A message to the Dreamweaver Team

There have been many complaints surrounding the Dreamweaver FTP functionality. One very easy to implement imporovement would be to replace the current FTP module with LFTP.

 

LFTP stands out among file transfer tools for its robust command-line capabilities, multi-protocol support, and reliable error handling. Compared to GUI-based clients like FileZilla, LFTP is scriptable, making it ideal for automated transfers and batch processing. It also supports parallel transfers, mirroring, and FXP, which allows direct server-to-server transfers.

 

Other CLI tools like Wget and cURL focus more on HTTP-based downloads, whereas LFTP excels in FTP, SFTP, and BitTorrent transfers. Additionally, LFTP’s resume functionality ensures interrupted downloads restart seamlessly, unlike some basic FTP clients.

 

Please consider!!!

    Are you aware that your link is to a website in Russia?

    Given the current economic sanctions related to the Russian war with Ukraine, I think that might be an impossible ask.

    Thank you for bringing that up. I understand the concerns regarding economic sanctions.

     

    My recommendation of LFTP was based on its strong functionality for file transfers, rather than its hosting origin. If Adobe prefers a different source or an alternative FTP solution that aligns with their policies, then they could explore other options. The goal is to improve Dreamweaver’s FTP capabilities for a better user experience.

     

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
