Secure FTP
Using Secure FTP with DreamWeaver
  1. Download PuTTY (putty.exe) and PLink (plink.exe) from the link below:
    PuTTY and SSH integration with Dreamweaver MX
  2. Create a new folder in the configuration folder which is at the root of the Dreamweaver MX application folder. Name this folder "SSH". For example: C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\configuration\SSH.
  3. Place copies of the PuTTY and PLink executables in the new "SSH" folder.
  4. Select Site > Edit Sites to open the Edit Sites dialog box. Select the desired site and click Edit. Select the Advanced tab, choose the Remote Info category and enter the following information:
    1. Choose FTP in the Access pop-up menu.
    2. In the FTP host field, enter the host name of www.skidmore.edu
    3. In the Host Directory field, enter the path to the directory that contains the remote site files. This is the same as if you were connecting using FTP.
    4. Check the Use SSH encrypted secure login checkbox. Note: Choosing this option will automatically enable Passive mode and the Use Passive mode option will be selected. Passive Mode is required.

     

  5. Click OK to close the Site Definition dialog box then click Done to close the Edit Sites dialog. Click the connect icon.
  6. A command window will appear, prompting you to enter a username and password to create the SSH session. After entering username and password, click OK in the Dreamweaver dialog box that appears to confirm that SSH login is complete. Dreamweaver will then connect automatically using FTP.


    When disconnecting, a dialog will appear:

    "An FTP session for (name of site) has been closed, reset or canceled. If this failure occurred while attempting to connect, it may be due to an unsuccessful SSH login attempt. Do you want to terminate the SSH session?"
    Although this dialog can appear as the result of an unsuccessful attempt to create an SSH session, it will also appear each time an FTP session is closed or if the FTP connection has timed out. To re-establish the FTP connection, click the connection icon. If an SSH session is still open, you will have the option of using the open session. If no SSH session is open, a command line window will appear prompting you to enter your login and password.
