Settings correct but can't connect via ftp in DW

Hello,
My client just downgraded from an advanced hosting package to a standard hosting package at network solutions.
I can not connect to the server using ftp in dreamweaver. I have called the host and verified all of the connection information ad nauseum
with no success.. I am using Adobe CS3. Network Solutions insists that it is a DW problem which I doubt because Network Solutions
is the only host that I ever seem to have a problem with..
But the person there insisted that It is a DW problem because I was able to connect (using the username and pw) through a browser.
Has anyone ever had a problem such as this with Dreamweaver. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Your help would be most appreciated.
thank you.
Elizabeth

I have experienced some problems with DW's FTP feature through several versions of DW and several different hosts. My general conclusion is that it works well with some FTP server configurations and not with others. IMHO, it IS DW's implementation since in every case, I can transfer files with other FTP programs. I have never bothered to try to troubleshoot it down to the minute differences between servers, though.
I prefer using an external FTP program anyway (not a Web browser). In fact, when I first started using DW, I preferred the OS's built-in command line FTP client. There are many FTP client programs available for all operating systems and priced from free to enterprise level. My preferred is WS_FTP Pro (Windows), but I've heard good things about CuteFTP, FileZilla, and others.
So I guess that's my suggestion. Use an external program when DW doesn't work.

  • I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8?

    I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8? Any ideas for a fix?

    iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
    With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
    If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected?

  • 4150L - Works on web, but can not connect via VPN or Remote Desktop

    Recently purchased a 4150L and installed the latest firmware.  We have been able to access all public websites without any problems.  But, when we try and access our customers computers via VPN (various types) or Remote Desktop, we can't connect.  We can sign-in to VPN, but when we try and access the computer, it says "can't connect".  Exact same message with Remote Desktop.   We are able to connet when use a Verizon phone as a hotspot and from every other internet service that we have tried (i.e. hotels, starbucks, etc.)   It appears it is an issue with the 4150L.
    Verizon Tech Support has been no help!
    All ideas are appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Skip,
    VPN traffic should be allowed through on the MiFi 4510L by default.  I know I do not have any issues with mine on either the Cisco IPSec or Cisco SSL VPN Clients.
    If Verizon DNS is interferring then perhaps you could try to connect to your VPN via a direct IP Address instead of a URL.  Not sure what VPN client you have but there should be a No DNS option to connect if you know the correct IP.  You could also try switching your DNS to one of the free ones such as the one offered by Google or any of the others.
    VPN's carry alot of overhead on existing connections in my experience.  Its not untypical to have a 3G connection cut in half when a VPN is applied.  Try running a speed test to make sure your connection is atleast 1 MB on download before initiating a connection.  If the performance of the MiFi is too poor in that area it may never be stable enough to support a connection.  Feel free to post some Speedtest.net averages so we can see what you are working with.
    Something to note about the MiFi 4510L is that it is on the SIM card network.  That means that NAT is always going to be an issue and block your users from providing a truely public IP Address.  Directly remoting to them through any means will be nearly impossible.

    I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.'

    Hello Els,
    it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
    To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
    To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm 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.
    And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. 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
    Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
    http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
    Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter
    P.S.
    Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • D-Link wireless + Cable Internet:: can't connect via AirPort

    Just got my service changed from DSL to Cable and can't connect via wireless (but can with an Ethernet cable). Have tried the Wi Router settings to no avail. Any ideas? I think I might not be doing some setting in the comp correctly. Please help. Router is D-Link DIR-625.

    Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.

  • Problem with AppleWorks documents when connecting via ftp to my server

    When I connect over the internet using ftp to my mac mini server (using OS X server 10.4.10) from my iMac G4 (using 10.4.10) all my AppleWork docs will only appear as .bin instead of .cwk.
    If I download one to my G4, it will try to open using stuffit expander but cannot be opened. It comes up with “An error ocurred attempting to expand name.bin unspecified Stuffit Engine internal error” Error #17999
    However Microsoft Word docs show correctly and can be downloaded and opened without problem.
    When I try directly on the server or try from any computer on the local network conected to the server, everthing views correctly and can be opened.
    Could it be to do with any settings on the server when connecting by ftp.
    Thanks for the help.

    One problem still remains that when I download minicad files (which uses OS 9) they show up as .exe and will not open or recognisable by the programme
    I imagine the file is transferring without a suffix and your computer is trying to guess what it is; hence the .exe. Delete this and append the suffix for the correct program and it should open (or use File>Open within the program).

