I’ve encountered this maddening issue once before and resorted to major workarounds, but Is there somthing I’m missing when optimizing files in Photoshop CS then trying to upload via DW MX 04? I either get permission denied FTP error, or the photo does not render in any browser.

I can see it in DW and Photoshop, but it will not upload or display.

I think it may have something to do with the Mode or something in PS CS? Perhaps it’s saving some weird file info?? I’ve made sure it’s RGB, Saved for Web, made it 8 bits? Cannot even upload via FTP sometimes and still can’t view online.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to ask the group in macromedia.dreamweaver. The problem is in your connection. DMX does lose it from time to time. See you in that group.

Don’t use the DW FTP. It has a lot of problems and quite often screws up a connection. Purchase proper FTP software (there’s lots around, shareware, good quality and cheap – I use AceFTP Pro) and use that instead. You’ll have a lot more control and, I can say with AceFTP I’ve never had a connection problem and I’ve been using it for a couple of years now. OK, it does mean you have to learn something new, but it’s worth it.

(Ace is at www.visicommedia.com if you’re interested – and I have no connection to the company other than being a happy user <g>).

Contact Macromedia. They have a group for us.

Adding to Hecate’s good information: I find DW MX just fine for uploading… until it hits some kind of Old-Timerz problem with site configurations. A reboot sometimes fixes it, but that is the last resort of the scoundrel. It just sucks. Hound Macromedia!

Agreed. It would be a really nice feature if it worked.

Yep, sounds about right. Dreamweaver’s FTP capability is pretty b0rken. It’s one of the reasons I jumped ship to GoLive, back at version 3 (when GoLive was still called GoLive Cyberstudio).

The other option, if you don’t want to use different Web authoring software, is to use a real FTP application. (The third option which might suggest itself–wait for Macromedia to fix it–is unlikely at best, I fear.)

I have never had a problem with DMX uploads. I hope the OP investigates other issues to be sure his site is properly setup and he hasn’t some broken absolute urls.

Well, as it turns out, it has more to do with Photoshop CS and the save options. Sometimes you just save as a copy for the file to be compatible for upload (or for viewing on the web), or Sometimes you have to check (or uncheck?) the ICC profile, or if saving for web you must make sure that Progressive is checked?

I don’t know enough about what all these options do to pinpoint what the problem is! Even if I upload via FTP, it either a) won’t let me, or
b) upload the file which cannot be viewd online, even if it looked fine
in PS CS.

"ICC Profile" embeds a color profile in the image. Browsers do not generally use this information.

"Optimized" makes a slightly smaller JPEG. Some very old browsers can not read an optimized JPEG.

None of this has any bearing on whether an FTP program can upload a file. The FTP program does not know or care if an image has a profile or is optimized; in fact, it does not know or care if the file is a picture or something else.

It is possible you are uploading in "ASCII mode" or that you have some setting in your FTP program which modifies the file, perhaps by encoding it.

You say that sometimes your FTP program "won’t let you" upload. What does that mean? Does it show you an error message, and if so, what does the error message say?
