Dreamweaver FTP Can't Connect
As I've mentioned before, Dreamweaver's FTP works fantastically well. No need to switch to another FTP program to FTP files that you're already 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 the end of the FTP host name in the FTP Host text box. The FTP host name will appear similarly to the following examples:
-www.myhost.com:80
-123.456.789.012:80
Much appreciated.
