Ftp in dreamweaver

Merging from GoLive to DW :0
I have managed to import my golive site into DW CS3, minus
all the golive site settings off course, just fine but when I try
to upload a single file(index.html)the file uploads, or it says it
does, but when I check the page live, there is no changes.
I checked my ftp settings, but I guess i'm not familiar
enough with DW's ftp.
Can anyone help?

Just answer my question - what folders do you see on the
remote side?

Can't Use Using The FTP In Dreamweaver

Hi all,
I've got the FTP in Dreamweaver linked up to my site but I'm
having troubles. I can download the pages from my host using the
Dreamweaver FTP but I can't upload I just get a timed out message.
I tried CuteFTP and I can upload & download with no trouble at
all. Is there a way I can configure the Dreamweaver FTP to check if
I have the right port open etc and has anyone had this trouble? If
so what was wrong?
Thanks very much all

When you connect to the Remote site, and look at the remote
side of the
EXPANDED File panel, what FOLDER names do you see at the top
level there?

Bad FTP in Dreamweaver CS6

The FTP in Dreamweaver CS6 is really bad and that's mildly said. Actually: it sucks. When will there be a solution? I am a user since the early days of Macromedia and it is never fixed. This article describes the problem perfectly: http://b.smpl.st/2012/08/dear-adobe-dreamweavers-ftp-sucks/

What specifically have you tried to get your FTP up and running?
I'm with Murray on this. I use DW's FTP pretty much exclusively, regularly uploading to several different servers from several different networks and I've never had an issue with the program itself. Any FTP problems I've had, aside from goofed up FTP setting caused by operator error, have come from external sources like bad routers, wonky server settings, lost permissions, insane company firewall settings, etc.
I'm pretty sure with a little digging the folks here can help get your FTP running smoothly.

Define version control settings ftp in dreamweaver cs6 from cs4

My ftp in dreamweaver cs6 is telling me I need to define version control settings before it allows me to update or get into files on server. Can someone tell me how I would define version control in dreamweaver cs6 please? Thanks

I was able to get around this by turning off the "Use FTP performance optimization" option under the Site>Server>Basic>More Options area.

Really weird problem setting up FTP in Dreamweaver MX 2004 for Mac.

I'm new to Dreamweaver for all that I've had it for years. Been using GoLive. Using Dreamweaver that is part of Studio MX 2004. I'm trying to set up FTP. Tell Dreamweaver to Create New Dreamweaver Site. Name the site. Don't use server technology. Pick the folder where I want my files. Tell it I want to use FTP to connect to my server. Give it the name of the host server. Tell it which folder I want to use for my files on the server. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I type the url for the folder in the field, as I type "html" it draws a strike through the "l" in "html".
I've tried typing the url in Text Edit, then copy and paste into the field. I get the same result as if I had just typed it in the field.
Deleted and re-installed Dreamweaver by itself. No difference.
Deleted and re-installed everything associated with Studio MX 2004. No difference.
Ran TechTool to see if there might be a disk problem but that came back fine. Have not run my anti-virus, ClamXav, yet. Don't have any anti-spyware software.
Running Mac OS 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 iSight.
I know just how oddball this problem sounds and I realize that I could use Fetch or Cyberduck but I would like my software to work. Anybody have any ideas?

Wiped and re-installed my computer. Now that part of Dreamweaver works. Some bug somewhere that's now been eliminated. Now it has a new problem that I will ask about in a new thread.

The FTP function in Dreamweaver CS5 has suddenly stopped working. My ISP just had to upgrade their FTP servers and they said it was no longer compatible with the FTP in Dreamweaver CS5! Help!!

Is there any update to Dreamweaver CS5 that will allow the FTP function to be compatible with the new FTP server protocol? Please help. Will I need to upgrade to CS6?

Ask in the DW forum and be much more specific about the requirements for your FTP connection like its ports, TLS settings and so on.

Ftp in dreamweaver cs3

Hi,
As always thank you for your help.
I am keen to try dw ftp in order to load site folders, as I have had to resort to loading png image individually via File Manager in order for them not to go corrupt.
However, I keep getting an error message and need someone to help me.
I use MAMP on localhost: 8888 as my testing server. I have also tried both server settings options in the remote panel.
I have included the detail from my isp as well as screenshots of my testing server, remote server, and the original and updated version of the local info server as well as the error message.
Here is the detail from the isp:
Uploading Your Website
And once your domain has propagated you may use the details below:
FTP Hostname: eddit.co.za
Webpage URL: http://www.eddit.co.za <http://www.eddit.co.za/>
Login Details
[Details removed by moderator]
The username and password are definitely correct as I have used the both in Cyberduck and cPanel.
I looked through the forum and see that dw ftp is not too popular, but would really like an experienced eye to tell me if I am not making some silly mistake.
Much appreciated.

Took me a call to tech support to understand what to do in Dreamweaver at first, too.
That was some years ago.
If your hosting service uses a standard Linux/Apache host, the way you need to set up Dreamweaver is quite simple, really.
Fill out your local info as you have, defining an area on your Mac for websites. Mine is in /user/userid/sites/
Then I have a whole series of folders beneath that, one for each website I manage.
You're doing a testing server and you have figured that out.
In the site definitions window, I click on the Advanced tab and select the Remote Server, select FTP, then I type in the host name. In your case, your ISP has all ready given you that and the site has all ready propagated over the net enough so that you can use that.
As I said before, if you have a standard Linux/Apache server, your host directory will almost always be: /public_html/
Then type in your Login and Password. Then click the Test button. If Dreamweaver says you have connected successfully, you're all set. If it doesn't, click the Use Secure FTP (SFTP). Then click "Test" again. If that works, you're all set. You can play around with passive FTP and, unless you have your Mac set up with a strange firewall setup, you needn't click on "Use Firewall," unless you are working for a corporation with a big IT department that uses an additional firewall beyond that which your computer comes configured with.
Unless you are in a collaborative environment, I would not use "Enable file check in and check out." I would maintain synchronization information. I do not prefer to automatically upload files to the server when I save them.
Do this once or twice and you'll find everything really familiar.

