ftp with firewall and put requirement

I am behind a firewall. I have no problems going through the firewall
and connecting to my remote server. The problem comes when Dreamweaver
is getting the remote folders. I need to do a put auth and put response in
order for my firewall to allow remote put commands (it looks like the program
is trying to do a make directory for the info). I have looked all over but
I do not see a way to do this. Passive mode does not seem to work. I need
to send the two commands after the ftp logs in, or disable the folder search
until later.

hi!
I am not sure I understand the ". I need to send the two commands after the ftp logs in" but make sure u have the appropriate rights on the ftp server (create folders/delete etc.)

The server is set up fine, I am using it at home with no issue. The problem is at work
and the firewall.

Our firewall requires an additional authentication when I put something out to
the server. I can "get" anything I want, put if I "put". I need the authentication.
When Dreamweaver logs in, it looks like it builds a file of the web site and then
pulls the data across. The building of that file is considered a "put" so I must have
the authentication complete. Thus I am in a catch22, I need the initial ftp connection,
but I need to hold off on building the list until I can send the two commands to the
firewall ftp server:

quote auth <name>
quote response <password>

where these are the firewalls acount name and password.

hm hm....I know that ftp address can be "preset" with the username and pass:
ftp://User_Name:Password (AT) site (DOT) comort_no
or something like that...but doesn't DW have the password setting option?
anyway...I hope it helps

No, that is the initial ftp log in. What is needed is a scripting capability
after the ftp establishes. What happens is that the ftp to the server
first occurs. The next two commands (quot auth/quot respons) actually
get intercepted by the firewall before going to the ftp server. So that is
why I somehow need to get these two commands sandwitched between
the first ftp command (nameasswd (AT) server (DOT) ext) and the mkdir command
that the program sends to establish the folder names.
