FTP Timing Out – OS Issue?

Hi! I’m having issues with posting to my FTP site. I’ve done lots of google-ing, but haven’t found an answer yet.

The computer that’s having the problem is a Mac OS 10.4.11 – the issue occurs with Dreamweaver Mx, Dreamweaver CS4 AND Fetch.

I have my ftp remote server set up (using passive ftp) in Dreamweaver, and when I click ‘test’ it successfully connects to the server. But when I try to post something, it starts out fine, then I get ‘waiting for server’, and eventually it times out without finishing the post.

The same thing happens with Fetch – it will start an upload, and then freeze and time out.

I know it’s not a server issue, because I have another computer on the same network (running OS 10.3.9 and Dreamweaver MX) that works great. When I post something it stays connected and uploads everything in one shot.

The settings are exactly the same on both computers – the only thing I can think of is that this is an ftp issue with the OS. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I tried posting with 'passive' off and on - doesn't resolve the issue.

@rebeckyhauthorNov 16.2009 — We upgraded some of our boxes to 10.5.8 and the FTP is now working great on those - but the boxes with 10.4.11 are still having FTP problems with all FTP programs.

Is this a preference setting in the OS that's causing the problems? It seems to definitely be an OS 10.4.11 issue. Does anyone have any more ideas?

Thanks!
