FTP Problems with Dreamweaver 8

The webmaster for the library I work for recently had
difficulty with her computer. She did a system restore from her
discs, and, after that, reinstalled Dreamweaver 8. She sent me an
email to let me know she needed my assistance setting her DW FTP
back up.
While her computer was down I decided to reorganize the
website files. There were dozens of old files and most of the
images and html were scattered throught the main part of the file
tree. She really liked the changes, but, after connecting her to
the site and downloading all the files, a problem arose.
Once she got her laptop back home every time she'd connect to
the FTP she got a group of folders named "Windows, Linux,
Speedtest" and a few others. I contacted our webhost and they told
me this meant she was logging in anonymously. We have our login
name and password in correctly, though, so this shouldn't happen.
No one at our ISP could help me do to them not being familiar with
Dreamweaver.
After playing around with the machine a bit I found that if I
deleted the site from the FTP and re-did it using the same folders
then the first connection was succesful. But, after disconnecting,
the same problem happens again.
I found this article and wondered if it could be causing our
problem.

The only thing that makes me think it might not be is the
fact that our login and password stays in the box, but, for some
reason, the FTP is connecting anonymously. Could her doing a
recovery have led to this? Maybe there's an update she needs to
apply that she didn't get after doing the recovery?

It's hard to know what kind of things happened with your
moving stuff around
outside of DW.
Suffice it to say that most FTP problems are router/firewall
related. Does
this help at all?

  • Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

    Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
    dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
    sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
    photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
    the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
    english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
    i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
    another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
    menus...
    thanks.... have nice day.....

    This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
    content. By default, all active content including flash will
    display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
    under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
    transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
    not work for menu items.
    I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
    overlap with the flash movie.

  • Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

    Hello:
    I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
    pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
    this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
    The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
    behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
    Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
    see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
    menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
    see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
    For example, check out the following URLs:
    http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
    ... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
    button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
    drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
    fine.
    http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
    ... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
    question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
    and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
    buttons and for each menu item.
    For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
    problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
    What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
    Any help for this problem is appreciated.
    Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
    information from the <head></head> area of each of
    these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
    HELP!

    First, you need to read this, written by the person who
    adapted that menu
    code for Macromedia -
    http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
    Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
    such things -
    Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -
    http://www.projectseven.com/
    and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place
    http://tjkdesign.com/articles/dropdown/
    Or this one (more recent article):
    http://tjkdesign.com/articles/Pure_CSS_Dropdown_Menus.asp
    Or to get it done fast, go here -

  • Problem with Dreamweaver 8

    I'm having a problem with Dreamweaver 8. I installed it
    earlier and worked just fine, but then since I've shut down and
    restarted my computer dreamweaver will not open. It will come up
    with the loading screen, and then automatically closed. I can't get

  • OT: FTP problems with DW? Mention the Dreamweaver version

    Hi all,
    I request all of you to post the version of Dreamweaver when you post queries on FTP related issues. There were a number of bug fixes made in the 12.0.3 and 12.2 update, and it would be of value for the product team to know whether these fixes have helped resolve the problem, and any pending issues.
    For users that have made it to these updates, use this post as a sounding board for problems you are still facing with FTP. Having these posts in one place will ensure that we have one link to capture this information.
    Moderators and experts: Please request users for the version of DW when they post a query on FTP related issues.
    Thanks,
    Preran

