Saving the site's FTP login info

I figured out that I can save a MUSE site to the Creative Cloud so I can share site maintenance between my two computers. It works great for making sure a site is kept synced between the two computers. One thing that doesn't get synced is the FTP information. Right now I save a small .txt file in the CC folder with the .muse document so the login information is handy when I need to re-type it.
Is there a trick or tip for having the FTP login information saved within the .muse file so I don't have to re-type it whenever I switch computers?

The key phrase there from the Adobe Staff was "FTP credentials are specific to a given machine+site file+Adobe ID". Everything is true except that it happens when I open it on a different machine. That must be it but it sure is inconvenient when moving back and forth between machines.
Thanks, Gaurav. I think you got it.

DW 8 Not Saving FTP Login Info

From session to session, Dreamweaver site setup is not saving
the ftp username and password info for all of the sites I manage -
a real pain in the ... Any thoughs as to what's going on or is
anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks
Rod Parker

That question is also asked and answered frequently - what is
the name of
your hard drive? Does it begin with any special characters?

DW8 does not save the FTP login info

Since I upgraded to DW8 I have to retype all the FTP login
information every time I try to connect to a remote site.
The "save" check box is checked. I have downloaded the latest
updates. My operating system is xp. What can I do to make DW save
the information?

Updating to 8.0.2 does the job.

Update wipes out ftp login info!

So I just updated Dreamweaver CS5 with the latest updates from Adobe and it wipes out all the ftp user info for each site. What is up with that?!
You think they would have fixed this by now.
Very disappointed.

Hi bernwa,
Sorry for any frustration this may have caused.
Restarting your computer should restore them. See this document for more information:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89053.html

Dreamweaver FTP LogIn Info

Where does Dreamweaver CS5 store FTP log in info for defined sites? I erased by hard drive and reinstalled my operating system, and worked with a senior Apple tech to restore my settings and programs from a Time Machine back up. Dreamweaver is there and working fine, but the site definitions are missing the log-in and passwords to connect via ftp. Where is that info stored? Is there a preferences file somewhere?

Jh100 as Mylenium suggested can you please post your question regarding features of Dreamweaver to the Dreamweaver forum?

Save ftp login info

Is there a setting or patch to make sure that DW does
actually save my remote login info in the site definition box? It
used to save it ok in MX but in 8 every time I open DW I have to
enter uname pword to connect to remote site even though the 'Save'
checkbox is checked? A small but very annoying problem!

A reinstall *should* preserve site definitions, but you can
always export
the sites first using DW's Site Manager, just to be safe.

Why does the site manager create c:\ folders for files that don't belong to the site via FTP?

Hello everyone,
now I've been using Dreamweaver since Ultradev 1.0 and I have just recently upgraded to CS 5.5 Web Edition. Before that I used CS3. I've allways been very satisfied with Macromedia and Adobe products until now
Now I don't know whats happened in the last few years but I am getting the impression that the quality of Dreamweaver used to be alot more stable.
Developing for more than half my life I understand that bugs are usual and that not everything can be cared for, but to be quite honest I also know that there are bugs that just should not happen when you ship a product.
On the other hand I do love some of the enhancements that have come with 5.5, for example the Javascript Framework integration and jQuery code hinting features but what I really cannot understand is why the heck is Dreamweaver automatically uploading files that do not belong to the currently open site to the ftp server? I cannot think of any scenario in which this would be appropriate behaviour. I'd understand it if the files somehow contained links (CSS, JS, PHP, etc.) to the currently open site, but they don't! Dreamweaver simply sets out, every now and again, to creating a totally "dumb" folder structure on my ftp servers when I open a file from outside of the site - which I do very often to copy code I used in other projects.
It's just frustrating having to cleanup the ftp servers because Dreamweaver created folders like this "c:\localhost_root_folder\client_folder\client_project_folder\www\.... and so on", and saves a file in there that has nothing to do with the currently open site.
Now I've looked for settings that would supress this behaviour but I could'nt find any.
Also, I really don't want to stop using the automatic upload function because it speeds up development time significantly.
Does anyone know how to work around this issue, or even better, does anyone know why this behaviour is happening and what it's purpose is?
Thanks in advance.
David

... what I really cannot understand is why the heck is Dreamweaver automatically uploading files that do not belong to the currently open site to the ftp server?

