Dependant Files Slows Upload

Hello:

Not long ago I remember Dreamweaver asking me "Do you want to include dependant files  (Yes/No....Don't ask me again.).  Now, I can't escape dependant files being uploaded.  I also get a message with this menu: "....The files on your server are newer than this.  Are are sure?..."  This doesn't make sense either, since the current file (page) in question is, in fact, the newest revision.  My question is: "How can I disable these silly menus?"  If I want to include dependant files why can't do this manually.  As for the second menu, this is baffling.  I'm being slowed down to a crawl, especially with text files.  I've tried everything I've read online, including the Permissions box in Dreamweaver Mx, and nothing works. Help!!!!

Thank you, Gerald Gibson

    The first part is changed by going to Edit > Preferences > Site and changing the "prompt" settings for Dependent Files. Change it to Prompt before uploading (or similar wording).

    The second part sounds like you have a mismatch between your server date/time and your computer's date/time and uploaded file timestamps vs server file timestamps (maybe in a vastly different timezone?) are confusing the program.

    I already tried using Edit--Permissions--Site.  That didn't work.  As for your second solution, I have no idea how to remedy that.

    Thanks anyhow,  Gerald Gibson

    What kind of server do you have -- Linux or Windows?  If you're on Linux, you might be able to set your Time Zone by adding or modifying a .htacess file on your root server.

    An example for Pacific Time:

    SetEnv TZ America/Los_Angeles