    What firewall do you use? I would sooner think a setting on a

  • FTP sync problems with Dreamweaver MX on Prostores website

    I ftp/sync, design and maintain my website Carnelian.com with Dreamweaver MX. My website is hosted by Prostore.com (an Ebay company). They have just recently migrated to new servers and are now requiring FTPES security which apparently is not supported via Dreamw
    eaver Mx (which uses SFTP). Because of this I can no longer FTP or syncronize my website, upload files, images etc. Is there some
    work around so that I can meet their secure ftp requirements and still use Dreamweaver to ftp/sync my website? I can get a third party FTPES client and upload my site changes, images etc but then my website will no longer be syncronized in Dreamweaver MX which would be a great inconvenience and problem for me.
    Is there a solution to this problem?
    ================================================================================
    Here is info on the Prostores migration from their support pages and support personel:
    2009-07-26 01:10:46 - ProStores Customer Support
    ProStores has decided to abandon FTP as an access method to the platform in order to remain compliant with certification authorities
    like PA-DSS and PCI. Dreamweaver does not support FTP TLS/ES or FTPS. Based on the research performed, it appears that Adobe is not
    working on providing this functionality anytime soon. The following options are taken from ProStores Knowledge Base:
    There are many FTP programs available. There are evaluation, free, shareware and paid versions of different FTP programs. ProStores
    only supports FTP programs that support FTPS with SSL/TLS encryption. Below is a list of widely used secure FTP programs (in no spec
    ific order) that are compatible with ProStores FTP services.
    · FileZilla (free)
    · FireFTP (Firefox add-on) (free)
    · WISE-FTP 6 ($)
    · CuteFTP ($)
    · And many others
    If you upload images using the FTP process, there are new security settings and requirements. FTP protocol changed to FTPS (FTP over
    SSL), also known as FTP/ES (Enhanced Security). Access to the new FTP/ES server will be through the URL myftp.prostores.com.
    Update your FTP settings as noted below. In some cases, you may need to use a different FTP client to support the additional securit
    y settings required on the new platform.
    hostname = myftp.prostores.com
    Server type = FTPES or FTPS
    port = 21
    Logon type = normal (not anonymous)
    username / password = primary ProStores login credentials
    Connection type = FTPS
    SSL Settings = Use SSL-encrypted connection with Auth TLS (or TLS 1)
    FTP client requirements = must support SSL-encrypted/TLS connection (Auth TLS or TLS 1)
    Several free and paid FTP clients that support SSL encrypted connections include:
    FileZilla (free)
    FireFTP (Firefox add-on) (free)
    WISE-FTP 6 ($)
    CuteFTP ($)
    And many others"
    Operating System: Windows XP Professional
    Browser: Firefox

    I'm going to give Adobe and Google the benefit of the doubt on this one, and assume it is eBay being ridiculous. My anecdotal experience with Adobe and Google is that they do pay attention to technology trends and usually incorporate industry standard technology into their software. If it were just Dreamweaver that didn't support SSL/TTS I might have a different attitude, however blogger.com doesn't support publishing via SSL/TTS either, so I think the error if there is one, is on the Prostores side of things, and I'm guessing it would have made sense for them to support SFTP.
    At the same time I assume the Adobe eco-system is more likely to render a solution here than the Prostores eco-system. Is there some sort of plugin/additional piece of software that lets Dreamweaver masquerade a SSL/TTS connection?

  • FTP problems with CS5 - Help please

    I volunteer helping charity and education organisations with their websites.  One of my clients has just bought CS5 - I personally am still working on CS3 - so when I went to help them download their site first of all the set-up was quite different (why do companies fix things that aren't broken), but I got over that issue and managed to connect to the site, download and make a couple of changes. All was well!
    Two days later I went back, because they were having problems and I couldn't connect to the server.... Well, when I was on the main Dreamweaver screen  the computer said it was connecting and made all the right moves uploading files etc, but nothing on the website changed, so goodness knows where the files were going.  When I went onto the screen showing local and remote files, on the server side there was just a message saying you can't upload unless you set up a control version and the little blue plug was just greyed out.
    I don't want or need to set up a control version as it is just one person dealing with this site from one computer.
    As this is the first time I have come across 'subversion' or SVN I am a little confused. I have sent an email to the hosting company to make sure it is not a problem with their server, but won't get a reply until Monday so I thought that over the week-end I would just ask all you out there....
    Help!!

    DW is more than capable of managing your FTP tasks on its own.  Please tell us - when you connect to the remote site and then LOOK at the Remote side of the Files panel, what FOLDER names do you see?  As an ancillary question, what do you have in the Root Directory field of the Remote site definition?

  • Synchronize problem with Dreamweaver CS4

    Hi all,
    I was wondering whether any of you can offer any advice or help with a problem I have with Dreamweaver CS4. 
    The problem is regarding the Synchronize feature within Dreamweaver, for example after I have made a change to a web page and want to upload this to the internet, the software detects what files have changed which is fine but against the file it has the word and symbol called "Resolve" and this is where I am stuck because I cannot click on the Resolve button to change it to "Put" because the icon is grey so therfore I am unable to upload any changes to any websites. 
    If anybody can help me then it would be very much appreciated. 
    Cheers 
    Daniel

    Hi Hans- G    
    Many Thanks for this. I will go and have a look. It is strange as I have never experienced this problem before.
    Cheers

  • Anyone with problems with Dreamweaver?

    hi
    Dreamweaver hangs on startup of the application. Does anyone else have this problem? I've heard there are problems with DW and OS 10.5.7.
    I've searched online, disabled the startup menu as suggested, but still hangind when I try and open an html document.
    As an aside, does anyone have a rec. for a free wysiwyg program, while I figure out what to do about DW?
    Thanks
    Chuck S

    HI Chuck,
    Try repairing disk permissions. Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, try deleting the associated preference file.
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Look in the Preferences folder for a file named similar to this.
    com.dreamweaver.plist
    Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your computer.
    And to to Apple Menu/Software Updates. Make sure all your software is up to date.
    Look at BBedit and see if it would do the job here.

