Uploading my website Using Dreamweaver 8

[Aza1]

Hello

I have been trying to upload my website using dreamweaver 8 but I got lost in the window where you have to write the FTP host, host directory etc.. Does any one know how can I do that????

I have done this
Access: FTP
FTP Host: yourdomain.com
Host Directory: public_html/
Login: yourdoma (your username that was sent in the Setup Email)
Password: Your Password

But it show up an Error everytime I do it...

I got an E-mail from techsupport saying : If the domain nameservers are not set to ns1.hostmonster.com and
ns2.hostmonster.com, then you NEED to use the server IP address for the FTP
server or Hostname.

What is that mean????? Can anyone help me PLEASE...

Thanks a lot guys.....:)

it mean the domain name is not pointed to the hostmonster server. this can happen if your Nameserver setting is not set to ns1.hostmonster.com, or it can because of new domain registration. for this wait for domain propagation.

meantime, in the email that you receive while signup, should have clear instruction on to which IP to connect to. use your account loginname and password as ftp default account.

Thank you very much for your help Charlesgan.. I could finally solve the problem, I don't know why I can't connect using Secure FTP, I had to unselect it and select use passive FTP, I don't know why that happens...but that solved the problem

Thanks a lot...

secure ftp is a subsystem of the ssh (secure shell) system, wich is not active by default. you have to send in a scan of an id/passport to hostmonster to get it active.

sftp isn't necessary if you upload from a private network, if you're at an insecure network your password is sent plaintext so sftp would be a good idea.

In Dreamweaver under FTP host type in only the numbered portion of the FTP url that was provided to you in the e-mail you where sent after you signed up for the hosting package 74.220.2xx.xxx I just placed some x's there for privacy but there would be numbers there for the ip so just type in the IP numbers. All of your other settings are correct.

I have the same problem. Even after putting the IP and account details right.

In my dreamweaver:

FTP
74.220.202.42
public_html/
acclogin
passwd


Do I need to do something else????

Thanks for your help...

If you are using your main CPanel account, then you should be fine. If you are trying to use an FTP account you created manually, then you will have to use the full FTP name "acclogin@yourdomain.com".
