FTP Problem: Waiting for server...

I'm using Dreamweaver MX with the 6.1 patch applied. FTP
appears to connect fine, but then when it starts looking for the
remote folder it says, "waiting for server..." and eventually times
out. While searching the internet for clues to this problem I see
some people say to check off "Passive FTP"....but I don't have an
option to check "Passive FTP". Does anyone have any ideas?

You have that option in your Remote Site definition.

Cannot Connect To FTP Server (Waiting For Server)

no matter what I do, I am unable to connect to my FTP server. In dreamweaver when I try and connect my site, it just keeps saying waiting for server. I have also just recently downloaded filezilla to see if it was dreamweaver that was messing up, and it turns out, it wasn't! because I am having the same problems on there too, when I try and connect to my site in filezilla, it just times out. I have disabled all my firewalls, played around with every setting possible (turning mt FTP from passive to active etc) whats going on? is the server playing up? someone help me please! I have had no problems like this before, it only began yesterday.

Could it be a signal? Have a look here http://suite101.com/article/2012-end-of-the-world-predictions-by-nostradamus-a148071
On a more professional note, I think it is best to contact the host, he/she is sure to help you.

My FTP works but is very slow, hangs on 'waiting for server', fix???

Hi guys
My FTP connects but its constantly hanging and saying 'waiting for server', eventually it connects.
My other ftp clients connect instantly, its just DW, sometimes my filezilla may halt but not as bad as DW does.
I can use port 22 and its instant but reading this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734356?tstart=0 will tell you why I can't use port 22.
Not sure what to do here, ive tried changing loads of settings and I get the same thing, I dont want to have to use an external FTP client as that would slow my workfllow considerably.
Also I think its a mac issue, if i try this in another building on windows 7 it connects instantly.
If i set my timeout to something really high like 90 seconds it eventually connects.
Anyone got any ideas??
Thanks

So using a separate FTP client is out of the question? I ask because my workflow uses a separate FTP app - it makes it much easier to troubleshoot FTP, server, and file permission issues. And it doesn't crash Dreamweaver. So again, are you sure you can't adjust your workflow to use a separate FTP application? (I use Transmit on the Mac and it has some wonderful features including a built-in Sync capability)
How do you have Dreamweaver's FTP functionality set-up?
Are you using Passive FTP?
Are you using a reverse proxy server in your network?
Have you tried the Mac Network Utility to ping your FTP server?
What kind of ping times are you getting?
Do you experience network latency issues frequently?
Do you have Mac OS X's Firewall enabled and have you tried disabling it before an FTP session - does this effect anything?
Have you tried unchecking Dreamweaver's Use FTP performance optimization? (Site Definition->Advanced->Remote Info->Server Compatibility)?
Do you have any network engineers in your IT department? Can they look at their information and maybe see what might be happening on the network?

"waiting for server" A DW problem or internet?

Hello again
As per title, Im getting frustrated with my computer! Im finally getting a long awaited re-build of my site done, BUT Im getting alot of "waiting for server" the files are uploading (mostly) but very very slowly
Where do I start for a fix? Is it internet? a 123-reg server prob? or a DW prob
OR could it even be my computer?
Ive set this day aside to get the site done, but im spending more time "googling" the problem than getting work done! Hence the direct question!

There are a lot of variable here, it could be your connection speed. If you had dialup (remember that), you would get this all the time. Another thing to look at is from another post.
I'm using DW CS3 on a Vista 64 system.
I work in split screen - Code and Design.
Fairly "busy" pages with Google ads and other external banners in the sidebars, as well as other external javascript and CSS files.
(Note the problem is not there when using only code view - DW becomes unresponsive only when a design view is open.)
Tried the delete-cache-file fix and it didn't work. (I noticed that the deleted cache file was NOT recreated on subsequent DW startups.)
What worked for me was changing a setting found in the View menu.
"Display External Files" was checked on.
Turned if off and suddenly DW started working again
(I noticed that after I did this, that deleted cache file was recreated.)
The problem and solution are repeatable on my system.
Turn that option on and open the "problem" page - DW freezes
Restart DW, turn that option off and then open the "problem" page - DW runs.

