I would like to know if after the server enables MFA we can still auto sftp with Dreamweaver.

    You should ask your hosting provider what's required to log-in. 

    DW supports SFTP with encrypted OpenSSH private key files and passphrase.  See below.

    Hosting provider says that

    "-Regrettably 'Dreamweaver' is not part of our "Spheres of Support" and is not supported by Rackspace, it is hard to predict how the application will react to the change to the MFA."

    Of course they say that.  They will say that about any S/FTP client. 

     

    The question isn't which software to use but which method to use.  

    If DW supports the method, keep using DW. Otherwise, switch to a dedicated S/FTP client like FileZilla to transfer files.
