I don't use dreamweaver but the ftp host is upload.comcast.net   Some publishing programs might use this format instead: ftp://upload.comcast.net

 

In most publishing programs the host directory is left blank and will once connected by default will publish to the root directory for your username.

Be careful with case of filenames. Index.HTML is not the same as index.html.

 

Some people have had trouble using Dreamweaver's built-in uplaod facilty and just switched to using a standalone FTP program. But hopefully Again's settings work for you.

Re: Dreamweaver FTP settings- Please HELP! Analysts at comcast are totally useless!!!

Hello,

 

I use Dreamweaver CS3 and have a site in a subdirectory. The site uploads and I can actually view the homepage, but no images show up, I get the dreaded red "x" instead. I verified that the images uploaded through the file manager. I have the images in a separate directory from the default "Images" folder, I have it in a "graphics" folder instead. Any help would be appreciated.

Double check the case of the file names of the images versus the case used in the links to the images. my64impala.jpg is not the same file as My64Impala.JPG or any other combination of upper and lower case letters.

 

Post the url (http://home.comcast.net/~username/subdirectory/filename.html) of your site and we can look at the path for the links.
