DW MX Site Definitions for Verizon FIOS? Mac

Question

Hello, Everyone,
First time poster, longtime user/dabbler. All help is greatly
appreciated.
I'm using DreamWeaver MX for Mac and trying to do a site
definition for Verizon FIOS. The instructions on their web site do
not work, are sketchy at best anyway, and Verizon's tech people
don't give tech support on this in general and don't know the
answers so far!
Does anyone know what to put in the fields for an ftp
connection in site definition? Really - is anyone successfully
using DreamWeaver with Verizon fiber optic?

Answer 1

Send me your connection info offlist, please -
