Problem with sFTP with Dreamweaver CS4

SFTP won't work with my DW CS4. Login is successful when I use FTP but as soon as I check the box for sFTP it won't work. The same login using SFTP in Filezilla works fine too. I called my host and they said to use port 2222 (which works with Filezilla). Have no idea if there's a way to change this in DW.
I know DW is notoriously known to be a poor FTP client. Please help. SFTP is so much more secure than FTP and is a must. Thanks!

"Note: Port 21 is the default port for receiving FTP connections, however server administrators sometimes change the port setting to another port to prevent unauthorized FTP access. In those situations, you can append a colon and the port number to the FTP host entry. For example, if the port is 29, you would enter ftp.mindspring.com:29."

Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

Hi
out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
I did this tutorial with the same result
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

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

Problem insert media flv dreamweaver cs4 cs5

Hello
im creating website and something happen and now when i inset media FLV it doesn't. it shows many buttons like 4 play buttons, 4 pause buttons.

Hi
I'm writing because exactly the same thing happened to me on my G5 PowerMac in DW CS4. I've read a few other threads where Adobe haven't managed to solve the problem yet have somehow managed to close the threads. Is this; trying to brush the problem under the carpet a bit?
Anyhow, just before the same issue happened to me, I got an error message that when it came up I thought to take a snapshot of it which I enclose below. Additionally I had downloaded a newer copy of iTunes and also VLC softwares just prior to this annoying problem starting.
In the past, I was advised by Adobe to put the plist prefs in the bin, then not actually empty the bin but make a new installation so these would get re-made and possibly cause problems to get fixed. So far I haven't done this yet but have made a new installtion of DW CS4 but this problem still exists.
So my message is to any senior Adobe DW specialist reading this; Can you fix this? Do you know what is causing it to happen? How best to make a complete installation of DW so that we can get this glitch fixed please? Should we delete the prefs as well?
My FLV file was made in Squeeze software by the way, but has the icon from VLC as I like to open up the FLVs in this software.
Best regards
Paul

Uploading 450 KB with SFTP impossible

Can anyone confirm that it's possible to upload a file with
more than 450
KB with SFTP in Dreamweaver CS4? At least I don't manage. I
see the
"Background File Activity" window trying to upload the file
and then
"Waiting for server...". At the same time I can see the file
size growing
on the server. Thus the data is received and stored. However
Dreamweaver
says it's waiting for the server. I don't know what's waiting
for but at
some point it stops waiting and cancels the transmission. Now
the very
same file is transferred successfully if I use FTP. Is this a
known
problem?

Ah, good to know that Adobe is trying to fix these issues.
The previous
Dreamweaver version I had used extensively was MX 2004. And
even back then
FTP support was horrible in my opinion. I never tried SFTP in
MX 2004
though.

I see. I'd like to benefit from the synchronizing feature in
Dreamweaver
though.

Issue with font dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
i have a powerbook with tiger and dreamweaver 8, and also i have a mbp with leopard and dreamweaver cs4.
My issue is with font rendition .. i mean, i setup both system a software with the same parameters, code view in Dreamweaver with Monaco at 8pt, and in Look (System preferences) disable antialiasing for font smaller than 8pt. The issue is the with configuration the code appears in two different ways. With powerbook the view is fine, instead on mbp the font is like with antialising and it appears out of focus.. why does it happen?
The only different thing is the screen resolution 1440x960 against 1400x900..
Do you have any suggestion? Or code font to suggest..
Many thanks

On the MBPro, open FontBook, select the font, then from the Menu Bar, click File/Validate Font and see if that helps.

Template url problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi there,
Thank you very much for reading this post. I am having a problem with templates in Dreamweaver CS4, I am following the correct procedures to build a template, but when I link the pages together and update the template, the url has not been changed/updated on the child pages.
Here is an example:
Template:
../content/section/pagename.html
Child Page:
/section/pagename.html
Missing out the first part of the link, when the pages are loaded, obviously, they are not going to the correct part of the website
Please, can anybody give me some advice, as this problem is very quickly, driving me mad.
Thank you.
John

