Server connection failsFT

[thralthamidor]

Hello, I have several sites on a leased server. The process is usually the same. But recently I can not set up a site. I know that the FTP Address, Username, password, Root Directory and Web URL are correct but it always fails with "An FTP error occurred - Cannot make the connect to host". I have tried Port 21 with FTP and Port 22 with FTPS.

I have tried deleting and recreated it many times, same result.  If I take the same info and use an FTP client such as Fetch, I can connect instantly.  I am using Dreamweaver CS6. Thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Try using https://filezilla-project.org/ to see if that works. If so, copy the same details to Dreamweaver.

The last CS6 update was released 7 years ago.   I think you'll find that at some point, legacy software can no longer do the job.   It's probably time to upgrade to Creative Cloud or keep using Fetch to transfer files.
