Dreamweaver can no longer access my server via SFTP

[finin]

My site's server just changed its sshd configuration to remove insecure algorithms and Dreamweaver (v18.0 on a Mac with High Sierra 10.13) can no longer access it via SFTP. It does not support FTP.  I have the list of my server's supported SSH Ciphers, Kex Algorithms and MACs.

How can I find out what ssh standards Dreamweaver supports?  Is there a way (e.g., a config file) that I can update Dreamweaver to ensure it uses one of our supported crypto standards for SFTP?

CS6 is no longer sold, supported or updated.

The free Filezilla client is a good option for FTP when legacy versions of DW won't play nice with a given server configuration.

Thanks Jon,

I was working nicely last week but WPEngine changed it SFTP configuration to requiring aes192-ctr or aes256-ctr to connect securely to its server.

I can't find any of those options in DW to configure.

And you won't because CS6 has not been updated since Dec 2012.

You would need to purchase a Creative Cloud subscription to get the latest version of DW CC 2018.   Or as Jon said above,  use a dedicated FTP Client like Filezilla.

Thank you Nancy and Jon, I will use Filezilla as recommended.

You have both been helpful and prompt to help me.
