FTP error

I have read through all other posts, tried all suggestions, can't fix the error!

I use Dreamweaver CC and all was working perfectly, could put/get files directly from dreamweaver to web host. My computer was stolen. Got a new computer, set up the site and server exactly the same. It will not connect. I get the "FTP error, access denied, cannot find public.html, it might be a permission" error. I have looked at the permissions, they are not the problem. I looked at the log, the password and username pass, it gets stuck at the public.html phase. I can connect though filezilla but don't really want to use another program, I like the ease of hitting the put button when I make a small change. The only thing that it strange is the ftp log which says that the root directory is "/" not "/public.html".

Please, please help.
