Dreamweaver FTP questions

Hello Everyone,
I've been using Dreamweaver since version 3 (back in the Macromedia days) but I'm by no means a Dreamweaver Guru. I recently set up my first VPS and noticed a problem with the FTP section of DW. When I try to transfer a file using the "get" or "put" buttons DW tries to move the "entire" site, not just the selected files. BUT if I try to open a file from the "remote" server, DW only moves the individual file. Is there a setting I'm missing in DW or does anyone out there know why this is happening?
I'm using DW CS5 on a Windows 7 computer.
Thanks for all of your help,
Todd

Do you have it set to enable file check in/check out? This would be under the Advanced tab in Remote Info. Also do you have the "Automatically upload files to server on save" checked?
I do not get the behavior you describe when I just have "Maintain synchronization information" checked and nothing else checked in that section.

How to login and download content using the Dreamweaver FTP

Hi ya,
I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver, and currently working my way through tutorials.
I have be given details for my company website and told to login via the Dreamweaver FTP and download all the files for Dreamweaver from there.
The details I have been given are:
IP Address
User Name
Password
I have been looking in Dreamweaver as to where to type in this info. (Guessing its somewhere in the 'Manage Sites' tab), but can't seem to find the correct place to login.
All the tutorials I find seem to be about how to upload through the FTP not download.
How do I go about using the FTP details given to download the Dreamweaver content to manage my website?
Thanks

I'm suddenly having problems uploading my site with Dreamweaver FTP?

I've been using CS6 for a couple of years and suddenly I'm having trouble uploading my site using Dreamweaver FTP?

Maybe your host did something on the remote server side. Have you contacted them?
Do you have enough available server space?
Can you upload files with a 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla?

Subject: FTP question; very basic
John Vitollo had this to say:
Do you have a website and/or do you own your own domain name... such as
http://forums.adobe.com/people/nancy7147.com? You'll need a website hosting
company to serve your website to the world.
Depends on your ISP. I'm a Comcast cable customer; they allow me to have
a personal website. I could use that space to do it.
In my case, I have a Flickr pro account. When it expires, I will
probably move to Zenfolio, as I like their presentation much better. I
can't use LR slideshows with Flickr or Zenfolio, but that's not a
deslbreaker for me.

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
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server.
Hans-G.
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.

CS3 Dreamweaver FTP errors

connection: CS3 Dreamweaver>MacPro(10.4.10)>Airport
Extreme>SBCmodem>Yahoo Web hosting
Since upgrading to intel mac w/ CS3, I am constantly getting
FTP errors. All client accounts are set to passive. Usually it
takes 2 or 3 attempts to connect to server. On one client account
that is set up for Contribute, I get error messages at the end of
an 11.9MB podcast upload saying the file was skipped–so I end
up using fetch to upload the file.
Most of the accounts are legacy and never had a problem
ftp'ing to server w/ G4 rig.

Here is the message I get when my upload completes. The
status bar goes to 100% so it appears that the upload is complete,
but not to be.
Started: 11/5/07 8:22 AM
Operation timed out. Cancelling...
podcasts:broadcast162.mp3 - error occurred
Connected to ...
podcasts:broadcast162.mp3 - skipped
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not
completed.
Files skipped: 1
Files with errors: 1
podcasts:broadcast162.mp3
Finished: 11/5/07 8:30 AM
If I then look at the remote directory, I see the following
file: "broadcast162.mp3.new" and the file size is correct, 11.9MB.
So then I resort to using Fetch to upload. Adobe, please fix

Using Dreamweaver ftp for file upload to host question

My local site is set up with links relative to the root document.
The local root folder is defined as J:\xampp\htdocs\rootfilename\
I have not put anything in the field HTTP Address so it just shows http://
Once I have defined my remote site in the Dreamweaver setup I still have concerns regarding how dreamweaver will treat some of the links in my localhost testing environment, I have changed some of the relative links to fully qualified paths such as :
http://localhost/rootfilename/filename.php
So my question is when i do the file transfer how does dreamweaver treat these full links, will it change localhost to the new host name, and the root directory name to the root directory name automatically for me (obviously after i have defined them in the remote site setup)?
And what about my file path names such as my includes files which I have had to make a full path for example:
include_once ("J:/xampp/htdocs/rootfilename/includes/filename.inc.php");
Will Dreamweaver remove the J:/xampp stuff and give it the correct fully qualified path?
Thank you in advance for your help, I just want to make sure everything is set up right before I start the transfer.

