FTP Problems

Whats Up Guys,

I am managing this guys webpage in dreamweaver (just started). He just needs me to do a few simple things, change address, pictures, etc. I entered all the correct info for the ftp settings in dreamweaver. And it DOES connect to the remote server. After making changes to a page and saving, when I sync up everything appears to go fine. But when I go to view the page on the internet NONE of the changes I made show up

I really have no idea why this is. Maybe its something simple I am overlooking. Could it be that the original guy that was managing this page did it on a PC and I am managing it on a MAC? would this really make a differance. Am I missing a step?

LOL the developer's operating system has nothing to do with how the web sites show up :P

I couldn't really tell you what the problem is because I use a 3rd party FTP. Most of the time these problems are very simple oversights, like uploading the wrong folder/file/etc.

try deleting the files in your temporary internet folder or cache, depending upon your browser.

Also get a ftp program and go to the site to verify that the pages went where they were supposed to go and the file names were exactly the same. Sometimes the pages are saved as html when it should have been htm.

One thing, it may be easier to manage the website using adobe contribute.
