FTP Error Occurred

When I Try to connect to to the FTP
i am able to connect to my other website but not the newest
one i bought...
An ftp error occurred - cannot make connection to host. no
response from the server. this may be due to one or more of the
following reasons:
- accessing the server requires firewall settings that aren't
properly set. please verify that the firewall setting in the site
category of the preferences dialogue box are properly set, and that
the use firewall option in the site definition dialog box is
selected.
- the server may be accepting only passive mode or only
active mode. toggling the "use passive FTP" check box may help you
establish a connection.
- if you are connection to an IPv6 enabled server, please
select "use IPv6 transfer mode" check box in the advanced site
definition dialog.
- your local firewall may be blocking the incoming FTP data.
please disable it to see if it makes a difference.
- It is possible your FTP may be using a non-standard FTP
port(21). if you need to specify a non - standard port, enter the
port number after the host name separated by a colon":"
I don't know why i receive this message all the time but i
need help resolving this issue..

The typical disclaimer is up to 48 hours. Can you connect
with the IP
address?
You might try turning on/off Passive Mode in the site
definition.
Are you certain you have the correct user id and password for
the new
site? You can test this with your OS built-in FTP client.
Open a command line interface (Windows: cmd, OS X: terminal)
and type
the following, using your domain name, user id, and password
at the
appropriate prompts:
ftp ftp.example.com
user
password
ls
bye
Were you able to log in and see a list of files/directories?

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://....)

I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website. Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

Open up your site definition (double-click on the site name in the File panel or choose Site > Manage Sites > Edit) and go to the Remote Info category. There, click Use Firewall (if it isn't already selected) - press Test to try the default firewall settings. If that doesn't work, click Firewall Settings. You'll see two relevant settings about 2/3 down - Firewall host and Firewall port. If Firewall port is 21, there probably is something blocking the port.
On Windows XP, you may have the Windows Firewall installed and blocking. Here's how you get to it:
To open Windows Firewall
1.
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2.
In the control panel, click Windows Security Center.
3.
Click Windows Firewall.
Once you have that open, you'll need to set Dreamweaver as an exception to blocking:
On the Exceptions tab, click Add Program.
In the list of programs, click the name of the program (Dreamweaver) that you want to add, and then click OK. If the name of your program is not in the list of programs, click Browse to locate the Dreamweaver.exe in the Program Files folder and then click OK.
Hope this helps - Joe

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.

Cannot make stable FTP connection - An FTP error occurred

Having problems with Dreamweaver FTP, any suggestions appreciated. Using CS6 on Windows 8.1 via Virgin Media Super Hub.
Dreamweaver successfully connects to FTP server and PUT's maybe 5 to 10 jpg files then stops with this error: (uploading immediately after PUTS a few more up then stops with the error again):
Error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put xxx.jpg.
Dreamweaver cannot connect to host. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
- The network cable is unplugged or the network is down. Please verify that the network cable is connected and that the network is up.
- The FTP server is down. Please verify that you can connect to the FTP server using another FTP program.
- The FTP host name is incorrect. Please verify that the host name is correct in the Site definition dialog box.
- Accessing the server requires proxy settings that aren't properly set. Please verify that the proxy settings in the Site category of the Preferences dialog box are properly set, and that the Use Proxy option in the Site definition dialog box is selected.
- You may need to connect to the server using a different port than the one provided. Please specify the correct port in the box provided.
Have already tried with no effect:
- Temporarily disabling Windows Firewall
- Ticking/unticking passive mode and the other settings in Dreamweaver>site>server
- Switched Virgin Media Hub to Cable modem mode
many thanks.

Edit > Preferences > Site. Try increasing your FTP Time out and disconnect settings.
Does this also happen with a 3rd party FTP Client like Filezilla?

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!

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!!

