FTP Error - cannot make connection to host.

Hello! Have been searching through the forums and have seen
some topics that are similar to the problem I am facing but have
not found one to solve it yet. I connect to mulitple FTP servers
through Dreamweaver to upload and manage sites. As of late I will
will try and connect to make updates and I keep on getting this
error maessage....
An FTP Error occurres - cannot make connection to host.
It has happened on multiple servers from various providers. I
am convinced that it is a Dreamweaver issue or a connection issue
on my system. Any thoughts, help, or ideas to fix the problem would
be greatly appreciated.
I have tried most of the things out there on the boards but
nothing has worked for me. The odd thing is that earlier today I
was uploading through FTP on one of my sites and now that one won't
work. Another site has been giving me hassle for days. Please any
help would be much appreciated! I thank you for any time spent
ahead of time answering this post! Blessings!

Sorry it took so long to paste this in. It took this long for
me to find it! k

Dreamweaver CS3 FTP Error: Cannot make connection to host

I have Windows Vista with a new purchase of Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3 Web Premium. I am a regular Dreamweaver user since version 2.
But this FTP situation still baffles me.
1. I have set up all my FTP parameters as usual and have
tried to use "Passive FTP" and the "Secure FTP" settings, but to no
avail
2. I tried to FTP via explorer and do have access to my
hosting service. The problem lies related to Dreamweaver itself.
3. I tried to check to see if my Windows Firewall would
affect it, but it is included in the firewall exception list.
I checked the other forum listings related to this problem,
and one of them mentions about the 60 second issue. I also checked
my site preferences and it is set to 60.
I don't want to use Cute FTP. I've been using Dreamweaver for
all these years and found it annoying to get another program just
for this. I am hoping to resolve this issue here on the forums so
that other Dreamweaver CS3 users can use FTP to upload their
site.

Ftp error - cannot make connection

Using Dreamweaver CS3 on Microsoft XP. When I try and set up
ftp for our web site in Site Manager, to allow files to be checked
in and out, it does not work. The error message is "An FTP error
occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password
is incorrect." It is possible to create an ftp connection to the
same site in Dreamweaver using the other option in Site Manager,
"Connect to an FTP server without defining a site ". The only
diffrence I can see in the configuration is that the screen for
this option includes the field "URL Prefix". Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I think the thing has got sorted. I tried putting in the
Control panel password, which didn't work, and when I tried it
again with the ftp password it did. No rational explanation. Thank
you.

An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server

"An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server".
As of today this is all i get when trying to connect to every single ftp account i have. It's not the server cause it's every one and there is several different. Tried passive and non-passive same result. I've connected fine with other FTP clients. So this must be another dreamweaver bug. Anyone know what to do?

Very hard to diagnose these problems, particularly as you can connect using a 3rd party program.
See if the 'timeout' issue could be at play here:

An ftp error occurred cannot make connection to host DW CS4

OK... I just recently installed Dreamweaver CS4. I am trying to connect to a clients site and I keep on getting the following error:
an ftp error occurred cannot make connection to host. the remote host cannot be found
A couple of days when I was in DW CS3, I never had this problem, apparantly others have also had this problem however all the help that I have seen is for PC.
When I entered all of my info, I then proceeded several times to 'Test' , I have been able to connect succesfully but when I try to connect to remote host, I get that error message.
Please help!!!!
I am using Mac OS X Version 10.5.8

Hi,
In the remote info tab, Access-> FTP, click on Server Compatibility button.
Uncheck FTP Perfomance Optimization.
Try to re-connect to your web server.
OR
In the FTP field, you don't have to type the protocol (ftp://....)
Martin

One of my sites still connects but the other gets An ftp error occurred cannot make connection to host.

My problem is in “connect to remote server”. I manage two sites in Dreamweaver CS6, and they are hosted by the same guys. One site still connects fine but the other one has stopped connecting. With the second site when I click on the button I get a delay then "An ftp error occurred -- cannot make connection to host".
However I can still access the second site’s remote server through an FTP program, and the Host tech support confirms my login is working fine from his computer.
I tried doing this old trick (1) Site > Manage Sites > Export to create a .ste file (2) quite, restart (3) Manage Sites > Import the .ste file (4) click on connect to remote server -- But that made no difference

Just because both sites are hosted by the same firm doesn't mean they are on the same physical server. Your problem connecting could be attributable to many things.
User name and password may have changed or been reset.
Server permissions problems (GoDaddy is notorious for this).
IP blocking.
Server is down.
etc...
Are you able to connect with a 3rd party FTP client like FileZilla? If not, I'm guessing this is a server problem & you need to contact your host.

