Woohooooooo

I think you cracked it man, I had PASV set in the MAC but not the DWMX
Settings.

I love you and want your babies. Metaphorically speaking that is.

hi rob

historically i have had ftp troubles with dreamweaver on the mac...
and although i don't use the ftp part of dreamweaver any more (i now
use Golive for all my web building) i did have a similar issue with
golives ftp and ntl broadband when i got the connection installed last
month... it appears the problem was down to the softwares internal ftp
settings.

in os x, you can change the ftp connection to be PASV in the network
control panel under 'proxies', which is what you need to use on these
types of internet connections. but you also need to set the FTP client
inside your web software to use PASV mode also. i found this in the
advanced tab of the site settings panel in Golive. perhaps there is a
similar tab in dreamweaver?

anyhow, that should be the solution to your problem. i happily upload
all day long now without a hitch.
