Unable to connect to SFTP server DW 2017.

Report · Jul 23, 2019

I have this error: Dreamweaver 2017 does not connect to SFTP server and you see the "Failed to Read the contents of XML Resource: IDD_SSH_KEY_CHANGE_DIALOG" error. I have followed the advice on this page:

Unable to connect to SFTP in Dreamweaver

But there is no such location as this on my Mac:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC xxxx/en_US/Configuration

The above is the location the Help Page asks you to go to. I can find no such file as ssh_hosts file, so I'm still unable to connect.

I have Mac Dreamweaver 19.2

Thanks for any advice!

Hi David,

Thank you for reaching out. From what I understand from your post it looks like you're unable to connect to the SFTP server. I'd like to confirm if you have an FTP/SFTP connection set up on any of the site definition? Because the file only shows, if you have the FTP/SFTP connection set up on your machine.

Please let us know if you've any confusion with this. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Harshika
