Dreamweaver FTP connection settings (CS5)

I am wondering if anyone can help me with my issue I am having. I am running a big website and have been using Dreamweaver CS4 in the past and that worked like a charm so I decided to upgrade to CS5 and some things got weird. When entering in my servers I enter in all of my settings that I had on my past version using ftp then my domain and port 21. I enter in the correct username and password but when it tries to connect it says it fails.
Any suggestions??
Am I supposed to use sftp now??

Without knowing your FTP login credentials (Don't give them out here of course) it's hard to say. It's more likely a user error.
The best thing to do is login to your hosting provider's control panel and look for your FTP login and campare the info.
The obvious woud be
User error - missing something when typing in crendtials ex: server, path or no path to dir example htdocs/html/
password/user login
Server down try again
Internet connection down try again

Adobe Dreamweaver FTP connection doesn't work with german "Umlaut" like "ö" in the severadress

Hi
Today I tried to establish a FTP connection to the serveradress "ftp.möbelverwandlung.com", but I get the error message that the program couldn't connect to the host. As Dreamweaver works perfectly with other serveradresses and I managed to establish a connection to "ftp.möbelverwandlung.com" with other programs, I think that the problem is the german "Umlaut" "ö". Did anyone recognize the same problem and does someone know a solution?
Thank you very much for your help

Here is the English translation of your previous post -
Hello Maximilian,
I got a even looked at my provider. Usually there must pay the original domain for the agreed period and agree a new. However, they show a accommodating for so short "duration" of a few hours like you. Try to contact your ISP phone support.

Anyhow, I think you have covered the options!

How to retrieve FTP connection settings for live website? [was: Dreamweaver MX question]

We have a website that is live (and hasn't been edited in 5 years), but we cannot update it because the company no longer owns the computer which had Dreamwewaver MX installed on it and thus all the settings are lost. I downloaded Dreamweaver MX on another computer and have all of the files for the site, but don't know how to "reconnect" this to the live site. Can someone please advise?

Once you have all your FTP info, you'll create a new, blank site in DW.
Once that is created, you connect via the Files window (little plug in icon) and choose Get (down arrow). That should prompt you with "Download entire site?" to which you should click "Yes".
That will download the entire current site from your server to your computer's HD. From there, you will simply edit the pages locally, test them in the browsers installed using Preview In Browser, and then upload to the website, overwriting the online files.
DW cannot edit files on your server directly, it's designed to work locally, then upload and overwrite files on the server.

FTP Connection Issues Dreamweaver CS5.5

I can't ftp into the top level directory of any of my hosting accounts with dreamweaver cs5.5
This is becoming a major issue and I'm aware now of other users with the same issue.
First log in to an ftp server works fine - the test case directory is created and deleted - and I think it is this which is causing some odd permissions issue.
Second time you try to log in, the connection is made, but then any directory listing times out. However if I define a directory such as /public_html/images/ then it will connect and display directory listings just fine. Clicking "Test" in the server definition dialog results in an OK message.
If i FTP in using a different FTP Client (in this case Transmit) and upload a single file, the issue goes away, and dreamweaver can again connect - one time only, until I perform this odd "reset".
This happens on all FTP connections across multiple hosting companies (all of the hosting companies my clients sites are stored at).
FTP log is below:
< 257 "/www"
< 220 Welcome to Proweb Server FTP service (JubJub).
> USER winfo
< 331 Please specify the password.
> PASS
< 230 Login successful.
> PWD
< 257 "/"
> CWD /
< 250 Directory successfully changed.
> CWD /www
< 250 Directory successfully changed.
> PWD
< 257 "/www"
Then it waits for a while before giving me the following error message (I've extended timeout to anything up to a couple of minutes, no difference):
Toggling the "USE Passive FTP" checkbox may help you establish a connection. -Select or de-select the checkbox and click Test to tray again.
-if you are connecting using an IPv6 enabled server, please select the "USE IPv6 transfer mode" checkbox in the Advanced site definition dialog.
If the problem persists, check you network settings, including the local firewall settings on your computer, or consult your network administrator.
I have tried PASV checked and unchecked, performance optimisation, and every other combination available to me. I am not connecting through a proxy.
The settings on ALL of my sites worked before the cs5.5 upgrade. The settings on NONE of my sites with a root directory specified work since the upgrade. The only thing that has changed is the move to dreamweaver cs5.5. I can connect with other ftp clients. my ftp server settings are correct. My server and network settings are unchanged. The settings on ALL my sites on other FTP clients continue to work fine.
Am on an i7 2.8GHz Intel iMac running 10.6.7 with 8 gigs of RAM. I have quit all software except dreamweaver and tried running my mac firewall both on and off.
Really running out of ideas, and know of other people with the same issue since the upgrade - what's going on Adobe?!

