes on to try to do things properly, but managed to make a few well-intentioned blunders. I continued to try undo the damage I've done in the past couple days, and with utter frustration, have not been able to fix them on my own. The people who have helped me thus far have done an amazing job, but ultimately, I am happier when I am not taking up their time, or panicking here.
    When I first launched the website a few months ago, there was a step-by-step process that took me through every single action with screenshots included when appropriate. It was exponentially helpful. I was so lost without it this time around, and I was wondering if I could access it again in the future if needed.
    The following is a blurb from my conversation with Sanjit tonight:
    Sanjit: You have purchased Muse subscription , correct ?
    Sanjit: or Creative cloud >
    Sarah Rushing: Yes, we purchased Muse for 1-year, as well as Business Catalyst for 1-year
    Sanjit: Perfect
    Sanjit: With Muse you get 1 free site , so once you create a site and then publish to BC. In admin console you launch the site, that makes your free count used. Now if you create another site, then system asks you to upgrade the site to a paid site plan. ut when you delete the previous site then the free count becomes free and can be used for any other site
    Sarah Rushing: Yes, that is what I did. Is this what I need to do each time? Because I am concerned that the email and website will be disrupted every time I need to make slight adjustments to the website?
    Sanjit: No, you dont need to do that everytime. If the site is scrambled everytime you publish then please report to us. Thats not the ideal way for solution.
    Sarah Rushing: Well Sanjit, I can tell you right now, that is how it has been functioning since we bought the program. I am not entirely certain, but I believe we bought Muse and BC in January.
    Sarah Rushing: I can absolutely guarantee you that the site will inevitably scramble. Am I the only customer you have heard of to have this issue?
    Sanjit: Yes, i have not seen any other reports for this issue
    Sanjit: Well this needs a deep investigation
    Zak, anything that you could offer for clarity of process, would be incredible. I don't know if you will have time to look at this before Monday, but I can tell you I will be available at a moment's notice to fix this issue and to learn anything about Muse and Business Catalyst that you have to offer. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
    Sincerely,
    Sarah Rushing
    I'm concerned that no one will really read this because it is so detailed and boring and comprehensive, but it is absolutely critical that I find a proper solution before the next update to the website. Thank you so so much to anyone who can possibly provide some insight into this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Sarah Rushing

    In case anyone is experiencing the same issue, I am trying this today.
    Sachin: Okay Sarah, so is it everytime you try to republish the website, it gets scrambled?
    Sarah: Yes, that is correct. And the solution thus far was to publish to an entirely new site, meaning delete the existing one on Business Catalyst and transfer the domain information.
    Sarah: The last time I did that I experience a slew of issues that resulted in no website and email for 4 or more days. My boss was very angry.
    Sachin: Sarah, can you publish your site as a new trial site once.
    Sachin: And provide me the URL.
    Sachin: Then republish on the same trial site and let me check the results.
    Sarah: If I updated the published site within the period of a day, it will be fine. It is when I update the next day or later than that, then the website appears scrambled. So I can create a trial site for you, but it will behave normally for now.
    Sachin: Sarah, while republishing the site, did you select "Only modified file" or "All files" while publishing?
    Sarah: I tried everything.
    Sarah: I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013. The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D). The domain name was argponline.com . (D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago. When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled. I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop. I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
    Sachin: Okay. there is one  more thing I would like you to try.
    Sachin: Publish a site as a trial site.
    Sachin: Then wait till tomorrow.
    Sachin: After that login to the admin panel of the site.
    Sarah: Okay
    Sachin: There go to Site Manager>File manager
    Sachin: There will be a file there named Muse_manifest.xml
    Sachin: Delete that file and then republish the  site from Muse.
    Sarah: So in the Adobe Admin Console, underneath Site Manager, I see Web Forms and System E-mails. No file manager?
    Sachin: Please hover the muse on your name at top right corner and click  on My details.
    Sarah: Okay, yes.
    Sachin: Now scroll down  and check the option that says Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)
    Sachin: And  then click  on save.
    Sarah: What does this do, and why does it say it is incompatible with Muse?
    Sachin: It will help you see  other options in BC.
    Sarah: Okay, thank you.
    Sarah: I see the File Manager now
    Sachin: Okay.
    Sachin: Now select the file named Muse_manifest.xml
    Sachin: And use the delete button on the right side.
    Sachin: but do it tomorrow
    Sachin: With a trial site
    Sachin: Not with  the live site.
    Sarah: Okay, could you please explain to me what deleting that particular file is supposed to do? I am just very interested in how this works.
    Sachin: This file contains the information about your last upload.
    Sachin: Deleting it will make sure that "ALL" the files are uploaded again from Muse.
    Sarah: Okay, so:
    Sarah: I will publish a trial site.
    Sarah: Wait until tomorrow.
    Sarah: Publish again. If I have an issue, I can log-in to the admin console for this particular trial site and go to Site Manager --> File Manager, and delete muse_manifest.xml.
    Sachin: I will create a case for you and you can respond to the case.
    Sachin: Correct.
    Sarah: After that, I will try publishing again and see if it resolves the issue.
    Sarah: That would be great, thank you Sachin.
    Sachin: Thank you for contacting us. Have a Good Day!

  • DW CS5 "Get" bug in expanded site files view

    Hi,
    I just installed the CS5 Design Premium trial and have been playing with Dreamweaver. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the following issue...
    When in expanded site files view (showing both local and remote), selecting a file on the REMOTE site and trying to "Get" the file does not download the remote file. It instead tries to retrieve the remote copy of the file(s) selected in the LOCAL file list pane.
    If no file is selected on the local file list, pressing "Get" after selecting a REMOTE file from the list brings up the "Are you sure you wish to get the entire site" dialog.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open expanded site files view (local and remote)
    2. Click on a file in the remote file list. For testing purposes, click on a file in the LOCAL list first, then select a remote file
    3. Click the Get button or right click on the remote file and choose Get.
    DW should download the selected REMOTE file if that was the last selected file prior to executing the Get command. (this is the action that DW CS3/CS4 does)
    I have submitted this bug in the official Adobe bug reporting system, but I'm curious as to whether others can reproduce this bug.
    Thanks

    @Murray, I think I have discovered exactly where the bug lies and how you may be able to reproduce it yourself...
    @quantumlight - do you happen to have your Site Files panel UNDOCKED and in its own floating panel??
    I work with Dreamweaver on a dual/multi monitor setup. I have my split design/code view on one screen, and the site files and code inspector on a DETACHED Files panel on the 2nd monitor.
    I did a full DW prefences reset and everything went back to the factory setting, with the Files panel docked to the right hand side of the DW program window. With it docked, I opened the expanded/split site files view and IT WORKED NORMALLY as is expected.
    However, as soon as I UNDOCKED the Files panel into its own floating panel and expanded the file view, the bug appeared and selecting a REMOTE FILE and pressing Get, asked to either download a copy of the selected LOCAL file, or if no local file is selected it asks "Are you sure you want to get the entire site"
    Redocking the Files panel back to its original position makes the bug disappear.
    I have tested this on two Windows 7 machines and one Mac Snow Leopard machine, both with the CS5 11.0.2 updates installed.
    It seems it's a Windows version only bug as both Win7 machines produced the bug, with the Mac machine NOT presenting the bug in either docked or floating panel state.
    Hopefully the Adobe DW guys see this soon and can work on fixing this bug in the next update.
    Do you think i should re-submit my previous bug report with this updated discovery?

  • FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

    On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing. 
    Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free  Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
    Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.
