134 Tutorial: Publishing Your Site
Troubleshoot the remote folder
setup (optional)
A web server can be configured in many ways. The following list provides
information about some common issues you may encounter in setting up a
remote folder, and how to resolve them:
■
The Dreamweaver FTP implementation may not work properly with
certain proxy servers, multilevel firewalls, and other forms of indirect
server access.
If you encounter problems with FTP access, ask your local system
administrator for help.
■
For the Dreamweaver FTP implementation, you must connect to the
remote system’s root folder. (In many applications, you can connect to
any remote directory, and then navigate through the remote file system
to find the directory you want.)
Be sure that you indicate the remote system’s root folder as the host
directory.
If you have problems connecting, and you’ve specified the host
directory using a single slash (/), you might need to specify a relative
path from the directory you are connecting to and the remote root
folder.
For example, if the remote root folder is a higher-level directory, you
may need to use ../../ to specify the host directory.
■
File and folder names that contain spaces and special characters often
cause problems when transferred to a remote site.
Use underscores in place of spaces, and avoid special characters in file
and folder names wherever possible. In particular, colons (:), slashes (/),
periods (.), and apostrophes (‘) in file or folder names can cause
problems. Special characters in file or folder names may also sometimes
prevent Dreamweaver from creating a site map.
■
If you encounter problems with long filenames, rename them with
shorter names. On Macintosh, filenames cannot be more than
31 characters long.
