Since moving to Vista, I can't seem to FTP files up to the web server. I
have the same settitngs I had in XP and it does this for all sites. I'm
using passive FTP and I've tried disabling the firewall, but these don't
help. Any known issues here or ideas on things to check?

    Brandon, are you able to upload file via another ftp client? Try filezilla
    or something and see if you get a similar error.

    yes, just a normal FTP connection. And I don't think it's a permission
    issue because it happens on all sites (I doubt I have wrong permissions on
    all sites), and it appears that I can connect ok, but just not upload files.

    That sounds like a server permission problem. Is this just a vanilla FTP
    connection?

    I am dealing with a problem in Vista where my saved FTP login/password is
    removed from Dreamweaver and I don't know why. I have sites that I imported
    from when it was on XP, and it will work fine for one session, but if I reboot
    the next time I go into Dreamweaver all my sites' FTP info is gone. It's
    extremely frustrating. I'm using DW 8.0.2 on Vista x64. Oh, this may be related
    as well, but I think part of the problem may be one particular account where I
    have a % in the username. It acted quirky for me on XP (had trouble getting it
    to save the info), and I don't know if this is related to the new Vista
    problem I'm having.

    It appears to connect ok, but it won't upload files. I just get an error
    that says the following (and it does this with every file I try to upload):

    Test\test.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put
    test.html. Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a

    So far, it's worked without problems for me, Brandon. Are you sure you have
    the Vista Firewall disabled? Are you running any other security app? What
    happens when you try to connect/upload?