Same for me, in that I had an unreliable and effectively unusable FTP connection with CS5.5 . I've reverted to CS5, because even though I'll miss a couple of the new features I need to have a working connection to the site when working with PHP - because otherwise I can't see my site at all other than via Firefox. I also suspect that at least a couple of times I've had some sort of corruption occur as a result of the FTP hanging. All was okay before CS5.5, and I may have slagged off a different hosting provider than my present one when it was in fact (at least in part) a DW issue. If it isn't fixed in CS6 then CS6 is unusable for me and I'd definitely be happier with 'unenhanced' CS5 FTP functionality. The theoretical performance gains with the CS5.5 implementation are trivial by comparison with the problems. If all else fails, please revert to CS5 code for the FTP side of things.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is now fixed for me. The problem was that I did not have a proper web url entered in my site definition for the remote server. I'm not sure how that was placing any limitation on FTP access - after all, the need for a full site definition was removed a couple of software issues ago - but the fact is that with the correct web address entered I have working FTP on CS6 (and seemingly on CS5.5 too). I had a simple forward slash entered for the web address, probably as a result of some earlier investigation of the local server/remote server relationships for file upload on a PHP site. I was running CS5 with the correct Web Url entered, so that was working and the CS5.5, without the correct Web Url, was not. I vaguely remember reading that the Web Url was connected with DWs management of absolute/relative links and not much else, but it seems that is not the case. The new FTP is MUCH faster and I'm a happy guy. Site menu>>>Manage sites>>>[select your site]>>>Edit>>>Servers>>>[2-click your server]>>>Web URL: Put in the full URL e.g. http://www.somesite.com . Not sure if you need a trailing / after, but I have one.
UPDATING AGAIN: Through all of that I had turned on the 'IPv6 protocol' and 'Passive FTP' options in an attempt to get working. The result of that was FTP that worked well once transferring files but often took a while to hook up. Deselecting those, and using CS6, I'm happy with my FTP.

FTP Connection Issue in Dreamweaver CS4

I just reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and of course had to reinstall Design Premium CS4. Up until now Dreamweaver CS4 (Version 10.0 Build 4117) has connected to ftp flawlessly, however ever since I reinstalled I have been receiving the "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found" error message.
What I have tried so far:
I have double checked that my login information is correct
I have successfully logged in to the ftp server using another ftp client and through a browser
Through Dreamweaver I have tried using passive FTP, secure FTP, firewall and none of those settings make a difference.
I receive the error message whether I click "test" or try to connect through the files panel .
I have checked my firewall settings and Dreamweaver is an allowed program.
I don't have access to another ftp server to check if would work in that situation.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Dreamweaver and the entire suite.
Is there anything else that I need to do?
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is a maddening issue that's getting press in various forums, here and on Adobe's site, and all sorts of third party blogs, etc. I spent days wrestling with this with no luck, because in CS3, which I"ve been using for years under OS X, Extension Manager is broken (under Mountain Lion, at least). Installed CS4, CS5—nothing worked. The ""can't connect" error message appears instantly, suggesting that DW wasn't even trying to make the FTP connection, which led me to suspect Little Snitch or some other firewall issue, but this wasn't the case. I isolated login items, repaired permissions, booted in Safe Mode—all with no luck. Finally, I tried opening DW from a different user login and FTP connected. This, at least in my case, pointed to something in the user folder. I narrowed it down to the User/Library folder. Creating a new user and copying the Library folder over copied over the problem, as expected. New user was deleted, and I wen tinto the troublemaking User/Library folder to see what I could see. There were old files and folders there from previous installs, including CS3—speciifically in the User/Library/Application Support folder and, of course, in User/Library/Preferences. After deleting thiese, I found no further problems connecting via FTP in DW CS4. I presume that CS5 also would connect now, but I'm not keen to put it to the test. Under CS4, Extension Manager works fine, which is what I was looking to accomplish in upgrading from CS3. Moral of the story: Adobe CS installations do not like legacy files and folder either in User/Library/Application Support or User/Library/Preferences. Deleting these may work for you, too—at least it's another string to the troubleshooting bow, and this one can be a real bear. Good luck to all who have run into this.