An FTP error occurred - cannot put [file name.htm]. Dreamweaver encountered an internal data error

I get the message “Server not responding” whenever trying to add files to my web site via DW. The following message appears: "An FTP error occurred - cannot put [file name.htm]. Dreamweaver encountered an internal data error. Please try the operation again."
I called the hosting service provider, and they said they were able to upload a 20 mb document with no problem. I was also able to upload a document using Filezilla.
Therefore, the problem must be with DW.
When I go to Manage Sites and choose my site and get to the Test Connection button, the test is successful, which further confuses the issue.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Does this help?

It is possible it is a host issue but because they use a higher level account to test that they do not see the error.

Ftp error occurred in DW CS5. FTPClient also fails. Help Please!

I'm about to pull my hair out. someone please help me.
I have DW CS5 and my hosting company is brinkster. I have a domain name that was registered with enom and i changed the dns to direct to brinkster. this was a week ago. I tried to login to the ftp with dreamweaver and i get the ftp error message. I also cannot login using filezilla (ftp client). i have been in a chat with brinkster support for an hour and they can't figure out whats wrong. brinkster said they could connect fine. they tell me it is a local issue. what could be happening here? if anyone has a solution please help!
i have other websites i have created using DW and brinkster hosting and do not have an issue signing into those accounts, it's only the new domain i cannot get access to. all of my settings are correct as i sent a screen shot to the brinkster tech and he said it was correct.
i am using a wireless wpa2 connection. i have also tried it on a free network here at the apartment. no luck.
any help would be great! thanks guys!

well i just got off the online chat with brinkster. no fix.
they tell me its a firewall or port problem but they cannot answer this question for me...
i have 3 websites with brinkster. 2 of them are up and running perfectly and i can login anytime i want to (for example 5 minutes ago). the other one is the new site i am creating. i cannot sign into this with dreamweaver or ftpclient. i have tried it at a different location and i have a friend try it at a different location. i am using port 21 on all of my sites.
so i ask them why can i log in to my other accounts and not this one? they have no answer. they tell me it is firewall or port 21 is blocked. wouldn't that be impossible if i can still login to my other accounts that use port 21 and from the same computer?
this is VERY frustrating and i could lose a client over this.

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

FTP Error - Mac, DW_CS6

Due to upgrading my MAC from S.Leopard to M.Lion I've lost the use of DWmx04, a programme I have used for a long time, so thought instead of going through the stress of reinstalling S.Leopard I would embrace the change. So have downloaded the trial version of DWcs6, all going well until testing the FTP. Got all the necessary FTP details for my site, but I get the message 'An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.' I might of had a similiar problem when originally started with mx04 but can't remember how I solved it. I understand that there are many perameters, any advice would be helpful.
This might be a long shot but until very recently I was using MX04 successfully, is there anyway of transfering mysite FTP details from there?
I've checked previous posts but haven't found a definitive answer.

mx04 was working on the same machine (mac pro) until the upgrade (1month ago). Due to it being a Power PC program it refuses to load, but all the databases are still on my system, will have a look at your link.
I successfully loaded mysite files into DWcs6 but it would be good if I could access my previous DW04 FTP settings, to see where and if I have made a mistake.
Thought it would be an easier way than just constantly changing and testing individual FTP settings.
Thanks

FTP Error when trying to "put" a file to my web site

When I try to put some files to my web site, I get an error message:"FTP Error occurred - cannot put <filename>. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem."
Other files I can upload without a problem. All are .htm files.
I have also found that I can "put" a file if I have not edited it. After I edit and save it and try to put it, I get the FTP error.
Some files I can upload even if I have just edited them.
I have found a "work around". If I edit and then "save as" with a new name, I can put the new file to the web, rename it and it works fine.
The work around is a hassle but it works.

It most definitely sounds like a server permissions issue.
If you want to verify before rattling the code mokey cages at your hosting company, download another FTP application, like the Filezilla client (not from the Sourceforge link), and test it.
If you have to do the same thing in FZ, or any other client, your hosting company will need to give you the correct permissions so you have the proper access to develop your site.
I'm 99% sure this has nothing to do with DW in and of itself.
