Troubleshoot the remote folder setup
The following list provides information on common problems you may encounter in setting up a remote folder, and how to resolve them.
There is also an extensive tech note that specifically provides FTP troubleshooting information on the Adobe website at
www.adobe.com/go/kb405912.
The Dreamweaver FTP implementation might not work properly with certain proxy servers, multilevel firewalls, and other forms
of indirect server access. If you encounter problems with FTP access, ask your local system administrator for help.
For a Dreamweaver FTP implementation, you must connect to the remote system’s root folder. Be sure to indicate the remote
system’s root folder as the host directory. If you’ve specified the host directory using a single slash (/), you might need to
specify a relative path from the directory you are connecting to and the remote root folder. For example, if the remote root
folder is a higher level directory, you may need to specify a ../../ for the host directory.
Use underscores in place of spaces, and avoid special characters in file and folder names wherever possible. Colons, slashes,
periods, and apostrophes in file or folder names can sometimes cause problems.
If you encounter problems with long filenames, rename them with shorter names. On the Mac OS, filenames cannot be more
