Ftp Error Cannot Open Remote Folder
Member I'm using Dreamweaver to access first web site on an ISPConfig Fedora 9 server but I can't access it via ftp. I would rather use Dreamweaver than the ISPConfig web ftp. After fiddling around with the settings here is what the remote site info for one individual site looks like in Dreamweaver: Access: FTP FTP host: I put in my server's public IP even though I can access it on my local network. Host directory /var/www/ Login: web7_admin That's my user for the site so i assumed this would be my login. Password: my user's password When testing the connection I get the error: cannot open remote folder /var/www/. Access denied. The file may not exist or there could be a permission problem. The firewall has port 21 open. Proftpd is working because ISPConfig has it online and enabled, and the Web-FTP on ISPConfig's panel can see the folders. Under the services it does say that the Web-server is offline and restarting it doesnt help. This is confusing though because if the webserver really is offline, how come I get an ISPConfig landing page when going to my domains from other computers in my home network, and am able to access ISPConfig? Other attempts with putting in different ftp addresses into Dreamweaver (like ftp.domain.com) had a loading bar attempting to connect but then halfway through gave a very general error message with every possible thing that could be wrong. So I think just putting in my static Public IP is all right, as it just says that the folder can't be found. The user web7_admin has administrator privelages under that site. What settings do I need to have to access my site with FTP? andysm849, Oct 5, 2008 #1 marpada New Member Try using pasive FTP in the client. ________ Lamborghini estoque specifications ________ Wendie 99 Last edited: May 13, 2011 marpada, Oct 5, 2008 #2 uberamd New Member *cough* use scp not ftp *cough-security-cough* uberamd, Oct 5, 2008 #3 andysm849 New Member Tried it, and there was no change. andysm849, Oct 5, 2008 #4 andysm849 New Member Woops I meant that to the first post, not the scp.

I have a problem connecting to my host server with Dreamweaver since more than 2 days ago. I have send in support ticket to my host but the problem is still not solved till now. Error Message http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=74271 An FTP error occurred - cannot open remote folder /public_html/. 550 /public_html: No such file or directory Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Synchronize commands will not be available. My Dreamweaver Settings Access: FTP Host Directory: /public_html/ I have been using the same setting for the past 1 year plus w/o problem until 2 days ago. All my domains are facing the same problem when using Dreamweaver to upload files to the server. I have been sitting in front of the pc trying to connect for the past two day and I found something. When I change the setting for Host Directory from /public_html/ to public_html/ I am able to log in BUT I am unable to upload any files which have been edited. Error message: An FTP error occurred - cannot put file 550: Overwrite permission denied If i edit a file and want to upload the newer version to the server, i need to deleted the existing file on the server before i can upload the newer one. Uploading new or non-edited existing files is possible. I am trying hard to solve the problem, searching for possible solutions on various newsgroups and forums. I realised that it
looking at in DW's tree view.* Except that, in some circumstances, DW simply will not connect to the server, no matter that you've followed all the usual instructions. Thanks to Craig Lido for pointing me to Macromedia's Dreamweaver TechNote: Add a colon and the port number to http://developedtraffic.com/2006/02/05/dreamweaver-ftp-cant-connect/ the end of the FTP host name in the FTP Host text box. The FTP host name http://www.webhostinghub.com/help/community/website-troubleshooting/ftp-error-in-dreamweaver will appear similarly to the following examples: -www.myhost.com:80 -123.456.789.012:80 Much appreciated.

I have ALWAYS used Dreamweaver for coding, designing, uploading, etc. but for some reason with this new server, it absolutely will not accept my username and password. I've connected using FileZilla just fine using the same login info, but for some reason Dreamweaver is being stubborn. Any ideas please? Diane Vigil says: Comment posted on 02/23/09 @ 2:17 pm A few things to try: - make sure you're using the correct username and password - are you - try the tips in ftp error cannot my article above - In Sites > Manage Sites > Edit > Remote Info, deselect "Use Secure FTP (SFTP) One of those ought to do it. Let me know what happens. moira says: Comment posted on 03/16/09 @ 10:05 pm I have been using an old version - Dreamweaver 2 - which has been great - and now I am having ftp problems. I have tried all of the above and I still get a message - host found connecting - and then - an ftp error occurred - connect make connection to host. I have rung mine host and want me to use their Zilla thing as well which I have to buy. Why would I when D/W has been perfect. Hope you can help. Cheers Moira Diane Vigil says: Comment posted on 03/17/09 @ 12:43 am A couple of questions: have you switched hosts recently? If not, have they changed something? Are you trying to upload via a secure connection (SFTP) that's being rejected? You can always try Filezilla, which is free. If nothing else, that may give you some clues. Thing is, I'm not sure whether FTP protocols may have changed. I used WS_FTP '95 for years before upgrading, and then using DW's internal FTP functions. So I'm not sure whether there may be something different with respect to FTP functions this much later on.

ANSWERS 0 ScottM Staff 15,798 Points 2013-05-03 8:39 am EST Hello shanaran, I checked your permissions for the public_html folder and they are correct. You will want to ensure that you have the server set up prior to attempting to publish the site. The server setup instructions can be found int he link below: Configure Main Domain Server Settings in Dreamweaver CS5 Or, if you are working with an addon domain instead, follow these instructions: Configure Addon Domain Server Settings in Dreamweaver CS5 Best Regards, Scott M To submit a comment on this answer, please first login. I followed those instructions first and it said connection was successful. shanaran 11 Points 2013-05-03 9:06 am EST Oh!
