DREAMWEAVER 2021 FTP Uploads Sporadic and Slow. Does not retain FTP Passwords

Running a fast 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with Monterrey 12.1 and Dreamweaver 2021. (Just upgraded from a flawless experience with DW CS6.)

1. Dreamweaver 2021 FTP Uploads are painfully slow, plus they start and stop very frequently.
2. Also, FTP Upload passwords are not remembered after quitting DW and reopening app.
3. Open in Browser does not work no matter from where I select it. (My browser preferences are set correctly, but Open in Browser is unresponsive.)

I've been Googling all 3 of these issues and not finding much helpful. Is there anyone here who can assist? Thanks!

S/FTP works fine for me.  Try creating a new site definition.  Site > New Site...

Under More Options, toggle passive FTP and Performance Optimization on.  See screenshot.

 

 

To preview in browser, right-click on open Tab and select Open in Browser.

 

Real-Time Preview works sometimes but it can be flakey because it relies on Adobe's servers.   I much prefer Static Browser Preview which you make your default setting from Preferences.  See screenshot.

 

 

Hope that helps.
