When will Adobe fix Dreamweaver's FTP module?

Dreamweaver's FTP module has sucked really bad ever since I started using it back in version 3 when Macromedia owned it.
I use passive FTP mode and have tried every other trick and method suggested to me over the years but here is my problem.
Fetch works perfectly, ALL of the time... The only time I get a problem with a server timing out, it is because the server ACTUALLY TIMED OUT or was unavailable.
95% of the time with Dreamweaver's crappy FTP client, I have to constantly disconnect and re-connect to EVERY ftp server I connect to, in order to get the stupid timeout status bar to stop displaying over and over again. Dreamweaver constantly times out when uploading even a single file to an FTP server, and sits there hanging up on the connection over and over again.
I am greatly disappointed that version CS4 is just as crummy as all previous versions of Dreamweaver.
Just Google "Dreamweaver FTP sucks" and you will see I am not alone with my dislike of this FTP client.
I will continue to use Fetch for most of my needs, but it would be convenient to be able to use the "PUT" button in dreamweaver from time to time without locking up the program in the process.

Wow, a lot of response since that original post.
I've been a web professional for the last 13 years and have been using Dreamweaver since version 2. The FTP client has always been a buggy "POS." I have worked with tons of developers and designers who all agree, that is why pros use a dedicated FTP client like FileZilla in tandem.
I just think it would be nice to be able to hit the "put" button while I am working on a file without having to wait for timeouts and all the garbage that happens in Dreamweaver. There really is no rhyme or reason why these timeout errors happen to me, but I have found over the years that certain FTP sites and / or networks I am on will give me more problems than others.
What is consistent though is that EVERY TIME I have one of these problems in Dreamweaver I can jump to FileZilla and upload the same file without any problems at all.
Now, my question — Is it really THAT difficult for Adobe to create a reliable FTP sub-program inside of Dreamweaver since they have had several years since they bought Macromedia to do so? You would think it not to be that difficult considering the complexity of most of the software in their suite.
All of the file management in Dreamweaver sucks. Their implementation of SVN is pretty much completely useless as I have tried using it more than once and always revert back to command line or Cornerstone to do my version control. I can't imagine the future rollout of FTPS to actually work at this point.
Other than those issues I really like dreamweaver but I am getting to the point I may just jump ship and use a code editor like BBedit or something along those lines. Its hard to break old habbits and the workflow you are used to though.
Has anyone tried out CS 5.5? Is it any better? I am running CS 5 and there is no difference in the FTP client from previous versions in that respect.

  • When will Adobe fix 'Acrobat not launch after 30 days' issue?

    For several users at our company this is a major problem.  For myself as well because I have had to reinstall CS6 multiple times for the same user.  This is not a permanent solution.
    When will there be a permanent fix for this dear Adobe?

    Hi NBQuery,
    Adobe has already released a patch to fix the same.
    Please refer the KB doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html
    and install the patch. It will definitely fix the issue you are facing.

  • Smike47's problem is not isolated. We have same problem. When will Adobe fix the problem?

    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Registration Popup occurs every time Adobe is opened.
    Tremendous waste of time/money.
    Come on Adobe. You are smarter than this!

    OK, one important point of information you did not provide was the subversion of AA8. If you are using AA8.0 for instance, you have a lot of updates to do that may very likely fix the problem. It seems to have been resolved a long time ago for others (I have not heard about his in about 2 or more years) and the updates may resolve the issue. Version 8 is about at 8.4.3 as I remember off hand -- in any case a lot beyond 8.0.

  • I have Elements 12. It's an upgrade in most respects from the old CS2 I used for years. Except there is apparently no measuring tool. How can this be; is there a plug-in, or will Adobe fix the problem?

    I have Elements 12. It's an upgrade in most respects from the old CS2 I used for years. Except there is apparently no measuring tool. How can this be; is there a plug-in, or will Adobe fix the problem? Anyone know a way around this glaring omission?

