Dreamveawer gives my trouble this days. It starts to blank out the user and pass for the ftp system. Have you experienced this ? What did you do to fix it ?
Never used the ftp upload feature , i use filezilaa and localhost server for any site or changes i like to make , saves me lots of time in transferring files and what not.
I never really experience any problems in dreamweaver. Try restarting the program maybe? I tend to use dreamweaver to upload when developing a site. Its good because its all in 1 application. For big file uploads and when I'm not editing a site its always filezilla.
I'm the same. Both programs work great when making changes. If having problems you might want to try a reinstall but I'll guess you have already tried that.
Its best to use the ftp in Dremveawer when making small changes to a file, One click and you can check it online.
Sure, I just want to change between as few windows as possible and you will for sure save at least 1 second with dreamweaver ftp he he. For me its a matter of saving the mouse muscle. But for uploading more that 10 files I use ws_ftp, then dreamweaver gets slow.
