Synchronization would have taken a day or two, one file at a time, for thousands of files tiny and large; a nightmare!
The instructions are ok but the product is a nightmare; a bad dream.
I wanted to download a site that had been edited in another computer while this one was getting fixed. I also wanted to get a better product than Microsoft's Expression Web 4 that I inherited by upgrading and getting for nothing, all the way from the first Front Page that came out in the late 90s (memory ?). Dreamweaver is wonderful, so far, in many ways; but the ftp is a Nightmare.
I bought this product on trust and recommendations, and possibly because there is no alternative. However, the horrific bug of one-channel one-file-at-a-time ftp, has lowered the credibility of Dreamweaver as a professional product.