I observe this problem too on my Vista x64 machine with CS4
using dual monitors and split code/design views, and have found
others who have this problem by searching Google.
Description of problem: Roughly 50% of the time, when
switching between files (regardless of type) and trying to select a
block of code with my mouse (dragging over some code with the left
button), it appears to work normally (the intended code is
highlighted). However, when then attempting to CTRL-C (cut) or
paste, the selected code instantly changes to a much larger block
of code (usually selecting a specific div block or something). The
cut or pasted code is then the larger (unintended) block of code.
Once the code view selection works for a particular file
(either it worked from the start or I poked at it long enough to
work), it seems to remain working until switching to another file
and then returning.
Also, Dreamweaver CS3 didn't have this problem, so it's CS4
only.
This is a workflow nuisance much like a word-processor
deciding to insert a % character randomly every 10 seconds while
typing.
I found a Google groups thread
here
in which a poster writes that deleting the Dreamweaver
configuration file fixes this temporarily (the problem eventually
shows up again, and you lose all your customizations by doing
this). The posters in this thread also describe the same problem
with other hardware configurations.
My current workaround is to type return then backspace when
dropping in to the code-view of another file--kind of a pain, but
at least predictable. I also tried avoided the issue by: (a)
selecting something in the design view and then selecting something
in the code view, and/or (b) telling Dreamweaver to show the
"element view" (right click in design view, element view, Full),
but this latter action may be superfluous.
I'd be very interested if someone were to post a simple fix
for this problem.
thanks!
JP
PS. David: I've learned a lot from your books. Thanks for
writing them!

Wrong App. Bar in Dreamweaver CS4

Hello,
Really need help on this one!
I just crashed Windows7 and had to reinstall, along with it my Dreamweaver CS4.
It's fine except the Application Bar across the top FILE, EDIT, VIEW, etc. has been replaced with
"menus/DWMenuFile | menus/DWMenuEdit | menus/DWMenuView", AND the pull down for each
has MANY sub-menus with "Menus/DWMenu" EXTREMELY annoying.
How did this happen and how can I get back to my "plain vanilla" application bar as I've been accustomed
to since CS2!
There's very little help out there for this issue, I WOULD REALLY appreciate anyone that can help with this!
Thank you!
Gary Brant

I figured it out with some help from your group.
I had to delete both CONFIG. files which are found under:
Corrupted file cache
Dreamweaver creates a cache file called WinFileCache-********.dat or
MacFileCache-********.dat inside your personal Dreamweaver configuration
folder (the asterisks represent a series of letters and numbers that might
differ from computer to computer). This occasionally gets corrupted causing
instability, unpredictable error messages, and even crashes.
To solve the problem, close Dreamweaver and delete WinFileCache-********.dat
or MacFileCache-********.dat. Sometimes, deleting this file is not
sufficient, and you need to delete your personal configuration folder in its
entirety.
I had to actually delete the personal config folder, which rebuilt when I
relaunched DW, and all is fine!
It's a great fix, and easy!
Thank you so much,
Gary

AppCrash Dreamweaver CS4

Several APPCRASH daily with Dreamweaver CS4 for several months and no solution will support work.
I am under 64 bit Windows 7 before I was on Vista Pro, it was the same thing.
If you're running Windows and iMac,
Did you this same problem withthe versions:
1 - Dreamweaver CS4 Web Pack Premuim,
2 - Dreamweaver CS4 purchased separately pack WebPremuim
3 - Updating a suite dreamweaver CS3 or Studio 8
4 - Buy the full version software.
If you do not have this problem could you tell me on what OS you are working on windows or mac and what version.
thank you to you
Alain

In my experience, 99% of crashes in dreamweaver are caused by
3rd party extensions.
Remove all of your extensions and see what happens. Add them
back one at a time until you find the trouble maker.
CS4 breaks a lot of the old extensions, and causes javascript
errors since thats how extensions are written. Hope that
helps!

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:
Per scaricare il software è necessario installare Akamai Download Manager...
Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem
Thus, I have followed this rules in Akamai Download Manager System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 7
1) Access your Internet options from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Options) or by selecting Tools > Internet Options in Internet Explorer
2) Select the Security Tab
3) Click Custom Level
4) Scroll through the list of security options and set:
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Download signed ActiveX controls > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting > Enable or Prompt
-Downloads > File download > Enable
-Miscellaneous > Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints > Enable
-Scripting > Active scripting > Enable
5) Click OK
6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!
Horsepower0171.

another option you may have is resettofactory
start- run- type:
cmd
press enter
type:
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter
type:
loader.exe /resettofactory
press enter
please perform a backup first
test your browser before you restore your backup, and to be ssafe I would do a selective restore
open DTM, go to backup/restore- advanced
top left click on file-open
find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 . When I try to use the bold button the text completely dissapears from the screen in design view The text is still there as it shows up in preview and also shows up in code view. Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os
There are a number of known compatibility issues with Creative Suites and Lion
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Can't see your specific issue mentioned though.
Perhaps report it to Adobe via the Bug Report form giving full details

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

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
