Two FTP servers causing problems... help?

Hello,
I am the webmaster for a small business who has recently started up a second
website for a child company. I now need to upload two different websites to two
different ftp servers, but for some reason, I'm having a heck of a time with
it! I upload the files onto one server, server A, and it ends up on the other
server, server B. Not only is it being uploaded to the wrong place, but it is
screwing with my index pages as well, and I'm unable to access the files in
windows explorer, like I have done in the past to upload the websites. For
general day-to-day uploading of a few pages, I just copy from the backup site
in dreamweaver and paste it in the ftp site in dreamweaver. When I do major
changes, like template changes where I have to upload the whole website for the
changes to occur, I use windows explorer with my files in one window and the
ftp site in another.
If anyone could give me insight as to why I'm having these problems that would
be great. I'm assuming it's something to do with compatability issues between
dreamweaver and windows or something, but I'm running out of troubleshooting
ideas, and I would really appreciate any help I could get. Thanks much!

It is not clear if you are using Dreamweavers FTP process to upload
the files to the remote server. If that is the case it sounds like
you need to define a different site for your child company.

F1 in dreamweaver, look under Setting Up Your Site.

I am using both dreamweaver's ftp upload process and the built-in one in
windows explorer. I have seperate sites defined in dreamweaver for each of the
ftp sites, as well as seperate sites set up for each of the backup versions
that i work on directly (I don't work directly on the server because it slows
productivity and working on a backup allows for more leway when making boo
boos). so basically i have my sites defined as thus:
FTP://SITE A
FTP://SITE B
Backup site A
Backup site B

I have both sites defined with a passive ftp server, and both ftp sites are
hosted by the same company.

thanks for your help!

We have a similiar situation here in that I upload to
a testing server and I also upload to the production server.

In the Dreamweaver site definition confirm that the Remote Info page
has the correct FTP Host and Host Directory entries for the site definition.
Other than checking this information I do not have any idea why this
would be happening.
