Hi,

I love to use Dreamweaver, However, Adobe has decided to drop off many features that i like (such as Database support and spry validation tools and so on....),

Now i have a very irritating problem, i tried to upload files from local to remote server using dreamweaver ftp tool. all the script files have been minified ( or compressed) after that.

initially this is a great idea, till after my file has involved some server or dynamic script (i.e.: PHP or JS),

the file will corrupted after uploaded to server due to the minify feature.

of coz, you will ask me how do I know is the minify feature issue. becoz i use the same file (without Minify) saved in my local hard disk upload via third party ftp client software, (smart ftp or cyber duck), the file just works fine without any error.

anyone here can guide me how do i turn off minify Code via ftp upload in DreamWeaver CC 2017, that will a big help to me.

Thank you very much in advance.

here is my result.

Do you use Mac or Windows?

And is anybody else working with the site files? If yes, do they use the same operating system?

I have seen issues occur with line breaks when files are accessed and edited by both Win/Mac users.

This type of thing has happened with DW before, it's uncommon, but I've seen posts in the past with the same issue. One fix for it previously was to modify the line break type being used in page code, then applying source formatting to each...

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Code Format
2. Choose another option in the Line Break Type menu

3. Go to Edit > Code > Apply Source Formatting for a page that has been having the issue

4. Upload the page

5. Check if the code has been corrupted, if it has, go through steps 1-5 again with the next setting

6. If it does work, you will need to do steps 1-4 for every page of your site
