Thinking about replacing Dreamweaver

bdham Advanced Member USA 308 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 01/27/2018 : 13:33:13 Hi, I have used Dreamweaver for quite a few years now. The cost of Adobe CC is getting too expensive and I want to get opinions on moving to a different web dev app. I have the PHP responsive design in DWT and want to know how painful it will be to change to a different tool. I am reading that Microsoft Expression Web might be a good alternative. Any thoughts? Thanks, Brad

Here's that thread: https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=109018 Keep in mind that both the editors you mention are discontinued and have challenges with secure FTP. Dreamweaver prior to CS5.5 doesn't support it at all and neither Dreamweaver CS or Expression in any version can work with TLS v1.2, so as security standards march ever onward you might find you need a separate FTP client to actually transfer your files to/from your server.

FTP within cs6 never an issue, but prefer filezilla or something similar... When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.

DW offers removal tool for CC even then it may not uninstall all the bits and pieces DW puts on computers. I'd recommend making a backup of the hard drive and registry prior to uninstalling CC just in case. It looks like DWcs6 does support TLS 1.2 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2263811 EW4 has the same connection types.

How much that matters depends on the security posture of your host, you might just have to use a separate FTP client for file transfer if it does get to be an issue, some say that's more reliable anyway Peter ServeLink Professional ecommerce web hosting for ASP & PHP https://servelink.com Take a look at our image upload/resize tool for the ASP cart https://servelink.com/clients/cart?gid=7

Mostly interested in either buying a copy of Dreamweaver CS5 or CS6 OR replacing with a different WYSIWYG tool that will manage the template.

I use DWCS6 but have always used FileZilla FTP for the up & downloading. The web host I use supports secure FTP & FileZilla supports TLS1.2 Steve Bolton, Lancashire, United Kingdom.

insight ECT Moderator USA 4479 Posts	Posted - 01/30/2018 : 09:34:04 CuteFTP does now support TLS v1.2 as it happens, you need their version 9.2 that was released a month ago . I'm not a Windows user, but CuteFTP was always my favorite when I had to use it and I was happy to see it updated after five years of being abandoned. Works nicely.

drivers Ecommerce Template Expert USA 890 Posts	Posted - 01/30/2018 : 17:16:42 agreed, use a different FTP for file transfers. I just got off the phone with Adobe, my copy is clean and ready to install- serial number is good to go. Simply would need to download the file from a link I have, unzip, load the program, and enter the serial number. Wouldnt even need my hard copy! When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.
drivers Ecommerce Template Expert USA 890 Posts	Posted - 01/30/2018 : 17:22:19 of course if you want the hard copy retail box I can send that as well... let me know, Im posting it on eBay today :) I can send you the link When it gets late at night, go to bed... try again tomorrow.
