DW8 fails to get dependent files

Question

In DW8, I've created a new site which is failing to Get
dependent files. Even though I click Yes in the Get dependent
files? dialog box, DW downloads only the single selected file, not
the dozens of images, stylesheets and SSIs included on the page.
Previously created sites don't have this problem, even though I'm
performing the Get on the same index.html file, both old and new
sites use the same remote FTP server and login, and both also map
their local root folder to folders on the same network share drive.
(The new, problematic site maps one folder closer to the root on
the remote server, because it needs to include FTP access to the
cgi-bin, though that's not where the dependent-files error is
occurring.)
I originally encountered the problem on DW8/WinXPPro, but
I've created the same site on DW8/Mac OSX 10.4.11, and encountered
the same problem, so it wouldn't appear to be a corrupt
installation. Are there limits to how close to the server root a
site can map without causing errors? (Old site's remote host
directory is www/htdocs/ while the new site's host directory is
simply www/ )

Answer 1

Try this. In Site Manager, EXPORT this site definition. Then
REMOVE this
site from Site Manager. Then IMPORT the site definition you
just exported.
Better?
