    .HTML and .DWT files in folders have 0kb size

      Hey guys,

       

      I was just setting up a new client on the system and I have an issue with uploading HTML and DWT files through Dreamweaver.  The files end up on the server but each is a 0kb file.  Here are my steps:

       

      1. In Partner Portal I created a new site
      2. I chose to start with a blank slate/template
      3. I logged in via Dreamweaver CS5's BC Extension as I normally do and set the local directory of the project
      4. I was moving a static HTML site over to this site so the design and files were done already. So once the project was setup in DW I selected all the files in the project folder and uploaded them to the remote site via the Files panel in DW.
      5. The upload completed and did not note any errors or problems.
      6. I logged into the BC Admin and went to update some URLs of the pages and I noticed the first .html file in a folder had 0kb.

       

      I noticed that this problem only occurred in files that are uploaded to a folder. IE- I had a folder called "contact" and a file index.html inside.  I uploaded this folder and the rest via the Files panel in DW. I DID NOT create the folders through BC first.  The same thing happens with .DWT files too.  Although, in this case, since I had a "Templates" directory locally and I'm assuming one was created by BC on the remote host when I created the account it's probably not having to do with users creating folders through FTP/Files panel in DW.

       

      The .html files in the root of the site are fine. All my JS and CSS files in their folders are also fine.  It just seems to be .HTML and .DWT files in folders that have 0kb.

       

      Has anyone seen this? 

       

      I have to get this site live in a rush tomorrow so I'm either going to delete the folders via FTP and create all the pages/folder first in BC and copy and paste the code over from DW to BC Admin area manually.  I'm not excited about doing that as it will add hours onto this site when moving a static site over should be pretty quick.  Now I have to create all the pages and templates manually.