    Hello again. When I said PSE 12 was an upgrade on CS2, I meant that simply from an informal point of view - and it is: it's better software in most respects. In expert mode, the features and functions are much the same as in the CS2 I had before, but enhanced and slicker. Less 16 bit colour depth and a few other things of course. Unfortunately, as it now transpires, the "few other things" has turned out to include the measuring feature.
    Thanks for the work-around - only problem is ... to what Info Panel are you referring when using the line tool? I've looked around but can't see the line length being shown anywhere. Thanks in advance for any light you might be able to cast on it.
    Incidentally, I upgraded my written-off Canon D5 MK II with a D6. To me it's an upgrade - it's a much better camera - though by the letter of the law, the strict upgrade path would be to a 5D MK III. One can use the word "upgrade" in this informal (but entirely meaningful) sense, I hope, without being sent to prison!!

  • When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

    When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

    There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
    Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
    Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

  • Why there is not an option to unable to 3G and use 2G on iPhone 4S ? It's awful! When will you fix that ?

    Why there is not an option to unable the 3G and use 2G on iPhone 4S ? It's awful! When will you fix that ? What are we gonna do now? I cant believe Apple can do it, like the battery of iPhone 4S is amazing. Everyday I should charge my phone! It doesnt make sense...

    YOu can't disable the camera - this feature came out with IOS 5.
    You will have to set your passcode lock to immediately.  settings - general - passcode lock.

  • When will Adobe issue an update to Camera Raw to include the Olympus E-M 5 MARK II camera?

    When will Adobe issue an update to Camera Raw for CS6 and Lightroom 5 to include the Olympus E-M 5 MARK II camera, does anyone know?

    What I wonder is when folks will start researching their favorite software BEFORE buying a new camera model?
    I have never seen a cart pulling a horse!!
    We know the our software, we know the new camera will be 'ahead' of updates. its the time between that we all seem to just accept. We should not.
    We can go round in circles pointing fingers as to who is to 'blame', thats not the point. The point is, no matter how far you go back, since the advent of digital this has been a problem. Posting on all web sites as far back as I remember contain "when will there be RAW support for xyz?". There are even some on this site back in 2006 asking the same question.
    The interdependent link between camera makers & software vendors is not working properly. They need each other yet don't support each other. Do you think Adobe thought up DNG just as a exercise? From memory it was an attempt to standardize, with an open code, a raw format that was universal. I blame Canikon for not wholeheartedly supporting it. Then the Oly, Panny alliance come along with MFT, an ideal opportunity, but proprietary issues prevail as if they got some sort of advantage from it. They don't IMO.
    Sorry for the rant, got carried away! Its just so frustrating.

  • When will Adobe digital Edition be available for Microsofts Surface (Wondows RT)?

    When will Adobe digital Edition be available for Microsofts Surface (Wondows RT)?

    Probaly never.  It isn't available on any other tablet OSs. 
    You need to install 3rd party apps such as Bluefire, Aldiko, Overdrive or similar to read eBooks. (sometimes they have something pre-installed).
    Unfortuately some of these apps are not yet available for Microsoft Surface; 
    I guess they will be made available when/if Windows RT becomes a mainstream tablet OS.

  • When will Adobe lightroom 5 be available?

    When will Adobe Lightroom 5 be available in the APP Store?

    Fail.
    The Mac App Store policy is not now nor has it ever been "free upgrades for life."
    The Mac apps store policy is that dot point updates are free. Major upgrade releases are paid if the developer so chooses. So if you bought Amazing App 2.0 then all updates, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc., are free. But when amazing App 3.0 comes out, it is a paid app, if the developer wishes to charge for it.

  • When will Adobe allow an artboard preview feature in Illustrator?

    InDesign's solution to hiding graphics outside the artboard is the W key – a simple and highly used feature.
    When will Adobe release this feature for Illustrator? I know there are scripts and other workarounds, but we just need a simple keystroke function.
    Any ideas how to get Adobe moving on this?

  • When will Apple fix the "Show my caller ID" glitch that effects service reception? IOS7 has done nothing if not made it worse

    I have downloaded IOS7 specifically to try and solve this annoying glitch that disables the "Show my caller ID" and effects my service reception, I know it effects it as when I have no service I can guarantee that the "show my caller ID" selection is disabled, when I turn it on miraculously I have service once again.
    Such a stupid little problem that surely is easily rectified.
    When will Apple fix this????

    Thanks for that but unfortunately been there, got the T-shirt, they replaced the phone with a new one, and still happens. I believe from what I have read, it's a software glitch that quite a few people have had problems with.
