Site definition settings - simple question

When I use Dreamweaver to FTP my site elements via my Mac I
have no problems. Sadly not the case with a PC though. I cannot
connect, yet all the site definition settings are the same as for
my Mac. Is this a simple problem to solve?

As David says, such problems are almost always the result of
Firewall
intervention. You might consider disabling the firewall
altogether if you
are using a Router for your internet connection, since the
router also
provides this functionality.

  • Site definition settings on FTP use in Dreamweaver CS4

    I work on a MackBook Pro, Mavericks OS, with Dreamweaver CS4. In filling in my settings in Site Definition dialog for local site and remote site, sometimes doing a Test I get the message that I am connected, but when I try to upload through Put arrow in Files Window I get the message "FTP error occurred cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Check your connection information."
    I do get the FTP transfer to work sometimes, but then it stops working. I have used a template to set up my pages. Could my settings using the template have something to do with it?

    Definitely not.

  • This might be a simple question.   On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect.  What is = to post?

    This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

    I don't have facebook so I cannot answer but for your personal security, I have asked the hosts to remove your e-mail address.   It is very unwise to publish this.

  • Site definition Help needed....Thanks

    I am working with Dreamweaver 8.  Vista operating system.  My problem is a simple one but I am really
    stuck on it.
    In the past I have learned that to set my site definitions
    to always work OFF line and then transfer changes to my hosing company.  For some reason this has changed to working
    ON line in the ftp:\\ mode.
    I am unable to find a way to get back to the SITE
    DEFINITIONS PAGES to change back to “Edit locally and then upload to remote
    testing server.”  Need help, PLEASE
    Joe

    DW will just give a site a name when you first try to define
    a site. That pop-up box which says those names should give you the
    option to click in the text areas and change the name and path to
    whatever you wish.
    To answer your questions I will say the following:
    1 - To do this would would serve no purpose I will explain
    why with the answer to #2.
    2. I wouldn't recommend putting only C:\ in the local root
    folder box. That would potentially cause issues down the road
    because then DW would have access to work in the WINDOWS directory
    and this is not good. I would highly recommend keeping it in your
    user account on Windows XP (this is anything inside the
    C:\Documents and Settings\Username folder, which includes your My
    Documents folder). Now to jump back to #2. Without defining a
    proper directory you would not be able to use its functions for
    PHP, ASP or any server-side script. You would also not be able to
    insert Flash files onto your web pages nor would you be able to use
    the new features such as Spry. This is because DW needs a folder to
    work in so that it can create the associated files and folders
    which accompany making those types of scripts and functions. You
    don't necessarily need to connect it to a remote website if you do
    not have one, but you do need to specify a local folder to work in
    and I would highly recommend it. Thus defining the Name only gives
    the site definition a way for you to reference the site, even if it
    is for testing many sites. For instance I put my sites in a folder
    called "Sites" and then inside that folder I have many subfolders
    which are defined sites in Dreamweaver. Each folder has a name
    which corresponds to it that DW sees.

  • Site Definition Help - Please

    Dreamweaver in CS3 on Windows XP Prof: Very very beginner:
    Before I've chosen a folder or site or anything:
    When I begin to define a site - in the Site Definition window
    - in Site name: box, "Unnamed Site 2" always appears;
    In the 'Local root folder:' box, the words C:\My
    Documents\Unnamed Site 2\ always appears as does C:\
    Why? and how do I change this so that no site name at all
    appears in the 'Site name:' box?
    Why? and how do I change this so that only C;\ appears in the
    'Local root folder:' box.
    Thanks to anyone for any help

  • Pretty simple question regarding headphones.

    Hey everybody. I want one of the new shuffles as a secondary iPod, however, I just got a new pair of Bose in-ears and there's no way I'm letting them go to waste. I guess I have a few simple questions anyone who already has a new shuffle can easily answer:
    1. Does playback immediately start upon switching the switch to either shuffle or straight through? and
    2. Can you plug in the apple headphones, adjust the volume to an acceptable level, select a playlist, etc., then switch out to third party headphones to listen?
    As for an adapter, there's no way I'm spending money on accessories for an $80 mp3 player. Sorry Apple...

    Yes
    Basically, when you unplug the apple headphones, or even turn it off after you've set what you want it'll keep your 'settings' but stop playing.
    When you plug in your own headphones, you just need to switch it off and on again to continue playing where you left off.
    Awkward, but possible. Btw, the new shuffle audio quality and playlist handling is definitely an improvement over the 2nd gen shuffle. Basically the player is better all round.
    It's just the lack of a headphone adapter that lets it down.

  • Site definitions stored where? os x

    I need to migrate my site definitions and settings.
    Unfortunately I am unable to export import from Dreamweaver due to
    a problem with my old computer.
    (An iMac G4 with a dead screen. So I am only able to access
    the data on the HD by booting it up as an external firewire drive
    to my new Mac.)
    I am unable to run the old version of Dreamweaver in order to
    perform the standard export / import process.
    So the question is:
    where does Dreamweaver store the site configuration data so I
    can drag and drop from the old comp to the new,
    thank u

    It depends on what version of DW you are running. In DW8,

  • A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

    Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
    Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
    Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
    Cheers

    I have the origina iPhone.
    Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
    Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
    My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

  • Jbutton to open a htm file in browser - simple question

    not sure where to look for this, but its a simple question
    I just want to get a jbutton (from a jFrame)to open a local htm page eg:
    When pressing the button open:
    C:\Documents and Settings\****\My Documents\profile.htm
    - Open this with any browser
    any pointers to look in the right direction, couldn't find it with search
    I dont want to use a JEditorPane to display the htm, just open any browser

    I also wont be able to use it to open an local file which will be set up differently on each computer:
    C:\\Documents and Settings\\***\\My Documents\\JavaProjX\\Preview\\profile.htmI want to use just: Preview\\profile.htm so it opens from the same location with different users, but
    try { Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE Preview\\profile.htm");}
         catch(IOException e) { System.out.println("could open IE");}opens: http://preview/profile.htm (incorrect location)
    I have just found I can use System.getProperty("user.dir"); to get the location of my program (i think)

  • To decide save site as a template, web template or site definition

    hi,
    I have to create a generic site template which has few tabs in the home page and on click of these links/tabs
    in this site template it will navigate to the sub sites created under that[this generic site template shud contain 3 sub sites -
    [1 blog, 1 search center sub site, meeting workspace as tabs in the site template’s top navigation] and
    a) 2 Doc Libs
    b) 2 splists by default present in this site template [ most prob. its a team site template]
     What should be the correct approach for creating this site template:
     I have thought of implementing using:
     a) save site as a template and upload this wsp into the solution gallery. and based on this site template
    i will create new subsites. one problem i will be facing is that, mine is a publishing site template not team site template.
     b) create a  web template having the above subsites and doc libs and splists
     c) last option is to create a  site definition [ complex ]
    which one should i choose, assuming that, there would be future changes from customer side in the
    site template.like, adding a new splist, sp doclic or a new custom web part.
    in that case, adding a new addtion to the already existing site template will not affect/reflect the already running
    sites' content.
    only those new sites which is created  based on the updated site template would be having the new additions 
    implemented.
      help is highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    From your description, the most concern you might have is that customers will have the requirements to add other components into their sites and created with them afterwards.
    Since SharePoint 2010, it is recommended to take use of something like “a la carte” pattern to manage SharePoint sites. If there are needs to add sites, lists or other components,
    we can make them as solution(.wsp) and deploy to our sites. By doing this, we will be more flexible and easier to manage the features and structure of sites.
    So you can just create a site template with simple structure and deploy the solutions you want after sites created.

  • Simple question .... how to add photos to the body of my EMAILS -Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird

    Simple question - How do I add photos to the body of my emails . But instead of the answer - Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question in anyway. Why does it have to be so hard to get a simple answer to a simple question?
    Thunderbird is acting much like Microsoft, the every reason I dumping MS Live Mail.

    First of all, much help for Thunderbird refers to menus which may not be visible. It would help you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.
    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html
    So, open a write window. Enable its menu and toolbar(s).
    Now do you see an "Insert" option?
    If not, you may be set to compose in plain text, which does not support embedded images.
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select account}|Composition & Addressing''' and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" is ticked. If it wasn't already ticked, go back to composing a message. Any better now?
    Once you have HTML composition mode going, you can use '''Insert|Image''' or various permutations of copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop into your message body.

  • Can I store my Dreamweaver site definitions on an external drive?

    I just purchased 2 brand new iMacs (one for office and one for home) to replace my old MacBook Pro. I am now moving all of my client files to an extranal hard drive so that I can share the same exact files in both locations. I just realized it won't be that easy with Dreamweaver because of the site definitions, which are stored locally on the computer.
    Is there a way for me to move and store site definitions of the external hard drive. If so, can you provide detailed instructions on how to do this. I am paranoid about losing important data!
    I am also assuming that Dreamweaver looks in a specific place for site definitions, so I'll need to 'train' it to look on my external hard drive to find them (if that's even possible).
    Thank you SO much, in advance!
    Jackie

    I think the OP was wondering if there could just be a single location that held the site definitions andnthat both computers would read when DW was launched on either machine to populate the site list.
    Just clarifying the question, but that can't be done so Nancy's instructions are what needs to be done. Each computer will maintain it's own list of defs, but being able to export and import makes it a little easier.  Part of my workflow when setting up a site involves making an immediate export of the site def in a location that is being backed up. I also keep another secure file of FTP info as an added layer - just because there was ne particular web host that included special characters in the UserID, which did not retain in the site definition.  I don't mind having to do this, but I wish you could export the entire list and not have to do one at a time.
