Why is dreamweaver's FTP so slow!!!

Why is Dreamweaver so slow to open up the server-side view of a web site? Thought it was my slow web site or connection. After the script finally timed out claiming the server was taking too long, I tried Transmit.
Guess what? It just POPPED open.
Maybe Adobe could take a close look at Transmit. It's a terrific Mac FTP tool and only costs $25.
Then again, maybe not. They'll probably just buy it and bloat it with features so it won't work either.

that title reminds me of the commercials... this game should be way faster... MOM... this internet connection is SO SLOW! my internet is finally fast... finally... finallyfastdotcom. garbage.
There are many reasons why you could have trouble, and they aren't dreamweaver related. Does dreamweaver have permission to receive traffic through the firewall? Are your using the correct connection type (active/passive)?

Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 slow, hangs, loses passwords... Should I revert to a different version?

I've been using Dreamweaver since version 2 in 1998. These days I use it mostly for editing PHP / HTML / CSS. I don't use the visual editing features much.
With each release, Dreamweaver gets slower and less reliable. I'm at my wits end. This morning:
When using Find: Entire Local Site feature on a relatively large site (about 10,000 pages) the find just stops about 20% through, takes up 100% of my CPU, hangs indefinitely. I have to force-quit.
When opening files that tie in with a substantial javascript framework (e.g. twitter bootstrap) opening files, even bringing the file to focus, saving files, is unbearably slow. I've already turned off Enable Related Files.
For the first time ever, Dreamweaver is now just losing my FTP passwords and I'm having to type them in again from scratch. Might have to do with force-quitting (see #1.)
I'm actively looking for a replacement code editor at this point. So far, nothing quite fits the bill. In the meantime, can anyone recommend a process for getting Dreamweaver to be faster and more reliable? I'm very much willing to downgrade, etc.

> were you opening them in live view or design view
Neither -- I work 100% in code view. That's why I'm fairly intolerant for slowness. I use Dreamweaver as a code/text editor exclusively. I love the way it colorizes, checks syntax, does PHP lookup functions.
> Can you please let us know how many related files like js, css etc are present among your 10000+ files?
I'll do you one better: I'm sending you a private message with a link to download the template + framework I'm using. You should be able to open up any number of files and experience the problem for yourself.
FYI: With my downgraded (2014.0) version, I still get a lot of beach balls simply when bringing focus back to a Dreamweaver document, or when I start typing something new. However saving is now instant again, which is nice.

DreamWeaver CS3 FTP suddenly stops working

About a week ago DreamWeaver's FTP stopped working, for any
of the 25 plus sites I have set up in it. I control the server I am
trying to FTP to, so I know none of the passwords or anything else
has changed. All of the sites have the same error when trying to
connect, which is:
"An FTP error occurred - cannot open remote folder
/public_html/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there
could be a permission problem."
Well the folder does exist, as nothing has changed. I am able
to FTP fine with other FTP apps including CuteFTP, so I know this
is a DreamWeaver specific problem. I tried reinstalling / repairing
DreamWeaver from disc to no avail.
Thanks for any help.....

I'd like to chime in too if I may. Dreamweaver is a very
reliable software client but can anyone really backtrack to the
point where ftp puts GUI to shame? Forgive me but I'm stuck using
Dreamweaver as my sole island of hope for all client/ server
transactions.. I'm not even interested in using one of those 'mini'
clients who's functionality do make your head spin! I'm somewhat of
a freestyle learner so maybe that explains why I've never seen the
host-server designated "public" folder renamed as "public_html"???
I don't even think my webhost would let me rename that folder as
such, I hope that helps!
Thanks,
Nate

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.

@dominic: I did the safe mode start and after the desktop appeard I did nothing and just shut down and start normally again. Is it that? I was thinking that some window should have popped out of nowwhere and give me some diagnose... and tell me what to do... ?
Then after a normal start I did the disk utility thing, I could only verify and not repair since it seems to be ok? :
Then I tried the SMC reset according to the link you sent me, not sure if I did it right cause step 4 and 5 under
Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own
were somehow the same, after I released everything I didnt have to press power button separately (step5), the mac started already (after step4)
@Lex: I'm really wondering about those two old applications
1) I didn't find anything useful about camerawindow or canon tools, except that it helps connecting my canon powershot G15 camera with a smartphone... don't even says if it works with my camera model nor if it works with mavericks...
2) ...Silverlight/OutOfBrowser/SLLauncher.app: Is it needed for what? After looking up it just said useful for webbrowsers, maybe better video quality etc. isn't that something good? if I delete it from my library will there e noteable differences when I use the internet?
besides that i deleted and update like u suggested and did a check again:

Why is the itunes download so slow

why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days. I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.

you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

You have very fast Internet but extremely On Demand Programming Why is that?
Fix it or ill have to go back to Road Runner. My wife runs a Preschool/Daycare and needs Fast On Demand programming because she's very busy with the kids.
She allows them to watch some of the children's programming if they did well in the class work but she doesn't have time to wait for the EXTREMELY SLOW Response.

Memory leakage causes it to run slow. One way to easily fix this is to reboot the box. It will automatically reallocate memory. To reboot, simply unplug power cord for 1 min then plug back in.

Why is Pages first launch so slow?

When I launch Pages for the first time, it takes a long while before the program actually launches (it is almosty instantaneous on second launch). I was wondering why the inital launch is so slow and if anyone knew a fix to this. I was used to a rather snappier iWork in the prior edition.
Thank you!

My guess is that it's due to the new architecture of the iWork package.
In old versions, quite all resources used by one component where stored in the component's package.
This structure was HD space consuming but allow a "fast" load.
With iWork '09 a new structure appear: the three applications are sharing a huge set of resources.
As the files aren't stored in the same HD area, this may explain why the new version requires more time at first run.
Of course, after that, most of the app is loaded so the app starts quickly.
