Dreamweaver CS3 Mac: Slow FTP


ftp connect super slow on intel imac.  have both dw8 , dw cs3, , both intermittently produce long delays while uploading files.  files upload in 2-3 seconds, other times i'll sit , wait 45-60 seconds upload finish.  upload fails entirely.  i've changed every site related setting (and tried every imaginable combination), turned off external file display , invisible items display, can't reliable upload speeds.

 

the crazy thing while dw sitting there, can manually fire terminal, type connect ftp server info, manually copy , paste username , password, type cd , lcd info, type put file name, , file transfer done before dw finishes.  of course don't want forced use terminal that's built dw, , don't want switch finder , fetch every time either.  if has suggestions on else might try i'd grateful (especially if 1 of suggestions works!).

 

relevant specifics:

 

2.16 intel core 2 duo imac
os 10.5.6
4gb 533 mhz ddr2 sdram

 

osx firewall settings:
set access specific services, allow incoming connections dw

site:

disconnect after 30 mins

save before putting

i've been struggling problem months, , during time contacted network solutions repeatedly try determine source of problem. won't put in direct contact person knows anything, instead "escalate" issues techs, send copy/paste form letters 2-3 days later saying everything's fine.

 

after running every diagnostic imaginable, , reinstalling os, decided open test account godaddy.com.  got me set in minutes, , ftp response in dw immediate, should be.  due fact network solutions didn't lift finger resolve ftp problem apparently on end whole time, numerous other problems i've been reporting weeks, i've dropped them.  i'm happy godaddy far, , ftp has been glorious since switched.  offer customer service in native tongue, english.  imagine that.
