    Wouldn't your server provider have this information?

    Hey thanks for the response.  I'm using Hostmonster and they have been most unhelpfull with this issue.  I am so tired of trying to connect that I am considering finding another hosting company after being with Hostmonster for many years.  Very frustrated.

    Wow, I've always heard good things about host monster. What do they say when you ask them for the FTP login info?

    They just seem to loose interest in my problem based on the fact that they don't use Dreamweaver.  The comment was..  "There are pleny of good forums out there!"  and basically good Fing Luck!

    After thinking about this, I'm not sure they would have your FTP login info anyway. Have you considered just setting up a new FTP profile in DW for your current site?

    Hi Again,  You know you are probably right and in their defense, they did take me to their Cpanel and showed me around the Files/FTP Connections area but it's when I get back to DW on my own that the probs cont.  I'm a real smart guy but will admit that this area of web design has always left me in the dark.  I just wish there were exact directions some place to this problem.  I'll try what you have suggested.  Thanks for all the help,  Morgan

    lol Very good reason to keep a database or spreadsheet of your login names and passwords for everything!

     

    I created a simple little coldfusion app with a MySQL database for such a reason. Now I only have to remember to insert usernames and passwords when I have to create new ones.

    You are right again...  I'll keep working on this.  You know..  "this too shall pass" it can't continue forever and I love making pages so much there's no way I'm giving up...  One of these days I'm going to see..  "Connection Secured!"
