upload problems via Dreamweaver MX

[Markwaugh]

Hello guys,

I am unable to upload multiple files to my website. I am using Dreamweaver MX to do the ftp session. I can upload one file, which takes some time, and then the connection to the ftp site is lost.

The size of the file was about 178K. When the file is being uploaded, the upload process hangs at about 131K, then resumes after a few seconds. I've noticed sluggish upload speed before but didn't pay much attention to it. Other files of bigger sizes do the same thing.

Are there any suggestions?

What did you change to solve this. I have a customer havingthe same problem.

check the below settings in your Dreamweaver

1. Change the Preference settings from edit :

FTP Time Out (Default = 60). increase the FTP Time Out setting from 60 to 120 seconds or higher higher number to allow more time to transfer files.

The reason may be that the files are not transferring before the time-out setting in Dreamweaver preferences has been reached, causing the connection to be lost. This preference can be reset to allow more time to process files,avoid FTP errors,and improve FTP reliability.

2. also check if you are behind a router / firewall and are you using Zone Alarm ? The critical settings in the Site FTP Preferences dialog box are: FTP Connection: and Disconnect After. .Minutes Idle. Please leave this option unchecked.

3. Try Passive Mode : Check the Use Passive Mode box. If not try both checking and unchecking Passive mode.

4. Try using FTP from a different computer at your same location
