Dreamweaver support/ Futurequest

[charliehillis]

Hey guys.

Is the built in ftp through dreamweaver supported with the futurequest sites?
If it is can someone point me to a guide on how to set it up. or maybe take some time to help me with it?

THanks a lot

Just follow this guide on the Macromedia site. The FTP info is in your FQ hosting activation letter, or you can also set-up a separate FTP-only account through CNC.

To securely transfer your files to the servers without exposing your username/password, see this guide

I was gonna suggest you upgrade (if not already using it) to MX 2004 which features SECURE FTP but it appears FutrureQuest cannot use this yet.

We do support SFTP and it is available to everyone. I haved used DW MX 2004 with SFTP before, without any problems.

I have to use passive FTP (an option in the site definition part of Dreamweaver). I forget why....I think it has to do with using dial-up or my ISP or something. Maybe that's it?

You know, I've had this problem lately with DW MX. It started with the IP renumbering. I do not use the IP address to FTP into the account. I've been meaning to drop a note to the service desk but keep forgetting to since I usually jump over to the CNC to upload, but that's a pain in the butt. It starts by telling me it can't determine server time. I know it's not the machine I am using because I get the same problem on my laptop.

Nope. Doesn't work for me. I even tried it with the I.P. address. To further test it I duplicated the Dreamweaver Site and changed the login info to another website that I recently moved from FutureQuest and Secure FTP works like a charm.

I don't have Dreamweaver (anything) LOL, however using FileZilla I am able to access sites on 4 different servers via SFTP...

May want to try downloading FileZilla and seeing if you can access using that and if so would at least narrow the problem to something with Dreamweaver
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Not sure if Filezilla would solve the problem as I've also been unable to establish FTP with CuteFTP (again, on both machines and nothing changed on my end before it happened). The problems cropped up with the IP renumbering for both programs.

I'll write the service desk next time I need to upload with the exact errors.