Ftp connection and Dreamweaver

Hi everyone,
I was all day long reading the posts in this forum and Adobe's about ftp connection issues with Dreamweaver. Hope somebody else has a new idea or experience to help me.
I have been working and updating 3 websites (different servers) with Dreamweaver 8 with no problem until yesterday. I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings of my firewall or dreamweaver. But since yesterday I couldn't connect to just ONE of my websites. I always get the message: "Dreamweaver could not connect to the server. User canceled. Operation time out".
It's odd because when I "test" the connection on "remote settings" it does work. But when I try to only upload any file it doesn't.
So, I report to the server and it was not a problem with them. I tried to connect by ftp in Firefox and worked. So I realize it could be something with my ftp connection.
I tried to turn off my firewall, but still not working.
I tried to test the TCP/IP port 21 (and it is open).
I tried to delete the site definitions from Dreamweaver and re-create again, but no luck.
I just didn't re-install Dreamweaver because I'm afraid to lose the connection with my other 2 sites.
Does anybody have any tip, or link with similar issue that I can get some turn around???
Please any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

MacBookPro2,2 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

But I don't understand why I get ftp connection with
2 websites and just one is not working??? should this
be happening if it was a "port" problem???
I can help clarify this. With FTP, there are TWO connections. The first is the control connection, and that occurs on port 21. This is where the authentication takes place, and where commands are passed from cliet to server.
The second connection is the data connection. This is where the transfer of data takes place (including a directory listing). There are two basic ways of establishing this connection, active and passive. In an active connection the server attempts to open a socket from port 20 to a random port on the client. This is the connection which is blocked by firewalls.
In passive mode, the server sends back a port number that it (or rather a child) is listening on. The client connects to the server on that port, and receives data. The problem is, that while this is happening, the control connection is idle. This may cause the control connection (and thus the entire protocol) to time out.
So there are quite a few things that can go wrong. If your server only supports active mode and you have a firewall which blocks its incoming connection, eventually the control connection will time out. If your server is load-balancing, or your router tries to recylcle ide connections, the control connection may be shut down. I don't know what's happening in your case, but I can tell you what may be happening with your ports. HTH.

Dreamweaver CS4 Search & Replace / FTP connectivity / ctrl + B, ctrl + c

Hi all,
CS4 Search and Replace / FTP connectivity ISSUES:
I use Search and replace tools for some large replace operations on live websites.. However when searching and replacing.. Dreamweaver is constantly having to establish a connection between the server for each file I search and replace in.
Programs like Pspad have this down to a T. Any chance we can have an update to make the search and replace is faster. It's utterly useless at the moment.
Biggest problem is if the connection to the server fails whilst searching and replacing text in a document.. The file gets removed from the server.. I have lost now 3 website pages because of this. I edit files live because they are within a test environment.. I don't like working locally because I know programs like Pspad are capable of being extremely fast at editing live.
Because of this issue, I have had to stop using dreamweaver CS4 for now..
ctrl + B, ctrl + C ISSUES
When pressing ctrl + b to add strong tags to text.. Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to goto the keyboard tag editor.. close it again.. Then it works again. So there's a bug there.
And sometimes ctrl + c copies as if it does (ctrl + a, ctrl + c) ... And it stops once again when I goto keyboard tags and close it again..
Explain that hehe!
All the best and thanks in advance.

