I set the publishing settings, made a change to one of my files and then tried to upload it. However, I'm getting this error: "Could not open data connection to port 50309" Connection timed out (425)" I thought perhaps my publishing settings were wrong and I checked them several times, but they are not. I downloaded FileZilla and was able to use FZ to upload the changed page (with those same settings) just fine. Any ideas what could be wrong on the Expression Web end? I'm running Windows 7, using Firefox. Would it be worth it to go through the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling? I'm concerned that if I uninstall that I won't be able to reinstall again (since we only get two licenses with Expression Web now, correct?) - or am I misunderstanding how the licenses work? I don't have a disk, so I just don't want to have to purchase the software again. Thanks!

Tuesday, December 04, 2012 10:33 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote In all the years I have been here, there has only been one reported instance where uninstall/reinstall actually resolved an issue, and it had nothing to do with publishing, IIRC. OTOH, several people have reported difficulties even running EW after reinstalling. Googling your error message, it does appear to be related to firewall activity, and many suggested switching from active to passive mode for your F
As the write-up continues, some organisation may become plain, especially for problems that are reliably demonstrable. These are then moved to separate pages, as for the following: Problems with the Format Painter Spell Checking Reduces Undo Capacity Problems with Styles Problems with Tables Unfortunately, much of Expression Web’s misbehaviour remains a mystery to me, in the sense that I don’t know how to reproduce it. A few of these are described here for now. I really must stress that I think I have better things to do than catalogue this software’s numerous defects and that these are just a small selection of observed problems. At https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/expression/en-US/b4b52812-87b0-4056-8955-bc6fe5636684/expression-web-4-cannot-connect-to-website-error-message-could-not-open-data-connection-to-port?forum=web the time I have a problem with Expression Web, I’m writing up real work that I bought the program for and I therefore do not often redirect my mind to writing up the bug. I just learn to put up with this program’s errors and hope that the everyday experience of working around its defects does not distract me too much from the real work that the program is supposed to help me http://www.geoffchappell.com/notes/exprwd/bugs/index.htm with. I really would much prefer that this software worked acceptably. It is instead like no software that I have ever used, let alone paid hundreds of dollars for. That any one person can find even this many glitches to write about supposedly commercial-grade software is a disgrace. Almost everything noted here and in the separate pages dates from the original Expression Web but persists at least to Expression Web 3 (including SP1). Is it that Microsoft’s testing programme does not find the obvious multitude of errors in basic functionality or that Microsoft’s quality control does not then care to get these bugs fixed? Many of the problems noted on this page have not yet been checked for Expression Web 4 because they require extended observation of real-world editing. As explained in First Impressions of Expression Web 4, this new version shows almost immediately so serious a problem for me that I’m not prepared to let it into real-world use. Code Error Detected In Expression Web’s Own Code The feature by which Expression Web detects “code that’s incompatible with particular HTML and CSS schemas” looks like it might be useful some day. This website, for instance, is designed for viewing with Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher, preferably without having to make lots of special cases. It migh
