Ftp connection and Dreamweaver

Hi everyone,

I was all day long reading the posts in this forum and Adobe's about ftp connection issues with Dreamweaver. Hope somebody else has a new idea or experience to help me.

I have been working and updating 3 websites (different servers) with Dreamweaver 8 with no problem until yesterday. I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings of my firewall or dreamweaver. But since yesterday I couldn't connect to just ONE of my websites. I always get the message: "Dreamweaver could not connect to the server. User canceled. Operation time out".
It's odd because when I "test" the connection on "remote settings" it does work. But when I try to only upload any file it doesn't.

So, I report to the server and it was not a problem with them. I tried to connect by ftp in Firefox and worked. So I realize it could be something with my ftp connection.
I tried to turn off my firewall, but still not working.
I tried to test the TCP/IP port 21 (and it is open).
I tried to delete the site definitions from Dreamweaver and re-create again, but no luck.

I just didn't re-install Dreamweaver because I'm afraid to lose the connection with my other 2 sites.
Does anybody have any tip, or link with similar issue that I can get some turn around???
Please any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Phil,

Thank you so much for trying to help me.
I found out that long path uploads doesn't work. But also, it was my mistake to try that.
But still I'm having ftp connections problems that I can't figure out why.
I have 3 websites that I can upload and get files using Dreamweaver and Cyberduck, or any browser FF, IE, Safari, Opera. But there is just one (that I just bought the hosting service) that is not working.

Can we talk by messenger?? or email? maybe I can send you the configurations for you to try.
thanks

Sure, I'd be glad to help you debug the problems with the new ftp site. But I'm in and out all day, so email me at philsmith dot com. I'm always glad to help.

P.S. Sorry for the cryptic address, I get around 10,000 spams a day and can't use any more!

I didn't understand the email. But I found your personal website and a contact email. Can I use that?

Hi Phil,

I found out (after reading your post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4342065#4342065 )
That I have the same problem.

Sorry, newbie questions:
I found the "terminal window" 🙂

I did typed "su to root"
and now keeps asking me my password (which I had typed thousand times and is not recognizing)
the answer is "su: sorry"

Any suggestion?
thanks
Viv

You may not have the root user enabled. That's okay, there's the "sudo" command. Just prefix everything you would have typed as root with "sudo".
