Dreamweaver CS5 Version Control - Repository Path

Hello Helpers...

Trying to connect to my remote pages via CS5, previously CS3 which worked great for me, but was cancelled by Adobe, as most of U certainly know... Line to server and local pages runs as it should.

The issue is with 'Version Control' that, so far, will not open my own flood gate. Even Help Desk of

the Server Co. is in the dark. Nobody knows the correct formula to gain access from the Repositary Path.

Incl. please find a screen shot of relevant Site Setup, into which we entered all kinds of infos with

variations, to no avail. The lines U see here are filled with baloney. Which info has to go onto the

open line is the Mill $ question..!

Thank U mucho for suggestions.

    CS5 is obsolete software from 12+ years ago.  I don't remember much about it, sorry. It's been too long.  There have been many significant changes to the web and Dreamweaver since then.

     

    Nowadays, people use version control through Git repository.

    I should have mentioned that I'm a Mac User, sorry... Not everything that

    works with Dos does so on Apple PC's. To me the GIT solution sounds

    like another layer of rails on top of the solid & proven ones below. Why

    do we have to complicate our workflow; Another "sign in" + password..?

    Without 'version control', we were doing just fine. Seems like I may have

    to follow the advice from the Server Co's team, and switch to the other

    program. Many years ago, when I signed up with them, DW was the way

    to go. Now, I happen to be 1 of few holdouts. Sigh, sigh...

    Regardless of which platform you use Win/Mac, Subversion must be installed on your system. And you must know where it's installed so you can reference it in your settings. 

     

    I still say nobody should be using outdated systems & software.  But whatever...

     

    Good luck.
