I was working very happily in DW3 -- I had my sites defined, I had my FTP settings all working perfectly, and life was good. But when I recently upgraded to DMX, I lost the ability to FTP. All the defined sites came over, as well as the FTP information. But now when I try to connect to any of my FTP servers, I get "Host found, connecting...retrieveing", then "Waiting for Server", and finally " Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Synchronize commands will not be available". And then I get "Connection to the host has been lost..."

There is some reference to Time Stamp stuff on the macromedia site but it doesn't really say how to fix it. Do I really need to go back to DW3? Help!

Thanks.

Eeek, back to DW3 ?
Have you tried the updater for DW6.0, I hear some timestamp and site definition bugs have been fixed in the update released recently:
www.macromedia.com/support/contribute/ts/documents/updater.htm
it says contribute, but it also says ALL DWMX users should install this update but according to this list:
www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/releasenotes/mx/dwmx61_fixed.html
my problem, exceeding 500 documents under a single master template with several nested templates, is still not fixed.

SOLVED!

I just realized that I had personal web sharing turned on, as well as my OS X firewall... Once I turned both off the DMX ftp worked fine. (Anyone know how to leave web sharing/firewall on and still use DMX ftp? Not critical but it would be nice.)

Anyway, crisis over.