  • FTP problem with  LR3.2, OS X

    I used to be able to upload Web galleries using the Lightroom 2 FTP client (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8).  I tried using LR3.2 today and I get "An error occurred sending the file : invalid login".  Which is nonsense, as I am using the exact same settings in Coda and it logs in just fine.
    I have turned off the OS X firewall and have set Little Snitch to allow all.
    From what I can find online, this seems to have been a long term problem with LR.  Any solutions?
    DN

    I have tried this and it is working for me...
    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • New with initial problems with Dreamweaver

    I am working on a large project, think of a multimedia-pedia.
    As I wish to do it by years, from 1950 to present, with 7 sub
    pages for each, I will end up with about 500 pages to horse around
    when I am done, which I expect to take a year or so. I have put up
    the first three years to test things and see how search engines see
    it and that kind of thing. It will not be viable of course until I
    am done with 1969 and I will have something to sell, THE SIXTIES.
    If you would like to see the project:
    http://1960.yearthatwas.com
    Perhaps someone could give me a few conceptual ideas on how
    best to do this in the first place...
    I only have a day looking over Dreamweaver but I have run
    into one problem that I need resolved before I can commit to it and
    DELETE that sorryass Frontpage I been messing with for most of ten
    years. :)
    This concerns just HTML at the moment.
    I loaded the 1960 page created in FP into DW.
    I created new tables at the top, moved the content into them
    and deleted the old tables. Hopefully ridding myself of bad old FP
    code.
    There are lots of new things I am having problems with but
    most will be resolved as I move along.
    But this one is stopping me in my tracks
    Design window:
    Returns to add lines between text and text and text and jpgs
    and jpgs and jpgs often do not show properly in IE and FF, and a
    few style formats, like center show differently in IE and FF.
    I can look at the code and the added lines are there, but a
    few never show up in the review.
    I am using
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=utf-8" />
    If that has anything to do with it.
    Sure FP with WYSIWYG is flaky, but I know how to deal with
    it, do I have to learn new flakyness all over again? :)

    > Sure FP with WYSIWYG is flaky, but I know how to deal

    >
    There is no such thing as WYSIWYG on the web or in web
    authoring.
    What you need to learn all over again is HTML and CSS, as
    recommended by
    Michael. DW will be a walk in the park with even an
    introductory
    familiarity with these notions.

  • Vista problem with  Dreamweaver locking files indiscriminately - I'm not alone

    I've seen questions posed in the past about Vista locking files - and I am having the exact same problem, which I posted about a while ago.  Today it happened to me again.
    There appears to be no pattern as to why this happens.  Was happening to me continually until a few weeks ago. Then it stopped without me taking any course of action (just putting up with the annoying bug is all I could do).
    You just have to remember to save the file under a different name to ensure that you don't lose your original file.  The original file does not appear in the File Manager window (after you close down DW, nor does it appear in the Trash bin - it's just gone).
    Initially I thought it may be due to having the file open, checking it in Firefox and possibly FF taking over the file, so it gets locked by DW.  Today, I only opened the file (no checking in a browser at all) made a minor correction and I was locked out of the file.
    Co-incidentally, a few hours ago, I found a website via twitter where this seems to be a known issue, but no there appears to be no response from Adobe about this bug.   http://www.sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2009/05/locked-vanishing-files-in-dreamweaver-and-in design/
    Previously, I used to restart the pc and I'd lose the file altogether (as explained above).  After reading the above website, I'm going to leave DW open for a while to see if it's true about the file 'unlocking itself'.  Thankfully,, this time, I did backup the file just in case.  In the past I'd lost a fair amount of work, that I'd had to recreate - very annoying !!
    I thought I'd post up a graphic of the error messages - to see if others are seeing the same thing. This will need to be bought to the attention of the DW tech team, but not sure how they can address the issue as it is a difficult thing to reproduce on a consistent basis.
    AN UPDATE;  Checked for the file in Windows File manager - the index.html page is not listed in the sitefolder.  Back to Dreamweaver, you can still see the locked file, do a refresh and the index.html file has disappeared.
    I open index2.html (the resaved version of index,html), rename it to index.html and it allows me to do so this time round.
    PS:  At the same time I opened inner.html, made a change, no problems with the file locking.
    Weird !!
    Further update:
    Just found a reply by David Powers here:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437034?tstart=30
    I had tried to do a search using similar keywords when this started happening to me months ago - couldn't find anything at the time.
    I even posted to a private forum where people should have known about this issue - but it was never responded to.
    Will see if this fix works for me....  though I can't understand why it only does this occasionally - if someone needs to take control of the folder, surely it should be happening all the time.

