FTP Upload Error

I'm sure you've all experienced or heard of FTP errors in Dreamweaver. We'll
here's another one. I think I've had this error in the past but it's so long
ago that I just don't remember how to fix it.

When I try to upload my site onto my server I get the fallowing message:

The connection to the remote host has been lost. Click Refresh to reconnect.

I then click OK and get the fallowing message:

An FTP error occured - cannot get remote folder information.
Dreamweaver could not connect to the server.
Please check your network connection and try again.

So no upload for Chris. I believe it might have something to do with Port
settings or security FTP setting of the sort but I realy am not sure. I am 94%
certain that it has nothing to do with the actual Dreamweaver settings but
instead with IE settings, or connection settings, or Firewall settings, or
something in that matter.

I am using McAfee Firewall and AntiVirus. I have recently done a WindowsUpdate
and upgraded SpyWare Blaster. Also, I performed a Disk Defrag. All of these
updates we're doen on the same day that I noticed the Dreamweaver FTP problem
so it might be linked.

I really, really, really, really need your help. I am amateur when it comes to
this but I'm not afraid to ask for help and I understand this stuff pretty
good, but I'm stumped on this one.

Please help soon!

Surprisingly DW's FTP has performed like a champ for me.

Have you tried enabling passive FTP for the remote site definition?

That seemed to have fixed the problem actually. In the past I had had a
similar problem and it took me a while to figure it out and it was more
complicated to fix. I guess I was looking too far for soemthign real simple.
Well I'm glad that worked, thanks for the obvious advice.

You're welcome. MM has done quite a bit of work on the FTP parts from DW 4
to DMX2004. It seems to have paid off as far as I can tell....
