    Dreamweaver can no longer connect to my sftp host

      I have been using Dreamweaver to connect an upload files to a GoDaddy server using sftp. One day last month, this stopped working. I get the error "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. FileZilla connects to my host with the same connections. I also downloaded the latest Dreamweaver from Creative Cloud and it connects no problem. I need to get Dreamweaver 5.5 to connect as the new version with the trial ran out.

       

      I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, using the AdobeCreativeCloud Cleaner Tool, using Revo uninstaller. When I re-install Dreamweaver 5.5, the site settings pop up again, so my thoughts are even in the uninstall, files remain that have some incorrect setting for this server. As a result, I renamed the configuration folder, reset the cache. No change. I cannot connect to this GoDaddy host and no matter what I do, Site Settings still hold details for my login.

       

      How can I completely wipe this installation and all settings so that whatever is stuck in the background clears?

       

      Or, can you suggest an alternative method? I read that it is possible that GoDaddy changed the IP address of their SSH server and that some folder or file called ssh_settings may have to be reset.
