Can somebody please help figure out a issue that's been bothering me for few days?
Ever since some incident, DW wouldn't let me connect to remote server.
The error message was that the server is down or not accepting connections.
I think I touched FTP host info or something in remote info area... also I'm a newbie so I don't know what testing server is for..
I put artofhyo.com as my FTP host in remote info area and in host directory I put /public_html/
If there anything else that I need to go to connecto back??
Please help again...
Thanks!

Hi,

Have you tried to connect with an alternative ftp client? You can try artofhyo.com Filezilla which is a free script. You can download it from http://filezilla-project.org/

As you are using dreamweaver, you will want to do the following:

1. open dreamweaver and click on site then edit sites
2. double click your domain that is setup here
3. This will change to a window with 2 tabs, click on advanced
4. click on "remote info" and use the following

Access : FTP
FTP host: artofhyo.com
Host directory: /public_html
Login : CPANEL PASSWORD
Password: CPANEL PASSWORD

5 Make sure that only thing checked on this screen is "use passive FTP"

For the testing server area, you generally do not need anything in here.

Using this should allow you to connect.

With Filezilla, to setup your account  you can go to the site manger (File > Site Manger) and then in that new pop up window hit the new site button and then fill in your FTP info, user name and password.

Thanks for replying mitch,
I somehow cannot find the file>site manager in firezilla server window...
only lists connect to server, disconnect and quit..
and under server menu, just active and lock...

Might make sure you are downloading the Filezilla client and not the Filezilla server software, here is the direct link to what you want:

http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
