I have been using WS FTP for years without a problem. I usually only use that program. I also have Dreamweaver set up to ftp. Recently I have getting a lot of permission denied. If I go to OPS and check packages, under FTP, I see;
Your main user does not own your home directory. Contact....

99.9% of the time, of am the only user. This problem happened 5 times in the past week. The do something and it is ok. Today, I upload one web page for corrections. I used Dreamweaver. Later I did some changes and got that error message again. So I can't correct anything until they fix/reset something.
This happened, Sun, Mon Tues, Thurs and today.
Things have been working great for months. Then just recently this happened. I haven't made any major changes to the web page or anything. It seems I get one chance to upload and then within an hour, the problem is back.

Any Suggestions. Support keeps resetting something but then it is back

Thanks

Not an expert with Dreamweaver, but could it be resetting the permissions on the folder when you upload??

Maybe next time support reset things trying to upload a few files with some other program to start with could illiminate Dreamweaver. I had the self-same issue about 2-weeks ago and support eventually reset something and its worked perfectly since (down-time of callisto excepted). The problem had occurred following the change of sub-domain systems by Powweb.

Do you use sub-domains via php or via the new system (a folder level with htdocs)?

I've always used .htaccess ...and never had any problems.

Sorry, that's what I meant when I said PHP - got confused. I hadn't an .htaccess (nor really got a live site either) but used sub-directories as hidden areas to store files, until Powweb changed things.