Dreamweaver doesn't "automatically upload" anything unless you have it set to on save. This is a bad practice if you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing. You may see it as a time saver, but if you have to go back two or three times and clean everything up, it isn't. Additionally, you select what is uploaded or not uploaded. If you choose to upload the entire root folder every time, then Dreamweaver will upload everything inside it... not automatically, but because you chose it.
As to the "dumb folder structure", when you define a site, YOU and YOU ALONE define the folder structure. If you are working in multiple sites at once (bad practice unless your are extremely meticulous about details) odds are you will sooner or later save a file from one site, with another site open in the Files Panel and Dreamweaver will save the file to the open site, not the one you opened it from (see why it's a bad practice to do this?).
It's just frustrating having to cleanup the ftp servers because
Dreamweaver created folders like this
"c:\localhost_root_folder\client_folder\client_project_folder\www\... .
and so on", and saves a file in there that has nothing to do with the
currently open site.
It reads like you have defined a testing server and are using it when you put files. C:\localhost is a testing server protocol. If you are testing files and then attempt to put files from the testing server instead of the root folder, they will have the filepath from the testing server and not from the root folder file structure. Again a bad practice unless you are meticulous about details and remember to switch back to the root folder from the testing server panel BEFORE you put files.

Remembering FTP Login info

Is there some secret to motivating Dreamweaver 8 to remember
the FTP login and password? I get tired of having to reedit every
time a I lauch the program.

Why do my homepage settings change to a site I do not want every time I shutdown Firefox - EVEN THOUGH I have gone through the process of saving the site I really want?

I am desparate to set my homepage to http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en
However, even after manually setting it to the site I want, every time I restart Firefox it has reverted to http://www.searchqu.com/406
I have tried every solution that I have found in Firefox help, but to no avail.
I have only recently changed to Firefox and am impressed with the way it works with this one exception, which is driving me mad.
PLEASE, PLEASE can anyone out there help?

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

HT1689 After entering mi card code the site still ask me info about my credit card

After entering my card code the site still asks for credit card info

The $1 charges will not be completed, they will fall off the account in a few days without removing funds as they are the system reaching out to verify that the bank and the account exist and that funds are available. The problem that you are having is likely the billing address. You need to look on a bank statement and enter the address exaclty as printed on the statement; all the same captal letters and puntuation.

FTP Login Gone Everytime I Close DW

Hi,
Every time I close and re-open Dreamweaver all my FTP login
info is gone. (user and password). This just started yesterday. I
have been using this product Dreamweaver CS3 for almost a year
without problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks

the link has now been terminated but from what I remember it was
down to Keychain Access in the Utilities folder.
If you select the 'login' section under Keychains you'll see
a list of password entries with the name of 'Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Site'. These are still named like this now even though I now use
CS4. These were all apparently corrupted and I had to delete them
all.
I then went back to Dreamweaver CS4 and re-entered all my
passwords and logons (a pain I know) for my web sites and upon
quitting and restarting the app it held them. Whatever made them
corrupt in the beginning I don't know but everything's been fine
since.
Hope this helps for Mac users.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I'm using Dreamweaver
CS4 on OS X 10.5.6 (mac). I removed the CS3 keychains and then
started up DW CS4, re-inserted the login and password, made sure
"Save" login info was checked. Then after closing DW CS4 and
re-opening it the login and password were blank. This happens both
at work and at home.
This little annoying bug (that has yet to be fixed by adobe)
makes CS4 almost unusable.

Dreamweaver not storing FTP login

Every time I open Dreamweaver (on Mac) after system start up or even after quitting the program, all of my ftp access info is erase from each site. It remembers the ftp or IP address, but not the login on password.
What's the fix for this?

Publish Calendar to My Own Site (with ftp)

Is there a way to publish an iCal calendar to my own site (with ftp login)?
Thanks in advance
<big>Daniel Gilmour</big>

OK, I just tried using the publish option to my own server and used my ftp login. Everything seemed to work fine, except, when I go to my site where the iCal calendar is located, it just downloads to be put in iCal. Once in iCal, a message saying "this calendar is corrupt" comes up.
