Let’s get the ball rolling. It has happened to us today, Dreamweaver CS4 has started to refuse to connect to remote server, even deleted some files whilst it was at it. Googling and searching the internet in other ways didn’t bring any desired solution and all the posts I found seemed to have been slightly older and out of date.
We did manage to solve it (-ish), but before I tell you how, I’d like to know if any of you still experience it and if so how do (did) you deal with it and.. if you’ve managed to resolve it?
Our problem had to do with the… believe it or not: the router. We reset it, and it started working. So not so much a DW issue as a network one.
Any other solutions? Let’s start a new forum, one that solves it, comes up high on search engines because it is to the point and helps!
I’d like to hear from those who can’t reset their network/router and maybe find out what actually causes it and if there are any other solutions.
Thanks!
Got the same problem and its driving me mad! Skips files completely inconsistently and has been deleting them.
But….before I start messing around with my router, did you try ftp-ing via different software? I’ve tried putting via Core ftp and its fine so it does seem to be a Dreamweaver problem…. Or is it something to do with the way DW and the router are interracting?
Please let me know!
Hi,
yes, I have tried uploading using different software, CuteFTP and CoreFTP to be precise and that worked no problem. I see where you’re coming from and yes, I should probably rephrase: it is a DW issue (as in it ONLY occurs in DreamWeaver) that I have resolved NOT by reinstalling the software but by resetting the router. Simply performed software reset and then a manual one (unplugging the power, not the reset button on the router).
Hope that helps!
Yes it does – believe it or not, I tried turning the router off before I even tried re-setting it, and DW ftp is now working fine across several sites and servers. Seems a bit too good to be true….I’ve got 2 different releases of DW on 2 pcs and was having the same problem with both so obviously no point in re-installing. The only common denominator seemed to be the router…. However, I don’t think I would’ve thought of it so many thanks. Adobe seem not to be acknowledging it as an issue which is a bit bad really,
Wicked! I’m really pleased for you! It is weird, isn’t it?! Just to narrow it down: what router do you use? My problem occured on a D-LINK (will specify the model as soon as I check), currently running on Belkin N-Vision no probs.. BTW – DW on Windows or Mac? Just looking for a denominator
I’m both Win and Mac, DW CS4..
Hi, the router is a Huawei Echolife HG520b – never had a wireless router before so am pretty new to the technology. Also using DW CS4, and was wondering if it could have been something to do with the OS, as am using XP (not a Vista fan!) but have XP on one machine and XP Pro on the other so think its unlikely to be that. As I’m sure you’re aware there are a lot of people asking about this via various forums – the main reaction seems to be to look at the permissions, which is obviously completely unhelpful…Let me know if you manage to spot a denominator…
I have the same problem. I am using Windows Vista Business, CS4 and a D-Link 655. Tried restarting the router by cutting power, but that didn’t work. I still haven’t resolved the problem.
wow thank you for the post I was going mad. I reset my netgear wireless g router and it solved the issue running mac osx 10.4 with cs4. anyone know why this is happening? would like to think there is real solution instead of opening my stuctured cabling panel every few days to upload….
Stephen, glad it helped.I haven’t experienced it for some time, but resetting my Belkin N-Vision everytime it occurred was a get-out-of-jail ticket for me. We need a HW/networking expert here to explain why, still striving to comprehend why it is a solution
All the best,
Martin
