So i started my PC today and for no resason at all, without changes or updates, i can no longer connect to my host address. Now this isnt your usual situation as I have tried everything. I could still connect to other site hosts from DW. I could still connect to my host with FileZilla no problem. So , I switched to use a hotspot thinking maybe a router issue, no dice. I never needed ti before, but i dropped my firewalls and security. Nothing. I contact my hosting company, no issues on their end as I can stil connectwith Filezilla and no server changes. Now, I decided to unistall Dreamweaver....everytime I reinstall, the same site definitions come back and same issue. I tried purging EVERYTHING DW from my PC...ever registry entries, as many temp files as i could find. Still imports site definitions and same problem. Please help. Nothing is working and Adobe is preventing  me from a totally clean install. Al of my defined sites return and I dont want them to in order to see if a fresh entry will fix the issue. I am at my wits end. FYI I have tried all the different FTP server settings and all the basic fixes.

    If you can connect with FileZilla, I recommend that you keep using it.  It's a more stable & reliable S/FTP client.  Unlike Dreamweaver, FileZilla is in active development and receives regular updates.

    Well, Ive tried the restore preferences, deleted the registry folder and keys, then rebooted again. Deleted the site in dreamweaver (DW21). Checking my server for something on my ftp user...yea, i guess i will have to use something else. But it is going to ruin my process on cloud and server sync with development.  I honestly dont know what to do except for unintall adobe Cloud completely with all products...maybe..Thank you for you assistance, I truly appreciate the reply.

    I wish it were some simple setting, but Ive tried changing everything.  And it happened on its own, nothing was changed by me to make this happen. It was connecting fine for the past month. Ive been messing with my firewall settings and rules and I truly dont think that has anything to do with it. Ive compleley shut it down and same. Its gotta be a windows issue or something on the server. Im out of ideas to fix it anyway.
