 WHY
DO I GET A 503 ERROR IN DREAMWEAVER? |
QUESTION
------------------------------------------------------
I am using dream weaver mx and I can connect on all my other computers but this
one - it keeps giving me "An FTP error occured - cannot make connection to
host. 530 authentication failed, sorry"
You got any Ideas?
ANSWER
------------------------------------------------------
First make sure you have the correct username and password for the ftp settings.
Also try making another ftp account for dreamweaver and see if you still have
the same problem. Also if you are ftping to the domain (ftp.domain.com) try the
IP instead or if using the IP try the domain.
Here is snippet from Dreamweaver which addresses some issues with the 530 error:
*************
Dreamweaver TechNoteFTP errors and loss of connection: 530,550
Issue
Some users are getting FTP errors while putting files on their remote servers.
Reason
One reason may be that the files are not transferring before the time-out
setting in Dreamweaver preferences has been reached, causing the connection to
be lost. This preference can be reset to allow more time to process files,avoid
FTP errors,and improve FTP reliability.
Solution
In the Dreamweaver preferences, set the time-out feature to a higher number to
allow more time to transfer files.
To solve the problem do the following: 1 Go to the preferences under Edit.
2 Select Site FTP.
3 In the FTP time-out field enter a higher amount. A setting of 60 is good.
Additional information
For additional information please refer to Error message using Put or Check-in
files: Cannot create directory...it already exists.