Waiting For Server CS4 Virgin Media 1and1

Hi
Over the last few month I have been getting "Waiting For Server" error messages from Dreamweaver while working on my websites hosted on a dedicated server with 1and1. My ISP is Virgin Media, whith whom Ihave a 50MB connection using a Virgin Media super hub.
This problemn didn't exist just over a month ago.
I have asked boith 1and1 and Virgin Media for help. Both deny there is a problem with the connection at either end and have suggested it is a Dreamweaver problem.
I have completely uninstalled Dreamweaver on both my Laptop and Desktop PC's.
I have tried the passive FTP and server compatibility settings within Dreamweaver, with no difference.
I have also tried using a couple of external DNS services, with no difference.
While I'm working, I can mayb eedit and save 5 files, then on mayb eth e6th I'll get the waiting for server message, which will then connect and save the file after about 30 seconds.
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions that I haven't tried yet?
Many thanks
Mr M

Yes, I am editing the files directly on the server. Until recently, I've been working this way for years.
Dangerous. You must be exceptionally confident.
Are you working in CF?
At any rate, I'm not experienced with using this configuration, nor do I know anyone that works this way. Maybe someone else will pop in to help....

"Waiting for server-" errors in Contribute CS4

Haven't updated my website in a while, so this is new for me, but starting yesterday I've gotten nothing but "Waiting for server..." errors every time I try to edit or publish a page. It takes about 10 attempts before the page finally downloads for edit or publishes. So a 2 minute task now takes about half an hour and it's driving me crazy. I'm using Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5).
Has anyone else seen this behavior or know of a work-around?
thanks!

Waiting for server... messsage

Hello,
I've been trying to use dreamweaver on my home computer and
it wont load my remote files. I keep getting the waiting for server
message. I've tried different versions of dreamweaver and I still
have the same issue. I've also tried connecting to different hosts
and still I have the same issue.
Thanks

All I have at home is my linksys router.
I loaded Dreamweaver on my Windows XP version on my Mac and
didn't test a Dreamweaver for Mac install yet.

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.
Best wishes,
Adninjastrator

Waiting for server

Why am I eternally waiting for the server when I'm trying to upload tiny text files to a web site with a perfectly good connection? This happens all the time. One minute I'm waiting until the connection times out and the next it's perfectly fast. What's the point in using Dreamweaver if it can't upload to a server? It's mostly useless otherwise. Transmit works ten times faster and is much more reliable and cheaper. Why can't Adobe simply buy Transmit and stick their code into Dreamweaver, since there is nobody at Adobe who actually knows how to program anything. They're all too busy trying to look cool while making long-winded videos.

Under Edit --> Preferences --> Site I have experimented with FTP disconnect (idle) and FTP time out high values low values - I am currently set to disconnect after 0 minutes idle and 60 second on the time out.
Many people have tested and Adobe should put a FTP log sniffer on the FTP process and look at ever command in the Upload to see where and why the FTP process hangs up. Why does it fail some times and work other times. It can fail on the 1st FTP after restating the PC, opening DW only and doing a post. The FTP in the DW Log is insufficient and does not record the full process or if it does, the log is out of sequence with the actual events.
I ran a put on a small directory - the DW FTP log shows all files transferred. On the server, I could see that the files were all updated, yet DW was hung up with a message waiting on server and the lower right status line had an icon under Files and a message - Sometimes during a get when the local file is open in DW and is also selected as part of a multi-file download, DW pops up a dialog box warning of the loss of changes (the dialog box is behind the background activities window and is not visible, unless one mouse's over the taskbar icon that displays the DW editor window and background activities window, then mouse-over on the background activities window beings the hidden overwrite and lose changes to the forefront. Even though it is visable one can not interact with the dialog box as its non-modal and all of DW is frozen waiting for user interaction with a hidden dialog box.
If you read the posts - the common problem is that FTP connects properly intermittently, results in long waits/timeouts. FTP cant publish when the preceding FTP is hung-up. Forcing a cancel often frees up the blockage allowing FTP to post properly / maybe on the following attempt. While this is part of the problem, its not the entire problem. If one is a web developer working on multiple sites and makes updates often, this problem is very pronounced. Switching between websites is also a problem and causes DW to greyout and the system to respond that the Dreamweaver application is not responsive close or wait.... I wait and it comes back. I am on an I7, Win7 Pro, All SSD drives - my PC smokes. However, DW has issues related to bottlenecking or waiting for some internal process to respond before allowing FTP or a change from one local site to another. - If the FTP is not locked up, I can open and close different sites as fast as I can click. FTP upload site-A and then switch to site-B, DW hangs up, does not release Site-A (for a while) and the OS pops up a dialog that the application is not responding.
Instead of guessing at problems, Adobe should create web space on Linux and Windows platforms, load a test site that is comparable to a real world site with linked CSS, included images, .... and then do some posting and analyze the problem first had. Adobe has the resources to test its code. If Adobe needs access to a live case, I will provide access. You have my profile information, call or email me and I will respond.

