connecting to a Raspberry Pi with Dreamweaver CC?

Report · Sep 06, 2017

Hi,

I have a local webserver running on a Raspberry Pi 3. It's just for testing and I want to edit some wordpress-pages now though I can't get Dreamweaver to connect ot the SFTP on the Pi. I have no problem to connect with WinSCP, though. The internal client gives me a wrong Passwort error I guess.

I even gave root a password, but still no luck. Any idea what I can try?

I don't know which protocols Dw's sftp uses, but i do remember others have tried to connect to raspberry pi in the past, with no success, (or at least no one has posted a solution in this forum).

Due to the more specialized nature of the solution, (if it exists) a Dw dev team member may be able to supply the answer, (Preran) you other alternative would be to ask in a forum dedicated to developing for raspberry pi.

Sorry i could not help further.

Thank you, Paula. I am checking with the product team. One of us will post as soon as we are ready.

I checked with the team and they would like to know the following

if the SFTP is configured for username/password based authentication or with private key & passphrase.
FTP connection details such as WinSCP and DW like port, root directory, etc.

Thanks,

Preran

Yes, it's configured for user/pass use, I can access the filesystem of the Pi with it's standard-user pi and it's password. In WinSCP I only had to add under Enviroment -> SCP/Shell "sudo su -" to get root-access on the filesystem.

Using standard SSH-port 22, "SCP" is selected as the protocol in WinSCP.

Is there any verbose-mode or log-file to check why Dreamweaver is showing that errormessage?

Apologize for being tardy on this one. I did hear from the team, and I forgot to post their response. Thank you for the reminder. Copying their message here. I have not used Raspberry myself, so if there is anything here on which you need further clarification, let me know.

"Since the user is able to connect to SFTP running on Raspberry Pi using WinSCP only through sudo, this might be the cause of connection failure in DW.

The user can bring up FTP Log panel from Window menu->Results and monitor the messages logged while trying to connect.

We can ask the user if he can provide the required permissions for the FTP account on Pi so that sudo su is not required and try to connect again in DW."

Thanks,

Preran
