Hi I have the same software which was working fine a few weeks ago and now does exactly the same and times out just before finishing uploading.  It is VERY frustrating.  If anyone can help it would be great

1. DW8 is grossly outdated and unsupported.  Nobody should be using outdated web authoring software anymore.

 

2. Due to it's advanced age, I can't even recommend that you re-install DW8 because CS2's activation servers were shut down many years ago. AFAIK, it's impossible to activate anymore.

 

3. Your server was probably updated (as well it should be) so that it's no longer compatible with the legacy FTP features  in DW8.  Or it just quit/failed for other reasons. 

 

4. Best advice, switch to modern software.
