Can't connect to server to upload site!

[royalwolf]

Using the same "site" (.ste file) that allows me to edit my online files with
my laptop, I can't do the same when I am on my home PC.

I get this error:

An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Dreamweaver
encountered an internal data error. Please try the operation again.

Am I doing somthing stupid here? Remember that the same .ste file works at
school. Maybe I need to reinstall DW? Any ideas?

Thanks all,

try changing the passive ftp setting.

also, I have noticed that you need to change from the 'remote info' to
eg, 'local info' and come back to 'remote info' after changing this
setting or it doesnt 'take', and you get that 'internal data error'

so, mess with the passive ftp, and using the test button, and see if
you can get in.

do you possibly have a firewall problem? Try checking Passive FTP on the
machine at home and see if that helps.

Ha! Success. I clicked on the "secure" option and it worked. Maybe our school
server requires a secure connection from off-campus.

Thanks for the tip, it pointed me in the right direction!

You mean "Passive"?

No, it was "secure" for sure. "Passive" didn't do anything. I won't pretend to know why! LOL!
