Question : Problem: Connecting Dreamweaver to GoDaddy FTP

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to the FTP host on Godaddy but am having problems. Here is the info I'm putting in under the "remote info" tab:

Access: FTP
FTP Host: ftp://whatyouseeyoucannotbe.com
Host Directory: /
Login: MyLogin
Password: MyPassword

I've left the "Use Passive FTP", "Use Firewall" and "Use Secure FTP" all unchecked (but have also tested them checked). When I test the connection it says An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection with host". I have left the host directory entry at "/" on advice from the godaddy website with dreamweaver.

I don't understand what the problem is because I have other websites connected from Dreamweaver so I know the program isn't the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Yeah, this appears to be a weird GoDaddy / DW interaction.  

1) Make sure you are using Passive FTP and Performance Optimization is turned off

2) Make sure DW is patched to 8.02

3) Read this: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55152

There is a post in there that goes into great detail about what you need to do to get DW FTPing with GoDaddy.
