Dreamweaver

ecntrc · 10-27-2005

Im trying to connect to my clients web server. Ive only really used WS FTP Pro for uploading. Never FTP'd through Dreamweaver. Now, I explained to him that I tried getting into through his host page, which didnt work, I tried through my FTP client and that didnt work. He sent me an image of what it looks like when he logs in. And Im like not even half way there.. This is what im suppose to see but
This is what I see..

I filled out that dialog box, figuring it just might work, well it tells me the server is not responding and then says This So I dont know whats going on. Anybody can help me? I rarely use dreamweaver, I know how to use it but im more better at GoLive but he wants me to use Dreamweaver..

<getting there but i wont give up!

Try to connect with a different FTP client that you know how to use first and make sure it works lol. May just be that the problem is on his end.

I tried useing the regular FTP I always use for all my sites I manage and it didnt work.. I asked him a couple times what version of dreamweaver he uses but he didnt get back to me.. so we'll see. Ill some how get into it but i might have to talk to him over the phone. we'll see. pray i get through!

Seems if the FTP client you know works doesn't on his site then he gave you the wrong password or something. Just my thoughts at least.

Try using WS_FTP, nice little program that connects and uploads easy as.

I used WS_FTP Too for a whole wile, but I found something 10 times better

FileZilla, and it's free of course

if you still having problems then check that clients firewall allow the ftp internet access and also check that is they are using windows and they have a firewall then tell them to turn it off while they upload as i had the same problem with my own ftp until i noticed that windows was blocking it even tho you give it acess on windows it still won't allow so the best thing is just to turn it off

hoped that helped a bit