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

DW CS4 "cannot make connection to host" (since upgrade to CS4 from CS3)

Recently updated from CS3 to CS4. (I had previously upgraded to OS 10.5, and everything was fine in CS3 under 10.5.)
Everything looked OK in CS4 (I saw files in DW, but I did not try to connect to any hosts) so I wiped CS3.
Later I noticed that the login and password for hosts had all been erased.
When I put them in, they stay.
BUT every single remote host gives me:
"cannot make connection to host"
Logging in using a numerical IP address instead of domain name does not help.
Logging in with an FTP client (e.g. Fetch) works, though.
Can anyone help me with this...??
Mac under OS 10.5.7

Wow. This is really painful. Has anyone tried to use Adobe technical/customer support lately?! Bloody awful.
I am on hold on my fifth call, right now.
Four times I phoned in and had to explain everything all over again.
Three times a representative said they would "escalate" the issue (which apparently means "trash-heap" it), and then call me back.
Never did I get one call back.
Before calling in I tried for two weeks to puzzle this out on my own.
Now work is backing up and I STILL cannot use my copy of Dreamweaver.
WTF, Adobe??

Error message: an ftp error occurred - cannot make connection to host. ...not authorized to make the connection due to local firewall

I am currently using windows 8.1 and also have a norton antiviurs software installed.

Have you disabled your Windows Firewall?
You should also download and install (free) Filezilla, and see it it works for you.
Always good to have a backup FTP program.
I assume you have toggles the active/passive etc. settings

Cannot make or receive calls, divert not working!

New to this forum (hello!) but am at my wits end with BT customer care!
My mother is elderly and lives alone, a working phone line is very important to her. She finds a mobile very difficult to use so her BT landline is rucial She has limited hearing and has a special amplified handset.
A few weeks ago, her line became impossibly noisy with static and crackling. An engineer came and has since fixed the problem.
Since Monday she has not been able to make or receive calls at all - the phone is crackling and sounds like it has been left 'off the hook' if that mankes sense! I have unplugged all her handsets, tried my own phone (which I know works fine) plus a corded phone in all sockets. Still the same problem. So I called the fault line and spoke to someone in a call centre, booked an engineer for this Friday, got told about he charges etc etc.
The main problem is although her phone is set to divert to my mobile now, if you call her number, it goes straight to voicemail 1571 and not through to me. I have called back the fault line, got another script reader in "customer services" (no help at all) and cannot get anyone to help me!!!
Can anyone offer any advice?? I have spent hours trying to fix this for her and she is getting increasingly panicked by not having a phone she can use. Can anyone help???

Dreamweaver - FTP error occurred - cannot make connection

Hello I am trying to update a site and I am getting an error:
FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host.
I absolutely did change any kind of FTP settings in the last 3 months.
Everything has been working fine up until now.
Justhost is who I use, I talked to there tech support they said they checked on there side and are able to connect and everything is working there, they are telling me it has something to do with dreamweaver.
The only thing new is a I did an update earlier to adobe creative cloud - I don't think that would be the problem though.
If anyone can please please help me or point in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Hello,
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!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

FTP Error Occurred - Cannot make connection

I've been receiving this message:
"An ftp error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your
login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection
information."
when trying to set-up and download active websites originally
built in FrontPage. Do Dreamweaver & FrontPage not play well
with each other? Why would that affect my being able to connect to
my websites via Dreamweaver? I have double and triple checked the
logins and passwords. They are correct. Also, I have no problem
setting up and uploading a new site.
Remote Info Site Definition Settings:
Access: FTP
FTP host: www.mywebsite.com
Host directory: blank
Login: my login
Password: my password
I've:
tried with passive FTP checked and unchecked
tried with Secure FTP checked and unchecked
Unchecked FTP performance Optimization in Server
Compatibility
Thanks to anyone who can help :)

No. My sites that I created originally in Dreamweaver work
and connect fine. I've compared the settings and I have them set
the same. It's driving me nuts, to say the least!!

DW will no longer connect to host FTP.

This is the error I am receiving:
"An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. User limit reached or not authorized to make the connection due to local firewall blocking FTP data."
I have made no changes on either end, confirmed no issues on host end, and can get no help from Adobe or the DW Facebook sites. My firewalls are OFF, my Apps and OSX are current and I cannot get an explanation for "user limits reached". I have had this issue for a week now, exhausted internet searches and have no answers - and no work until I can sort this out.

@Jeff & Lauren,
You're missing Ken's point entirely. For trouble shooting purposes, install a 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla to rule out causes for the connection failure. If Filezilla cannot connect, then something other than DW is causing the problem.
FileZilla - The free FTP solution
Either your host reset permissions on your server. GoDaddy is notorious for this. Or you have a firewall, antivirus or router problem that is precluding a connection to your remote server.
If you can connect with Filezilla, we need to re-examine your site definition settings in DW.

An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '127.0.0.1:14147'

HI Experts,
I have been tried Content Conversion by using the FTP. Under Adapter Monitoring --> Communication Channel monitoring i found this error:
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '127.0.0.1:14147'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 4 '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Regards,
-Prabhakar.A

Hi
Pl mention the error correctly, whats the FTP error code? (something like this: 426, 521)
Could be due to 2 reasons:
1) insufficient privileges
2) wrong port
