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 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.

Recovering Dreamweaver 3 preference and site info, ultimately migrating to cs5.5 on Windows XP

I had a hard drive failure in windows xp and have reinstalled windows xp and dreamweaver 3. I have a backup of all my dreamweaver 3 files from the old machine, for example &sitename.dws, &sitename Changed.txt, &sitename Live.dws, &sitename Changed.txt. I would like to have all my preferences, ftp info, etc. restored but cannot find any documentation on how to do that in Dreamweaver 3.
I tried replacing the following files with the backup versions:
C:\Progam Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver3\Configuration\SiteCache
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver3\Configuration\SourceFormat.txt
as these were the only files I saw that appeared to have been modified by using Dreamweaver on the XP machine before the drive failure.
Is there any Dreamweaver 3 documentation about the names of preferences files, site files, and how to replace the default install files with backed up versions?
All help is sincerely appreciated as I have not been able to figure this out on my own. I considered just replacing all the DW install files with my backup, but that would probably mess up the registry and I can't chance that.
Ultimately I will be moving to CS5.5--if I ever get my backed up information into my newly installed Dreamweaver 3, is there a way to migrate those preferences, site info, etc. to CS5.5?

Murray 'ACP', you are correct--DW3 does not have the option to back up to *.ste files, so I believe that pzciena is correct in stating that site information in DW3 is found in the registry and I can't recover that using files from my drive backup. The reason I asked the question is because I am having trouble when using the FTP "Put" function to FTP files over to my website. The "Put" operation creates a subdirectory to the root file on the host.
The host directory is named "web" and I specify /web in my dreamweaver remote host site definition. The "Put" operation creates a subdirectory using the same name as my local files subdirectory. That is, on the local side, the file I am "put"ting is in subdirectory /hostsave and when it FTPs to the remote side, it creates a directory named "hostsave". I deleted that directory on the remote side and tried FTPing a second time and it created the directory again. This does not happen if I use Ipswitch to FTP the file, but I would prefer using the file transfer within dreamweaver since it checks to make sure I'm ftping all the image files in the .html file I'm PUTting.
I obviously have not re-created something correctly in redefining my site. ????

How to access a remote site in dreamweaver

This might seem like a simple question, but i just downloaded DW as a trial, and want to try it out before buying. Now I've done the remote site set up and tested and it says it can connect to my remote site. But I want to now go to the site, log in, and make some changes to the web site pages which are stored there. None of the stuff is stored on my home PC. It's all at the remote site. So how do I edit it? How do I even log in? DW seems intended to work on files on your home PC, and then publish them to a remote site. My problem is it's all ON the remote site.

Hi Nancy,
No, I'm not getting those selections under the file menu. What I've done is go to server, manage servers, and set up a remote server. When I test it it says "dreamweaver connected to your web server succesfully". So I assume that the remote server, at least, is set up properly. I didn't set up a "local site" however. Perhaps that could be it? But those choices are not on the drop-down box, even grayed out. If I click on "open" the box goes to my PC for choices. On the left side it has" My recent documents, desktop, my documents, my network (which doesn't lead anywhere)

Logging in to remote site, reset safari does not clear the user login info?

I'm logging in to a remote site with a 2 step login. Authentication then citrix. User info is not cleared in the authentication portion when I reset safari. Must be stored somewhere else. Where should I look?

Launch the Keychain Access application and search for the server name.

Dreamweaver cannot upload files larger than 2gb to remote site

I am uploading a set of large video files to a remote site at the University of Connecticut. I have no problem doing this through Cyberduck. I can also upload (put) files to the through Dreamweaver provided that the files are smaller than 2gb. Dreamweaver gives me the following type of error:
WorkArea\VideosUnclipped\100ASL\sara\signs\XX20140703a0789.MOV - error occurred - An HTTP error occurred - cannot put XX20140703a0789.MOV. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files with errors: 1
WorkArea\VideosUnclipped\100ASL\sara\signs\XX20140703a0789.MOV
Finished: 7/16/2014 5:31 PM
Since Cyberduck is successful, but Dreamweaver is not, this looks like a problem with Dreamweaver. I would prefer to use Dreamweaver because i am more comfortable with the interface.
I am using dreamweaver cs6

Hello,
first, my knowledge is, the limit depends all on your hosting. FTP client is just the middleman. Please go into contact with your provider.
On the other hand it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. 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
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

Client Site info on Dreamweaver

Every once in awhile Dreamweaver drops ALL my clients site
info after entering 40 + client sites & I have to re-enter them
all...it's a real pain. Anyone else have this issue? and can it be
fixed.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Dreamweaver does not save site info

I have a problem which started a couple weeks ago... DW CS4 doesn´t save my site info, every time I quit and start DW, my username and password in site info is missing. I uninstalled and installed DW again but no, doesn´t help. Any ideas?

Thank you for your answer. I did that, I also deleted the whole configuration folder but it didn´t help. It is weird... DW remembers some sites info, but not all.
For this particular site, I have used the Incontext editing and that has also caused some problems: A client tried to edit the page and message poped up, The operation could not be performed because there is insufficient disk space or the file write permission is not granted. Next time it said: You cannot edit or duplicate this page, the page does not appear to contain any editable regions. When I went to the page, it said that the page doctype is not valid...
And there is disk space, editable reagions and the page doctype is transitional 4. 01... I don´t know if this has something to do with this site info problem, but I guess that is another issue.
Any more ideas?

Light Room import site info from Dreamweaver.

What is the best way to upload a lightroom gallery? directly to the website or export it to the folder where Dreamweaver stores the site and then Sync?