Dreamweaver FTP still doesn't work

So I've been trying to get FTP to work in (Mac) Dreamweaver
-- and I've tried every version since MX 2004. But they all fail.
This problem has been posted in this forum (and many others) in the
past. Whenever you try to connect/test an FTP server, you
immediately get this exact error:
"An FTP error occurred -- cannot make connection to host."
This error happens instantly. There is nothing to see in the
FTP log. It is not related to any FTP timeouts, firewall settings,
etc. I have stayed at Dreamweaver MX 2004 because it's FTP works
(and continues to work). Every version of Dreamweaver I've tried
since then, CS, CS 2, CS 3, etc. all give this same error. I've
tried deleting ssh_hosts. I've deleted keychains. I've tried
reinstalling. I've deleted preferences. Rebuild site caches. I've
tried different servers, hosts, etc. FTP (with and without all the
Passive, etc. options, SFTP, etc. I've tested FTP/SFTP in other
programs, in the Terminal etc. I've turned off Firewalls, removed
routers, etc. What am I missing?
Why is Dreamweaver MX 2004 the last version able to perform
FTP operations on our Mac?

Thanks. For what it's worth, I cannot connect to that gov
site in CS4
either. I'm checking to see if there's any info available for
this
problem....

Erratic ftp connection

no matter what computer i'm on, what IP address or web server
i'm connecting from/to, i get this problem. it's been going on for
a couple years and i have been just living with it, but now i'm fed
up. i also run into this problem on multiple installs - different
discs with different registration info.
i set up my local and remote FTP sites. click "test" and get
a message like "dreamweaver successfully connected to your
website." but then when i close the site manager window and try to
connect to the FTP it keeps getting a "timeout" error. i will close
the error window and hit the connection icon again. and again. and
again. usually after 10-20 tries it will actually connect, but the
connection is spotty and will frequently drop me or "time out" when
i do something as simple as try to expand a folder.
i have tried multiple things, including toggling passive ftp
(usually results in not being able to make a test connection to the
server), and increasing the timeout limit. the only thing this
accomplishes is increasing the time i have to wait in order for it
to tell me it can't connect.
what i cant understand is why, when i hit "test connection"
does it connect within nanoseconds, but when i actually try to
load, expand or copy these folders, it times out.
no other ftp program has this issue. cuteFTP and FireFTP work
(with the same settings) without hassle. i'm about ready to fire
dreamweaver altogether.

> is anyone from Adobe listening?
Unlikely. This is a free user-to-user forum.
However, try the various suggestions in this KB technote
(even thought it
says CS3):
Troubleshoot FTP issues in Dreamweaver CS4
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405912
Go through each one systematically.

Ftp connection on Mac

Hi everyone,
I've gone through many forum postings but none seem to be
quite like this problem.
Can anyone help, please?
I have been working and updating 3 websites (different

pretty sure I didn't change any settings of my firewall or
dreamweaver. But since yesterday I couldn't connect to just ONE of

connect to the server. User canceled. Operation time out".
It's odd because when I "test" the connection on "remote
settings" it does work. But when I try to only upload any file it
doesn't.
The "passive FTP" was always checked when was working. I
tried to unchecked and didn't work too.
So, I reported to the server and it was not a problem with
them. I tried to connect by ftp in Firefox and worked. So I realize
it could be something with my ftp connection.
I tried to turn off my firewall, but still not working.

Viv,
For what its worth - I'd recommend a third party ftp client,
something along
the lines of Panic, or otherwise.
DW's ftp is a pretty regular topic of conversation round
these parts.

Connection problem - no ftp connection

It is hard to use Dreamweaver, when the FTP connection seems to have been erased. Has anyone experienced this?

