As we only use FTPS rather than plain FTP there are some settings to be aware of when connecting via FTP in Dreamweaver.

Here are the settings:

Servername: This can be whatever you like

Connect Using: Make sure you select 'ftp over SSL/TLS (explicit encryption)' from the drop down menu

FTP Address: This should be your servers hostname or IP address, for example "yourservername.nh-serv.co.uk"

Username: Your FTP Username

Password: Your FTP Password

Root Directory: Important! Leave this blank

Web URL: Your sites URL

You will also need to make sure that the passive mode check box is ticked.