How to make my object to wait for server response

Hi ,
I need some one suggestions on thread concepts.
First Let me know my scenario is fit for thread concept.

Hi ,
Let me give more information about that between my java class and server
i have the bridge library which is also written in other than java.
for that i used the njawin tool make as java wrapper class and accessing the java wrapper class(Bridge Server).
the java wrapper class has post_request and poll_response methods so that why i 'm using only these methods in my java class to access the server.
exactly I don't which technology is resided in Brdige server and actual Server bez that has been developed some one.
poll_respnse means server has posted the response to client.
Thanks

IPhone 4S Wifi Sync Problem "Waiting for Changes to be applied"

When syncing my iPhone 4S over WiFi, I keep getting the message "Waiting for Changes to be applied", and the syncing seems to go into a endless sync of death. When I sync my iPad, not problem at all. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Resetting to Factory Default Settings, then restoring from the Cloud, sorted the problem

E61 sync problem: 'Waiting for the mobile phone to...

Setup: Nokia E61 Windows XP Pro w/Service Pack 2 PC Suite 6.80.53.3 Nokia supplied cable.
The body of this has been essentially copied from two other people who've had the same problem. One's problem spontaneously disappeared while the other's was solved by removing the phone's battery for a minute. My problem was not solved by that and I throw it to the group for its collective wisdom.
I have successfully synchronised my Outlook Contacts & Calendar for over a week. Now I can't. On selecting Synchronise Now in the Nokia PC Sync dialog, the blue & green bubbles continue to rotate and the message 'Connecting to E61'continues to flash for some 5 mins. The message then changes to 'Waiting for the mobile phone to send data'. This continues for approx. 3 mins, where upon synchronisation stops and the message Synchronisation Completed appears. However, 0 entries have been updated, despite several updates to contacts. Previously, having pressed the Synchronise Now button, synchronisation would take typically less than a minute and all updates would be transferred OK. I have tried everything I can think of. Included, completely de-pairing the phone from the PC, uninstalling PC Suite, installing again from scratch and re-establishing the connection. The other functions in PC Suite seem to be fine. For example, I can use the file manager to see what's on my phone. At the bottom of the PC Suite page it says that my phone is connected via USB. At the task bar at the bottom of the Windows screen it also shows everything OK. The icon there says"Nokia PC Suite Nokia E61 conected via USB". It's only when I press the synchronize button on PC Suite that the next screen pops up and says that it's trying to connect. Any suggestions to this vexing problem?

try recreating the sync settings from PC Sync, select settings - create bew settings - and run through the wizard. then sync

Azure Service Bus client: Best way to wait for server response?

Hi,
I have a web service that needs to send a request on Azure Service Bus and wait for the response. The web service must operate synchronous as seen from the web service client, that is:
public Response WebServiceMethod(Request)
senderQueueClient.Send(Request);
// wait for response from receiverQueueClient
// and return to web serviuce client
return response;
This can be solved using mutexes that are updated in "receiverClientQueue.OnMessage". But that is hard work and if I Google the matter, I find several options to deal with this - especially when using .NET 4.5. And there are also some built-in
stuff in the QueueClient.
But how to do this best? Can someone point me in the right (easy) direction?
Werner

Hi,
May I know what are you use queue to achieve? can you give us further information for a better help.

Mac Startup problem "Waiting for FTDI ReEnumerate Device"

Hello all
I'm having trouble with a work eMac, afraid I can't login to tell you the exact software version but believe it's Panther.
I placed a new hard drive in an external shell and plugged it into the eMac via USB to see if it works. There was an error message stating that the inserted drive had no volumes that the computer could mount, but after that the computer froze. After restarting the computer boots up, proceeds as far as the apple logo with progress bar, gets to a step "Waiting for FTDI ReEnumerate device" and just stays there.
I didn't install any software to mount the external drive (now disconnected), and testing the drive on other computers none of them can see it at all, not even registering error messages.
Can anyone help me to unstick this computer? Thanks
Luke.

More info: Attempting to restart in safe mode, startup proceeds as normal until the progress bar under the apple logo is nearly complete, and then it stays at "Login Window Starting". The progress bar is still pulsing but not moving, and the computer stays like that.
