A solution found! It turned out to be the old server. Now that I am on a new server, the issues no longer occur.

Best of luck, Bill, I hope that solves it for you. So as of now adding to the list of possible issues/solutions:
* consider talking to/changing your host
Glad to hear from you,

The prev. server was a windows box with windows 2000. I’m being switched to a newer one, though I don’t know what kind it is.

Fingers crossed, Bill. I do hope yo get to the bottom of it. Out of curiosity: is it a Windows hosting?

Wishing you good luck,
Martin

I did reset my router, but honestly I cannot imagine what difference that should ever make. I am surprised that it has helped others. I am now in conversation with my server hosting company and they think that it may be on their side. It appears to be something about permissions and the age of the physical hosting server. I will see.

Then maybe it’s a provider issue. In my experience it has less and less to do with Dreamweaver and more either with the hardware one is using to access the internet (router, modem – whether yours or provided by ISP) or the internet connection itself (again: ISP).

Having said that I have a (unconfirmed) suspicion that Dreamweaver might be flooding the hardware with requests the hardware is simply refusing/unable to process. But that’s only a speculation and a rather wild one – for I’m not a techie, just a programmer.

Just to make sure: restart (unplug the cord) of your modem/wifi-router/router for a few minutes, then try again.

I seem to have stopped experiencing the issue after I have restarted, plus I have recently changed both hardware and ISPs due to moving.

Lastly: all this has ever occurred on Windows hosting, maybe even restarting your server might help. I have never had such issues on a Linux-based server.

Hope it helps, do let me know!
Martin =)

I have tried all these ideas and it hasn’t worked. The skipping issue occurs on different machines. Sometimes a file will get skipped while a different one won’t. I’ve tried other ftp programs, but to no avail. Please help.
