Dreamweaver FTP problems and Yosemite [subject edited by moderator]

Question

Dreamweaver (newly) installed won't recognize my server (ftp.jakkoke.com). Have checked firewall (no problem), other ftp programs which work just fine, old version of Dreamweaver - works but not with Mac os 10.10 Yosemite. Set up irs.guv - new Dreamweaver communicates with this and other FTP sites just fine. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice. What am I to do?

Hi jekoke,
Please follow the steps mentioned below:
Quit Dreamweaver if it's running.
Go to Spotlight (magnifying glass icon on the far right hand side of the menu bar) and type "Keychain". Look for the "Keychain Access" application and click to launch it.
In Keychain Access, you should see a list of Keychain items.  Look in the "Name" column for an item named with the Site Name of your affected site. It will look something like this: "SiteName-SiteServer 0". It will also say "application password" in the "Kind" column.
Click the item to select it. You should see some properties of the Keychain item appear at the top of the Keychain Access window. As a double check, ensure that the value shown for "Account" is the FTP username.  If it's not, then you may have the wrong item.
Once you're happy you have the correct item, and it's selected, hit the Delete key to remove it. Leave the application open for now.
Start Dreamweaver, go to the "Manage Sites" dialog box (Site > Manage Sites...), and edit the affected site. Click on the Servers section and double click the server in the list to edit it.
Enter the FTP username and password, then click Save to close the edit server box, and click Save again to close the edit site box.
You should now see that a new Keychain item has been created in Keychain Access (it should have the same name).
You can quit Keychain Access and Dreamweaver now, then restart Dreamweaver and check if it works now without having to re-enter the FTP details.
Please let us know if you still face any issues.
