Can't Connect using Contribute

[Joe_FromSD]

Folks, I've used Contribute for 10 years +, and as of a few months ago I can't connect. I know this is the Dreamweaver forum but there's no one left on the Contribute forum. I use Contribute 6.5.

I can FTP to my site  using FileZilla, but that's no use to me as I know almost nothing about coding and need Contribute to edit my site. https://woodsshop.com/

I'm hoping to get some help here with my connection issue. Someone who helped me update my site to modern coding last year is still able to Connect.

I got a new Win 7 computer beginning of the year but was able to edit my site for months before this connection issue started.

Can anyone help, or, is there any paid Adobe support I can turn to?

We are facing similar issue. Can you please explain in brief on which server (i.e. HOST) did you update your TLS compatibility?

Joe can you or some one please help us to resolve the issue?

darn nn I wish I could help but it was all beyond me!

OK I asked my Host to explain and he said-

Joe,

Your current server setup is

Server: c5mail.adjent.com
Host: 1host.com

What I did was change the cipher suite and SSL/TLS Protocals

Cipher Suite
Old: ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:!DSS:!3DES:!RC4:!DES

New: ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!DSS

SSL/TLS Protocals
Old: All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 -TLSV1
New: All -SSLv2 -SSLv3

Now they would need root access to the server in order to make these changes. This is what I changed though. This opened up the server to be more compatible with older software. Questions please let me know.

Best regards,
Ben

I really hope this helps someone else! I wasn't able to edit my site for 8 months.
