Been struggling with an problem lately when using Dreamweaver 2021 FTP client on a MacPro (2019) running Big Sur 11.6.2. After "Synchronizing" or "Putting" an html file using the Files window the file size refreshes to 0KB on the server side. When displayed in a browser it shows nothing and view source shows no code. The following has been tried with no change:Remove and reinstall DW via Creative Cloud app and reinstalled.Remove DW via CS5 Cleaner Tool and reinstalled.Completely deleted site in Manage Sites and re-added.Checked and double checked all settings with co-workers problem free set-up.Worked with office network team to check file is passing thru firewall successfully (it is).Created and tested new ftp credentials.Called Adobe tech support twice.

UPDATE - Tried uninstaling DW and installing oldest version available to rule out latest update being the problem.

Still have same problem.

Any other ideas? Anyone?

We host in-house.

Also ensure that you're uploading files to the server's ROOT DIRECTORY.

Did you try using Passive FTP under More options? See screenshot.

Hi Nancy,

We host in-house and have had no trouble for about 15 years.

We also tried toggling variations of the options you hilighted with no success.

The only change has been the replacement of the Mac Pro from a late 2013 to the 2019. Even with that, things ran smoothly for weeks. Can't pinpint any other changes except maybe a DW update.

Very strange.

So it worked at one point on this machine and suddenly stopped?

Try Restoring Preferences.
