Dear friends:

Thanks so very much for your kind and expert help. I'll definitely pursue this matter ASAP. Right now I've a serious FTP problem on my hands. It has to do with FTP in Dreamweaver MX. I used FrontPage for about a year, then switched to GoLive 6 a few weeks ago and spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with the program. It's a great program, all right, but GoLive FTP is weak and flaky and unreliable. So, I decided to switch to Dreamweaver MX, which I purchased right after it came out but was simply not prepared for its complexity. Now that I am ready for Dreamweaver MX, I discover that their FTP is also a problem. I can connect (no problem theree), but everything else (transfer, synchronizing, etc.) fails at some point. I can get a list of files, but that's where it stops (TaskManager says: "Dreamweaver not responding"). On the other hand, my standalone FTP clients (SmartFTP and CutreFTP) transfer these very same files flawlessly. In fact, I NEVER had a single problem transferring files, etc with Front Page 2002 with FP Extensions (Publish Web). My web host says this is the nature of the beast, that programs like Dreamweaver or GoLive break the FTP protocol by imposing all sorts of demands on them that they cannot fulfill. May I ask if any of you have had the same problem with Dreamweaver's FTP?

At my wit's end.

Thank you for listening.