No DW will not update absolute paths in your code. Absolute paths will remain exactly how you've typed them on upload.

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.

Dreamweaver FTP accounts backup/restore question

I have Mac OS X, Intel Mac Pro. Prior to that I had a Dual G5
machine... I backed up the entire hard drive. I want to just do a
fresh install of my apps, but I want to know how to import all my
FTP accounts (there are 20+)... Is there a way to just import them
from a specific location?
OH just to let you know, I have Dreamweaver CS3... if that's
critical to know...

To get the files, just copy them into the same location on
your hard drive.
That should happen when you restore.
Can you still get at the Dual G5 machine? If so, EXPORT the
site
definitions from it, copy them to the new box, and IMPORT
them (using DW's
Site Manager).

Dreamweaver FTP?

Hello,
I am new to your Creative Cloud, so I'm just beginning to discover some of the ways things work with it.
My first question is about FTP in Dreamweaver: it seems to have a cumbersome "one or all" synch model. I
rarely ever wish to update ALL the files (or children) on a site. Usually just two or three select files
need to be transferred from the local production directory to the web server.
Does CC have an FTP utility something like WS_FTP, where individual files can be selected from a local
directory display and uploaded to the specified directory on the remote server?
Secondly, I have local services installed for PHP and MySQL: I'd love to integrate these with
Dreamweaver, but your instruction set is confusing at best. Can you give me a link to a clear,
staightforward howto?
It sounds like it can be done... if it can it is really a remarkable feature of CC.

Just for clarification, this is essentially a user to user forum. Actual Adobe reps do exist here, but are not on often. Most of the folks here are just software users like yourself.
Use the Synchronize command, rather than Put. Once the site has been Synchronized, the next time you make an edit and hit the Synchronize command, only the files that have been changed since the last sync will be uploaded.
The info you are looking for on running php and mysql locally can be found by searching for "setting up a testing server in Dreamweaver" there are tons of sites that have the instructions on how to do it. It's been part of DW for a long time.

Dreamweaver FTP Capabilities

Hi,
My problem is I work with several websites for the company
and I have to upload them on 2 servers (QA and live). These 2
servers have different ftp host, username and password to acces
them.
Is it possible with Dreamweaver to have several server
definitions with one site (like with GoLive)? So I could choose
which one I want to upload my site on ! It’s annoying to
always have to fill the field one time and erase it and re-fill it
later …
Thanks !
(I'm sorry if someone post this question before, but the
search function is bugged ...)

Have 2 site definitions for each site with different remote
info for each
version. Give each a name reflecting the server used.

Dreamweaver FTP LogIn Info

Where does Dreamweaver CS5 store FTP log in info for defined sites? I erased by hard drive and reinstalled my operating system, and worked with a senior Apple tech to restore my settings and programs from a Time Machine back up. Dreamweaver is there and working fine, but the site definitions are missing the log-in and passwords to connect via ftp. Where is that info stored? Is there a preferences file somewhere?

Jh100 as Mylenium suggested can you please post your question regarding features of Dreamweaver to the Dreamweaver forum?

FTP question for newbie -- How to access external volume?

I have set up an old Mac (running Tiger) as a server on my LAN; attached to this Mac are several Firewire disks. I want to use FTP (with retrospect Express) to automatically back up from another computer to these disks.
I can successfuly mount these Firewire disks using AFP on the other computer. But when I use FTP, I seem only to access the user account I use to log in. How do I get FTP to go those Firewire disks to transfer the backup files?
Please forgive me if this is a naive question... Thanks in advance for any advice!

To configure the FTP server in Tiger requires creating and editing certain files using the terminal application. So if you have no prior UNIX or command line experience you may find this tricky and you would need to read the man file for ftpd.
So I would suggest you try out PureFTP manager which is a front end application for an alternative FTP server.
I have used this Application and found it quite straightforward to use.

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!

Linking to a specific section of a page [was: Dreamweaver noob question]

Hello everyone, I am rather new to dreamweaver and am required to use it at work to update the company website. Long story short we have a list of databases. In this list of databases there are several subsections, for instance. Automotive,Government, Health, School, etc. They are all on the same page so essentially it is a long list. After updating the databases the link now brings you to the top of the page, regardless of what you click on.
So my question is, how do you make a link take you to a certain scroll section, say 25% down the page, 50%, etc ,etc.
Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this post and shed some light on my situation.

Hi,
in addition to our hints, here an example from one of my websites, please look here:
