Unable to view files on my local site folder

I've set a new Testing site in Dreamweaver CC and directed the local view to a current folder which has all my files on. However when in Dreamweaver I can't view the majority of the files and am therefore unable to load to my testing server or change the code within a file.
I've tried reloading the local folder, moving it around but each time I go to Dreamweaver the files do not show in the files box.
I have a couple of other sites directed to local folders and they seem to be ok although on checking there does seem to be a similar issue with one folder.
How do I get Dreamweaver to recognise all the local folders and the files I specify and allow me to change them?
I have looked at FAQ's and other questions but cannot find an answer although it may well be in there somewhere.
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Here are two screen prints;
first is what is seen in DW from the testing server, the second as seen in DW from local server.
I have checked the directory of the testing server and all files are there, just not showing in DW.
The local root folder path is C:\00-MAP Website-Local.
I've checked the folder and hidden files is clear.

How do I place files I used to create a website into Dreamweaver's Local site folder?

I designed a site years ago for a client. Now when I open the site in DW, the images aren't linked because there are no files in the local site folder. It must be easy - I'm just no finding the solution on my own. Thank you

Sounds like someone moved the files out of the local site folder, probably using the OS rather than DW's Files window.
DW just manages files on your computer, it doesn't store your files in the program. So you will have a folder somewhere on your machine with the same name that appears when you hover over the root folder at the top of your Files window in DW. You can also find the folder name under Site > Manage Sites > click the site you are working with > Site > Local Site Folder.
You need to find that folder on your desktop, then find the images that are supposed to be in it, and move the images back.

DW CS6 Unable to Find .cgi Files in any Local Site

Hi
I noticed the other day while searching across local websites for particular keywords in DW CS6 that the Find operation could not find them in any .cgi files in any local sites even though the keywords do exist in the .cgi files. I made sure that the Find had the entire sites as the target for searching. It seems odd that when DW CS6 can open .cgi files its Find cannot find keywords in them.
Have other users experiened the same problem? Let me know.
Best,
Ead

Unable to view files on iPhone

I am unable to view files that I have saved in my adobe cloud storage on my iPhone. I save a file in my cloud account at adobe and when i pull up the Adobe Reader app, I can see the file listings, but when I try to open a file, nothing comes up.

"...when i pull up the Adobe Reader app, I can see the file listings, but when I try to open a file, nothing comes up."
Do you see anything on the screen?
Or is the screen completely blank (actually, white)?

Using environment variable in local site folder filespec

Configuration: Dreamweaver CC 2014.1; Windows 7
I have quite a few sites defined in Dreamweaver and would like to define the folder locations using environment variables so thst if I decide to reorganize my disk (again) I can just redefine the variable instead of having to modify each of the site definitions. For example, instead of W:\dw\site\, I would like to specify %dw_root%\dw\site\ (where dw_root is defined as "W:"
Attempting to save a configuration with this filespec fails with the error: The local site folder path must be absolute.
I copied the path from the DW configuration dialog box and pasted it into a DOS window as the filespec of a DIR command to confirm the syntax was valid.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work?
Thanks.

Very unlikely. DW won't tolerate special characters (%&*~).

Unable to share files over the local network, OS X Lion

About two weeks ago, my coworker and I realized that we were no longer able to share files over the local network. We have not made any changes to our preference settings. We are able to access FileMaker Pro databases files located on another computer in our office via the network, but we are unable to access any other files by trying to login to the computer remotely. We also have internet access. I am able to login to each of our work computers form home, but not from the office. I'm am not sure what has changed, but it is important that we have the ability to share files at work. Can you give me directions on how to fix our problem. Thanks!

I had this problem when I first setup my Mac. One thing I know is that File Sharing in System Preferences doesn't necessarily need to be on, because iTunes does all of the networking itself.
I know that you've checked and checked again on the firewall, but what I did was turn the firewall on. In the list of ALLOW, there should be a line that is labeled iTunes Music Sharing. Check it. It was the magic link, and all of my iTunes libraries on the three computers in the house (two Windows, one my Mac) could "see" each other.
Turning on the firewall might seem strange, but it worked for me.
I hope this helps.

Unable to view files from windows share

Hi guys,
I am wondering if you can help me out. I have 10 mac ocnnected to a windows domain. Five machinies are OSX 10.5.8 and five are OSX 10.6.8. The problem I am having is I can connect to the windows share via smb but I am unable to view the files. I can connect the server and see the folder listings but I am unable to view the contents of each directory. The users permissions are fine as they can log into a windows PC an are able to access the files as needed. I have tried different user accounts and all are getting the same issue. Each account has admin rights as well. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue before?
Thanks in advance!

Published files work on local site but not on remote site

the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.
how should this flash newbee diagnose the problem? --david

The source for the video seems to be hardcoded to your local drive. You will need to change this to a relative path, or hardcode it to the server location.
Here is the error my debugging player displayed:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file http://jdavidellis.com/channel19movies/wmv_medium.swf cannot access local resource C:\Documents and Settings\D\My Documents\Web Sites\channel19movies\flv_test_files_for_web_site_3nov09\512x288_15fps_221kbps_1min.flv.

Download of an Existing Site Results in Locked Files in Local Site Folder

Newbie question running DW on a Mac --
Running Dreamweaver CS6 on new MacBook Pro OS 10.7.4.
Need to revise a site I had been maintaining with Contribute 4 -- have to use DW CS6.
Succeeded in downloading the whole remote site with minimum issues, but when I start to edit from the Local Site, I find all of the files locked.
Can I just change the permissions with Get Info, or is this a Dreamweaver lock requiring special actions?
thanks

How to setup new site in dreamweaver if not working with Local Site Folder?

Dear All,
I am working with a website design (wordpress) project with a group of people, since we are working together on the same design, our developing site is not located in the local folder but on remote server, but I can't setup the website in DW if the developing site is not located locally.
Is there any way to do the development on remote server with DW, and what will be the site setup setting for it?
thanks for any reply.

Sharing a "Local" site is a recipe for disaster vis-a-vis file versioning. The best way to avoid these problems is to have three locations defined:
1. A local site (truly local to your computer, although it can be on a network, shared drive).
2. A staging site (this would be the intermediate holding site for partially finished work.
3. A production site (this would be where the final versions of files are pushed).
Enable DW's Checkin/Checkout facility. Each of you would checkout files from the staging server, and when finished editing, checkin those same files to the staging server. Thus, you are not sharing a local site - you are sharing a remote file repository, which is your gold standard source for version protected files.
Make sense?

How to properly get folders, files into Dreamweaver Defined Site Folder from desktop

I, obviously am a new Dreamweaver user, and I need to know
the proper way of going about getting a folder, files, ect. from my
hard drive into my Dreamweaver defined site folder. I understand
how to insert an image from my hard drive into DW and it shows up
in my site folder in the Files Panel. More specifically, using
Lightbox2, after downloading Lightbox and placing those elements in
a new folder on my hard drive, what is the proper way to get that
folder into my site folder?
Also, how can I properly add images to an images folder in my
site folder in DW for possible later use, without inserting them on
the page. I know by inserting them on the page from a folder on my
hard drive, Dreamweaver prompts me for DW to recognize them. I
would like to know how I can get them in there and DW to recognize
them without actually inserting them on my page.
And can and how can I move files, images, pages from one site
to another? or should I? Thanks, if anyone can help me with these
file moving questions.

To restate courtney's explanation, *anything* that you paste
into the site's
local root folder will appear in DW's File panel, and will be
considered by
DW to be a part of the site.

Unable to view files after using "Migration Asst".

I "migrated" my files from my old G4 to my new MacBookPro. Now I CANT VIEW my old files on my new Mac. I get a msg that says, "The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." The files all have a red-sign. This applies to all the files I had transferred.
What I've done so far: I tried renaming my old G4 to match my new MacPro, but it did the same thing above. Migration Asst makes it sound so easy, (and basically it was) to transfer files, but it appears to me that a new "account name" is automatically set-up for the migration. I just want ONE ACCT, and to be able to read the files that have been transferred.
What did I do wrong?
THANKS!

Unable to view files on PC laptop with XP

I want to be able to view my laptop (XP SP3) files on my Mac (OS X 10.6.7), but it is not happening. I am trying to set up a wireless network. I've set everything up on the PC to enable sharing (created a workgroup, set sharing permissions, etc.) I know the 2 computers can see each other, since I have "ping'd" them successfully. But when I try to "connect to server" from the Mac I get a message indicating that "the server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time." I know I have the IP address correct (I've also tried using PC name, as well as the name and file. It seems like it should be so easy, and I must be missing something. But what is it?

You can find some good guides on sharing with WIndows XP here:
http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/tp/filesharingmacwin.htm
The guides refer mostly to Leopard, but it should work find with Snow Leopard.