Hello,
many of the people here use the DW integrated FTP function.
There this should work: Site->Manage Sites. Select your site and click Edit. Use wizard on the "How do you connect to your remote server?" question to select FTP. Insert your FTP login information and test the connection. Now you should be able to upload your site. > Look to your files panel. Use Up arrow to upload files to your server. You naturally need all the data here to access the server.
In addition, I'll quote a hint from Nancy O.:
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.
Some here have difficulties, so perhaps it is worth to go a different way. 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!

P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

Cannot make stable FTP connection - An FTP error occurred

Having problems with Dreamweaver FTP, any suggestions appreciated. Using CS6 on Windows 8.1 via Virgin Media Super Hub.
Dreamweaver successfully connects to FTP server and PUT's maybe 5 to 10 jpg files then stops with this error: (uploading immediately after PUTS a few more up then stops with the error again):
Error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put xxx.jpg.
Dreamweaver cannot connect to host. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
- The network cable is unplugged or the network is down. Please verify that the network cable is connected and that the network is up.
- The FTP server is down. Please verify that you can connect to the FTP server using another FTP program.
- The FTP host name is incorrect. Please verify that the host name is correct in the Site definition dialog box.
- Accessing the server requires proxy settings that aren't properly set. Please verify that the proxy settings in the Site category of the Preferences dialog box are properly set, and that the Use Proxy option in the Site definition dialog box is selected.
- You may need to connect to the server using a different port than the one provided. Please specify the correct port in the box provided.
Have already tried with no effect:
- Temporarily disabling Windows Firewall
- Ticking/unticking passive mode and the other settings in Dreamweaver>site>server
- Switched Virgin Media Hub to Cable modem mode
many thanks.

Edit > Preferences > Site. Try increasing your FTP Time out and disconnect settings.
Does this also happen with a 3rd party FTP Client like Filezilla?

Dreamweaver sudenly stopped connecting to website, fine one day then cannot connect the next. I can connect using CUTEFTP any suggestions what has stopped dreamweaver from connecting?

Dreamweaver suddenly stopped connecting to website, fine one day then cannot connect the next. I can connect using CUTE FTP any suggestions what has stopped Dreamweaver from connecting?

Have you tried clearing DW's program cache yet? That's usually my first step if something "just started happening"...
Deleting a corrupted cache file
Server updates can cause DW to need a setting change. Have you already tried toggling Use Passive FTP in your site settings yet?
Has anything changed on your local network, like an update to a firewall?
If you are connected via wireless router, a low likelihood but possible thing to test would be a wireless router problem. Try connecting the computer directly to your modem, bypassing the wireless router (if you aren't using an all in one modem/router setup) to see if that makes any difference.

Adobe Browserlab - Tells me network connection settings won't allow connection

I can use the Dreamweaver --> File --> Preview In Browser menu to test from so maybe it's no big deal but was just wondering if I was missing something by not having Browser Lab and if I am how do I modify my Mac Network connection settings to get Browserlab to work?
me again -- Dave V.

In this one http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
On Mac OS X
Do the following:
Quit all CS5 applications.
Open the Apple Property List Editor (supplied with the Apple SKD) or other property list editor application..
Open the file [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist.
Select Root to see the subentries.
Locate the string object AdobeOnlineDefault. if the key does not exist, you'll need to create it.
Double-click this string value and set it's Value Data to "0" to disable CS Live access.
Save the com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist file.
Quit the plist editor.
I put that value to 1 instead of 0 and it made everything work. The CS Live button in the Tool bar in all Adobe applications is for access to various online Adobe services, BrowserLab among them. I don't have Property List Editor but used Prefsetter and it worked. I've for a long time had my Adobe applications saying that they are not connected to the internet. But doing this setting today solved it for me. CS Live is not only for groups. I am a one-person operation but the CS Live button is the easiest way to reach those services you want. Provided the application don't says that it is not connected to the internet... The Adobe technote describes how top turn it off, not how to turn it on. And it is only the AdobeOnline Default that needs changing. Nothing else.

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

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.
