Question

I deleted a web site from my server and then replaced it with an updated version and then over the next several days i corrected some bits and pieces and edited the pages etc etc however I went to update it again today and dreamweaver (or the server) will no longer replace the files  I get a "error occurred - Unable to create server folder /public_html/Flash/.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.   Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured." same applies to all the other sub folders Templates, images etc I have not changed anything exept the content of the files if anyone knows whats I've done wrong it would be a Ggreat help ty.

Answer 1

Hi,
my various opinions expressed to this much discussed subject, are showing that I prefer a program which works "outside" of the DW. My reason is: for each task in whatever area we work, we search for the experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
So I prefer to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server, by 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.
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.

P.S.
In addition, I'll quote a hint from Nancy O.:
Try toggling Passive and/or Secure FTP on/off.
Your web host might have changed upload requirements to improve security.
Another thing to check is your Anti-virus and Firewall settings. If they are too restrictive, DW may not have permission to connect to the remote server.