    Nadia,
    Although Dreamweaver "reveals" and demonstrates it, I think that it's a deep-seated Vista permissions issue.
    It's random and occurs on files I create from scratch and files I receive from others.
    Full permissions for every single user and group on my PC doesn't work.
    "Take ownership" by my account or Administrator or Administrators or System or Everyone or Authenticated Users doesn't work.
    UAC deactivation doesn't work.
    Command prompt to unset attributes (like read-only) says it ISN'T read-only, but the right-click properties show that it is.
    Only this works so far.
    Activate Vista's Administrator account (be sure to then set a password for it).
    Log in as Administrator, and the issue no longer occurs.
    Here's a link for instructions on how to activate the Vista Administrator account.
    Enable the (Hidden) Administrator Account on Windows Vista [The How-To Geek]
    I'm open and hopeful for a better solution, but for now I've got work to do, so I'm using Dreamweaver logged in as Administrator.

  • Font problems with dreamweaver on Mac

    Hi, i installed dreamweaver cs3 as a part of web premium
    suite on intel mac os x 10.4.10. My international settings are set
    to Turkish. There are some oddities with fonts. Dreamweaver font
    list displays some fonts with CE suffix (Helvetica CE, Lucida
    Grande CE ...) but these fonts are not installed on my computer.
    How does dreamweaver displays these fonts? I checked the install
    log and couldn't find where these fonts are located. Other
    applications in the web premium package doesn't show these fonts.
    Also, dreamweaver is having problems with Turkish characters
    if I don't use these fonts. For example, I want to use default
    operating system fonts Helvetica or Lucida Grande (which have
    Turkish character support and works fine with Adobe Photoshop CS3
    and Illustrator CS3) in css font family but Dreamweaver can not
    display Turkish characters with these fonts. If I use Helvetica CE
    instead of Helvetica, Turkish characters are displayed without any
    problem but this is not an option because most people have
    Helvetica (not Helvetica CE). Previously I was using Dreamweaver MX
    2004 on windows and didn't have any problems with Turkish
    characters.

    Update,
    I have this type of code in the old pages on my body text I'm guessing it's because in most of my pages i.e. old dreamweaver mx days I've selected the text and formatted with the property inspector instead of css by mistake.
      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">text eh?
    </font></p>
    But I want them like this so i can change it all with css vs manually.
        <p>text eh?</p>
    So I've followed your advice and searched and replaced the former with the later on the dreamweaver template page and on a few individual pages, hoping that will allow me to eventually use css to adjust it all.
    I am very very tempted to do a global search and replace with changing
    this   <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
    to this <p>
    and this </font></p>
    to this </p>
    but I'm kinda worried if I don't do each page manually and test each one, all 148 pages, oh joy, and check something it  could bork my site in ways i'll take forever to find out and fix. Am I correct in worrying about this?

  • Problem with Dreamweaver & csv file!!!!

    Working on website...
    www.banners4churches.com
    Website has special pricing matrix...
    http://www.banners4churches.com/current/banners/order_custombanners.php
    Excel .xml file is run through Linux Fedora 10 wKDE and cli.sh to create .csv file for Dreamweaver.  The .xml file was updated and the new .csv file was inserted back into the root folder for DW.  Was working properly before changes, but now it shows error message "call." 
    Been working on this problem for days!!!!  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    What is the problem? The pricing matrix at the URL you provided is working. If it's something not working on your local system, nobody can help unless they see the code you're working with. In any case, it sounds as though there's something wrong with the CSV file, not with Dreamweaver.
