From: April May on 13 Jul 2010 16:02 I have been using Dreamweaver MX 2004 for years on Mac G5. No problems at all connecting with FTP. Over last 2 days I have tried to connect using FTP and I get error. "An FTP error has occurred. The server is not responding. Please check your connection information." I have several sites and they are on different hosting servers, none of them will connect with Dreamweaver. And it immediately gives the error, doesn't seem to be an attempt from Dreamweaver to connect. I can connect to the sites using other FTP access programs, eg. Fetch, so I know it is not the information, passwords etc. Nothing has changed on my computer, I have not had a crash or changed anything, nothing has changed on the servers. I figured it was some prefs file that possibly corrupted and needed to be removed and the program restarted to create new prefs, but that wasn't it either. Would some kind of bug or virus mess this up? would it attack a mac? I do not seem to be having any problems with anything else. I am at a loss, I cannot understand what would make it all of a sudden stop working. Any advice or ideas are great appreciated.

As a Mac user f9Dreamweaver CS4) for a year or so I don't subscribe to the belief that Macs are immune - but I can't imagine why some malware would attack Dreamweaver FTP and not your other FTP programs. I'm not familiar enough with Macs to comment except one suggestion that borders on waving burning chicken bones but worked yesterday here when Thunderbird suddenly failed to connect. I launhed as usual from Dashboard and that's what failed - in desparation I eventually launched directly from the Applications folder. Like you, nothing on my system had changed. I dragged the icon off dashboard and replaced it with the one from the running application - it is still working. Aternatively, kill the data on one of your server accesses and set up a new connection for it - to see if the file which holds that has become corrupt (particularly the password as you usually can't see that (I don't use Dreamweaver for FTP sp don't have the details) I wonder if there has been a Mac update with a problem (everything else seems OK). If nobody arrives here with the answer you might want to try the official Adobe Forums on their web site - sadly, they gave up this group 15 months ago. -- duncank
From: April May on 13 Jul 2010 17:43 i kinda doubt its a virus or like but I am grasping. I did as you suggested but to no avail. I was hoping this has happened to others and they had a quick, fix. I just cant understand why it would all of a sudden just stop working only in DW. I first thought it was server, maybe changed or something like that but since i have sites on different servers and none of the connect I figure its something in my program has gone bad, or outdated that it doesnt work anymore with internet, i just dont know. thanks for responding

Sounds like a firewall block Dunno bout macs but I assume you have the either as part of the OS (ala Windows Firewall) or an external program. Software updates that happen almost daily in some AV programs. If you have an AV or firewall, shut it down and try to connect

These new templates are great but balance of CSS properties and HTML seems to be quite a chore. Once I thinkI have the color changed in Dreamweaver the web appears different than appear in in dreamweaver. I also need an organized way to place photos without all the frames showing up.I am ready to add photos and product information linked to PDF's but until I know the template will work properly everything is on hold. I would appreciate any advice or direction in CSS CS5, Thanks, Jetasia Here is the link... http://ledelectronicsusa.com/ |