  • Can't connect via PPPoE in menu bar

    Hello,
    After not touching my Network Configuration settings for like three years, a glitch in my Unison 1.8.1 newsreader prompted me to go in to check, but I then encountered the prompt that has been afflicting lots of people: "Network settings have been changed by another application."
    So after some research here and via Google, I deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist and restarted the computer with the file still in the trash.
    I then manually reentered my ISP Network Configuration info (TCP/IP and PPPoE, as I use ADSL), but since then, I have only been able to connect via the Internet Connect program, rather than my preferred method that I've always used of connecting by using the PPPoE drop-down menu "Connect" command in the menu bar in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.
    Going back to System Preferences' Network Configuration, showing the Built-in Ethernet's PPPoE panel, the "Show PPPoE status in menu bar" box remains checked, and indeed does display in the menu bar, however, only with a functioning "Disconnect" command -- NOT the "Connect" command, whose functionality I am seeking to restore.
    I realize this is more of a cosmetic problem, as I can still connect via the Internet Connect program, but would appreciate any tips for restoring the functionality of the PPPoE drop-down menu "Connect" command in the menu bar. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Steve, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Then reboot once more.

  • ITunes (and Airfoil) can see Airport Express but can't connect in Windows XP (error -15000) - firewall problems?

    I am using Windows XP Professional 2002 w/ SP3 on a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop wirelessly connecting to my Airport Express 802.11n (firmware 7.5.2).
    I can see my Airport Express in iTunes 10.4.1 and can select it via the Airplay button. iTunes even detects whether or not a speaker is connected to the Airport Express. But when iTunes tries to connect, it comes back after a while saying "An error occurred while connecting to the Airplay device xxx. An unknown error occurred (error -15000)."
    A similar problem happens with Airfoil from Rogue Amoeba that I use to stream music from other apps such as VideoLAN to Airport Express on the same laptop. I can see that my Airport Express is available but when Airfoil tries to connect, it comes back saying "It appears that a firewall on this computer is preventing Airfoil from connecting to xxx Airport Express. Please check your firewall settings and try again."
    I've set both Airplay and iTunes as exception programs in my Windows Firewall setting, and even added TCP ports 5000 to 5005 and UDP ports 6000 to 6005 to the exceptions as recommended by Airfoil. I've also disabled Symantec Endpoint Protection that Ihave installed. The only thing I can't disable is McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since I also use the laptop at work and I don't have permission to disableMcAfee.  I use this laptop to connect wirelessly with other devices such as HP wireless printers, NAS drives and other laptops on my home network and have never had any issues, so i think that this issue is specific to the Airplay software being blocked by some firewall (I am assuming Airfoil also uses Airplay).
    I've tried this on different wireless networks and I have the same issue with Windows XP on my Dell Latitude E4300. I've also set up the network with no security, but the problem doesn't go away.
    I also tried downgrading iTunes to 10.3.1 but won't work. I think it's an Airplay issue, not a specific iTunes issue, since I'm facing the problem with Airfoil as well.
    How do I trace what is going on that is preventing iTunes and Airfoil from streaming to the AirportExpress within Windows XP?
    I also have another Dell Inspiron laptop on the same network running on Windows Vista, and have no problems streaming music from iTunes or Airfoil to the Airport Express on the same network, even when the network is WPA-2 Personal (TKIP+AES) protected (I've seen other postings where WPA has been an issue, WEP has not, but in my case, this is not an issue). Ditto with my iPad2.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have the same problem with Windows 7 64bit. ITune can see AE and stream Music well. Airfoil, TuneBlade (airplay soft) can also see AE but can't connect and stream music. I ' ve already tried to setup firewall Exception list, even turning off firewall off both windows and antivirus but still got the same problem with the message 'Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker " ... 's Airport Express". Please check the firewall on the computer where " ...'s Airport Express" is running and try again'. Any help would be appreciated !.

  • Can't connect to ftp on business catalyst

    Hi,
    I also have this same exact issue.
    In Dreamweaver CC......
    I go to Site and Manage Sites.  I click the "Import Business Catalyst Site" button.  At this point, I am prompted for my Adobe Creative Cloud username and password (which happens to be the exact login and password I login to the Business Catalyst Administration Portal with).  I am then greeted with a list of my BC Sites.  I select the site I desire, select a directory to store my files, and the site is created.   I then try to connect to the FTP server and it is a no go.   I have tried the connection from 2 Different Windows 8.1 computers.
    My settings in Dreamweaver CC are imported automatically.  I have also tried changing the wordsecuresystems.com to businesscatalyst.com and it does not work either.
    Connect Using: SFTP
    SFTP Address: mydomain.worldsecuresystems.com

  • AE is green and seen but can't connect PPPoE

    My ae light is green, the network sees it but can't connect to the net. The isp is fine if i plug the wire into the machine, it works. The settings for the airport are identical to the wired. i've downgraded from 6.2 to 6.11 but still no connection. the problem seems to be that the airport express either can't sync or won't connect to the isp. I've also tried powering off the ae and modem in different orders powering on each one in order with the computer last to no avail. i'm running 10.4.2. help pleez

    Glad to hear you got it working!
    Firmware version 6.2 has well-known problems with ISPs that require use of the PPPoE protocol, and downgrading to firmware version 6.1.1 is what solved the problem for you. Firmware version 6.2 is no longer available from Apple's web site, but many people got it previously as part of the Airport 4.2 update where it lurks as a time bomb waiting for people to finally give in to the Airport configuration utility's request to upload that update to their Airport Express.
