Synchronize command not available

[ag5t]

I am trying to configure Dreamweaver so that I can ftp files directly from the Dreamweaver program. I am getting this message:

Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Synchronize commands will not be available.

I tried to use the "put" command to upload a local file I named upload practice.htm. I get the following message:

An FTP error occurred - cannot put upload practice.htm. 553-can't open that file: Permission denied.

Any help will be appreciated.

Server/folder permissions and as DW cannot access the remote server it cannot see which files are newer. Is this a local host or some webspace?

What I'm trying to do is edit the html files on my hard drive and then ftp them to the server at another location. I use my hard drive (private) as a web design area and then when the file is ready I ftp to the server (public). I'd like to use DW as an FTP agent. Thanks.

Go to Edit Sites | Advanced tab | Remote info and make sure that you are pointing to the right remote ftp server, with the right password. There is a Test button there to check all your settings. Check that you're pointing to the FTP server and not to the web server (my ftp server is ftp.essexsteam.co.uk, while the webserver is