It's good to use Dreamweaver so you familiarize yourself with FTP and the folder structure of your web space. After then, you're in a better position to use LR's upload, knowing exactly where it's sending the stuff, or being able to look at your web space and see what's gone wrong.
Secondly, exporting to your hard drive allows you to review the gallery in your browser and pick up any errors, typos, wrong pics etc.

File does not exist on remote site, yet it does

I have been trying to understand how Dreamweaver handles remote files in CS5.
My server is setup as a remote server and a test server.
I open the remote file, it offers to get dependencies, so I click yes.
I click on Live view, then it tries to show me the following url
http://my_site.com/public_html/path/to/my/file/file.php
It should not put public_html in the path, and I did not specify this in my site setup. My root setting is /.
Anyway, If I change the url manually, then it shows correctly. Then it offers to discover dunamically linked files, which I agree to.
Now it tells me that 'Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server'
If I try to open one of the files that it has discovered, I am told that it is not on the disk, so would I like to 'get it', so I agree.
Finally, I am told that 'Get operation failed since linked-file.php does not exist on remote site'
I suspect that this is all to do with my site definition, but I fiddled with the settings and can't resolve this. I think that the whole problem goes back to Dreamweaver's insistance on putting public_html in the path, but I can't stop it doing so.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
ian

Hi,
Well, yes I did manage to fix the dynamically linked resources issue. As mentioned above, I did need to mention public_html in my Root Directory setting in server setup (silly of me).
I had tried this at first, but it didn't work, as I had the server set as a test server and not a remote server, anyway, i now have it set as both and all is well.
Except that, the first issue that mentioned is still with me: namely, dreamweaver mentions the public_html in the url path when on live view, which is not correct and I don't know where it is inferring this from. I can change it manually, but this doesn't seem right to me. Am I still missing a setting?
In anwer to the questions:
1) My setting (now) in the Root Directory setting in DW is: /public_html/
2) My actual path on the server (that i mention in php scripts) is: /home/login_name/public_html//path/to/my/file/file.php
[In the advanced settings of DW site setup on the Local Info page I have set Links relative to Document option, although it does not seem to make a difference when I change it to Site Root.]
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

How can I change remote site definition without breaking all of the links?

I've created a website and put it here http://home.comcast.net/~alpsf/index.html to test it during construction. Now when I change the remote site definition on the local site in DW, all of the links are broken. I now suspect the problem is that I made it site root-relative, and DW inserted /~alpsf/ in all of the links. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks very much.

You can do a find and replace to change the links globally. Make sure you do a complete backup of the site prior to doing this incase you don't do it correctly. Let me stress that again, backup your entire site incase you need to restore. If you have created a "new site" and this will not be part of the /~alpsf site, then you will need to define a new site and copy all the files into that folder (I am guessing this is the case). I would copy the files outside of Dreamweaver. You could do this without touching the files in the ~alpsf directory. There are a lot of variable here as I don't know exactly what you are doing.
On the file menu select window/results-select search. (this is done if the search window is not open).
Find in: Entire Current Local Site
Search: Source Code
Find: "/~alpsf/
Replace:"/
That should do it, but this is a very tricky thing. I wouldn't have a problem doing this as long as I have everything backed up.
Jim
Edited:You might have to go into your css, spry files and any others that has links to do the same (this time only select Find in: Current document once the document is open). Once that is done, delete the whole remote site and upload the changes once you check that everything is completed.

DW CS3- Cant Connect To Remote Site

Hi
Ive encountered a very fustrating problem.
The new Dreamweaver refuses to connect to any remote sites.
It imported my site list, with FTP info, user names and
passwords...but when I try to connect, I get a big error message
telling me that my info is wrong, or my settings are wrong, or that
the remote server is unplugged, etc etc.
This happens with every site on my list, and it happens when
I try setting up the site info from scratch.
Using the same info, I can connect using Dreamweaver MX 2004,
so I know the basic info is correct.
Does anyone have a guess what's wrong here? Has there been
some fundamental change to site management Im unaware of?
Any help is much appreciated!

Send me your connection info offlist, and I'll try to get you
going.

Changing remote site definition

I am changing the domain name of my site but keeping my sites
design completely the same. After I buy the new the domain name,
how do I Change the Remote site definition in Dreamweaver 8 to use
a new site's connection info??
Can someone give me the steps?
Thanks so much!!!!!

Question:
Is the hosting changing? or just the domain name?
If just the domain name-
At the domain name Registrar's control panel, set the new
domain name up
with the DNS domain name server of your current hosting.
At your hosting- you'll need to add this new domain name to
their DNS name
servers also. Either through a hosting control panel or
through a
trouble-ticked to their help desk.
There will be no need to make any change to the site
definition in
dreamweaver, unless you change hosting to a different remote
server.

Site info disappears

I am running Dreamweaver 8.0.1 on a PC/XP. Suddenly, DW no
longer maintains the remote info for all of my configured sites. It
retains everything except the login name and password, even though
the save info checkbox is ticked. Once I re-enter the info, DW ftp
works during the current session. If I quit and restart DW, the
login and password are missing again.
This is a really frustrating bug. Does anyone have a
fix?

Which DW? Did you ever back up your site definitions with
Site Manager >
Export?

Size of remote site

This seems like a simple task, but I cannot figure it out...
In Dreamweaver, how can I find out how much storage is being
used on the remote site (or local site, or testing site, for that
matter). Something simple like "Remote Site: 12.26 MB"
This seems like important information that would be readily
available, but it does not appear to be so.

Dreamweaver does not have access to that information. You
would get this
info through the control panel of your servers login.
