Is anyone else having trouble connecting to S drive?. I've been trying for several days now to update my site and I keep getting connection errors. I checked and double checked my internet connection and password and don't seem to have any problems there. Errors are "Connection lost to server" and "Visual Site Designer was unable to establish a connection to your server. ..." Sometimes I get the "Upload in progress" indication and it seems to be uploading fine, but never finishes until it times out. Never had any problems until this weekend.

Thanks,

Try this start a new site and do nothing to it. Now save it. now open your old site and try publishing.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric. I started a new website in VSD, saved it, then opened my old site and tried publishing, same results. Thinking the firewall was an issue, I turned it off and tried publishing, same thing. I'm stumped on this one. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Did you test your s-drive settings in VSD under Publish?

On the Publish dropdown menu I re-entered my pw in S-drive settings and it verifies my account ok. Is that what your talking about?

Eric, No that didn't fix it. It turned out to be my antivirus software. I used my support room and Scott (at CC) responded indicating he thought it was being caused by a conflict with a security program. I disabled my antivirus software and bang!, website loaded right up. Now, just to figure out how to allow my antivirus program to allow VSD access to the internet.

Thanks for all your help.
