Dreamweaver 8 upload problems

[GreerWanda]

I have been using one webhost for all my web site clients for a while and is all good but recently any new sites I set up run into problems with upload through dreamweaver 8. New folders cannot be created if required - I can upload with WSFTP or similar and folders will be created but as it is neater to do it through Dreamweaver I would like to solve this.

I have contacted the webhost and they cannot find any problem - they think it is a Dreamweaver problem...

This is the error I get when I try to upload a file whose folder does not exist on the server "error occurred - Unable to create remote folder foldername. Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem."

Also Dreamweaver puts a file on the server called temp2342.htm… This file will be uploaded automatically if I delete the file through another FTP program. is this linked to the previous issue?

I have tuned off view with temp file in Preferences.

Sites I have set up earlier do not exhibit either of these problems… I have duplicated a site that works and updated the FTP details and the problem happens again with the new site?? (which does makes me think it is a change in the way things are now set up on the host server)

If anyone could offer some insight that would be great!

you have to check your folder permissions on the server and grant access to any new ftp accounts you are setting up

Hi Darryn

thanks - have just done a read around and I have learnt that permissions are only applicable to UNIX servers - the one I am using is Windows which I understand does not need any permissions set???

I can view the permissions for folders and the public html folder permissions are noted as drwxr-x--- this, from what I have learnt seems correct...

with thanks
Greer