Has Adobe fixed FTP in Dreamweaver CS6?

Has Adobe fixed the many FTP issues that plagued Dreamweaver CS6?
I have researched but all I find are lots and lots of unresolved issues with FTP. We absolutely need FTP to function properly. We cannot upgrade to DW CS 6 if CS 6 still breaks FTP.
Currently we are using DW CS 5.5 on Windows 7 Enterprise.
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
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 Bug Dreamweaver CS3

There is a issue with Dreamweaver CS3 and ftp connections. For some reason if I leave dreamweaver open for a few hours and come back, I get an error when saving to the web server that an ftp error has occurred. There is no problem with ftp service on the server and no the users are not maxing out the connection.
The simple yet odd fix is to restart dreamweaver. The problem is that dreamweaver should not do this. If i have saved documents and open from the remote, and if the remote over rides the local, I have lost changes made to given file.
Dreamweaver's ftp bug is a problem. Having 18 specific documents open in dreamweaver, just to have to close and re open dreamweaver just to save files to a known working ftp server.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Those seem like good practices.
As far as the firewall issue, I am very sure that it is not the firewall, unless its a bug with windows firewall being disabled and dreamweaver checking its status and getting confused. The windows firewall is disabled by group policy and being a local admin, I am sure of this.
Just to give a better idea of the issue.
I come in at 8, and I open dreamweaver. I open files edit them, save them, which by my settings ftp's saved files. I have no problem saving the files to the remote server.
Around 12 ish i leave for lunch and I come back to dreamweaver. Dreamweaver, is the way i left it, it has a few of the files I am working on open inside of dreamweaver. I make a change to any given file and save it, i then get the FTP error. I could try changing the "site" i am working on and connect to its ftp, just to get an FTP error. I leave dreamweaver in its current state, and i open filezilla and ftp into the same server as well as delete, rename, copy files to the ftp.
In order to resolve the connecting to ftp issue, I have to close and reopen dreamweaver. And only after doing that can i access any ftp server through dreamweaver.
If i could never get to the ftp server through dreamweaver, I would assume a firewall issue, but that is not the case.

How to setup ftp with dreamweaver and windows server 2003

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.

Hi, I am having issues with FTP in dreamweaver CS4

I am having a problem uploading a new site to my hosting provider using CS4. The error message I get is as follows. An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or pasword are incorrect. Please check your connection information.
So far I have ,
Checked twice my login/password etc with host.
Changed password and re tried
Interestingly I have already uploaded two prev sites from the same machine, with the same CS4 to the same Host (123-reg)
Help !

Hi Gary
thanks for reply.
Tried all the above including toggling between passive etc.
Interestingly in the FTP host box I was putting in what my host instructed, however i have now started to try putting http;// and some other variations
in. Now the error message has changed
FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host remote host cannot be found
The good news is CS4 now at least is showing a dialogue box showing it is attempting to make a connection.
Is there any rules etc when inputting FTP host and host directory? i.e use of / or . /
on a past site I was told the host directory was public_html but got it working by putting /public_html/
I think you are right with the site defenition being the issue, please advise
regards
Mark

Dreamweaver FTP still doesn't work

So I've been trying to get FTP to work in (Mac) Dreamweaver
-- and I've tried every version since MX 2004. But they all fail.
This problem has been posted in this forum (and many others) in the
past. Whenever you try to connect/test an FTP server, you
immediately get this exact error:
"An FTP error occurred -- cannot make connection to host."
This error happens instantly. There is nothing to see in the
FTP log. It is not related to any FTP timeouts, firewall settings,
etc. I have stayed at Dreamweaver MX 2004 because it's FTP works
(and continues to work). Every version of Dreamweaver I've tried
since then, CS, CS 2, CS 3, etc. all give this same error. I've
tried deleting ssh_hosts. I've deleted keychains. I've tried
reinstalling. I've deleted preferences. Rebuild site caches. I've
tried different servers, hosts, etc. FTP (with and without all the
Passive, etc. options, SFTP, etc. I've tested FTP/SFTP in other
programs, in the Terminal etc. I've turned off Firewalls, removed
routers, etc. What am I missing?
Why is Dreamweaver MX 2004 the last version able to perform
FTP operations on our Mac?

Thanks. For what it's worth, I cannot connect to that gov
site in CS4
either. I'm checking to see if there's any info available for
this
problem....

Dreamweaver ftp won't connect to host for one one site

HI,
have spent over 3 hours on this, and double checked
everything, even with ISP to make sure my host address is correct.
I can connect to the host address via other programs and ftp
I have the same settings in dreamweaver, but it won't
connect.
I can connect to other sites with this same dreamweaver, and
can create NEW connections too, but not to this one site that I can
connect to with everything else, but dreamweaver.
The is dreamweaver MX,
Can anyone help?

Adobe provides a test FTP server for these purposes. You can read about it here -
http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-ftp-issues-dreamweaver-cs5.html#main_Ve rify_FTP_access
Try setting up a connection to that server and see if you can connect.

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.
