Dreamweaver Losing FTP Username and Password

Posted under Dreamweaver by ifoundafix

The other day while browsing the Internet I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

Every time I open Dreamweaver I receive the message “an ftp error occurred – cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information.”. When I enter the information in manage sites it works perfectly. Unfortunately this happens every time I close and re-open dreamweaver.

The solution and description to this error is set out below;

The Adobe 8.0.2 update fixes a problem of FTP usernames and passwords in Dreamweaver site definitions being deleted when you close and re-open Dreamweaver 8 or when you reboot your machine. This problem is the result of a change introduced in Internet Explorer 7.

You can download the update from here; 

I would like to acknowledge the assistance and thank Adobe for their solution which can also be found here

I hope you too have Found A Fix!

    Thank you very much, I’ve been looking everywhere for a solution for this. This works for Dreamweaver 8, right? Because I don’t have CS3.

    Well, I hope so. Thanks anyway!

    This problem is happening on Dreamweaver CS4 too. Any fixes/updates yet for CS4?

  3. madunk Said,

    Yes. I am having the same trouble in CS4. Can’t find a fix.

  4. admin Said,

    Did you upgrade from version 8?

  5. moloko_man Said,

    I fixed my problem… If you are on a mac, then you can do the following to fix the problem.

    make sure that dreamweaver is NOT open, then
    1. in Disk Utilities verify disk permissions, if you run into errors Fix permissions
    2. in Keychain Access, run “Keychain First Aid”

    open up dreamweaver and re-enter in the ftp info and it will be saved from here on out.

    If you’re on a PC, sorry can’t help you there.

    Thanks. It seems the cause and resolution can vary. I’d be interested in hearing other fixes??
