It keeps saying Visual Site Designer was unable to establish a connection to your server. But I have shut down my firewall and I can go online.Why?

I wanted to concur with yyingwon on that issue. I get the same response, just attempting to open my s-drive with VSD.
I tried to use my login info here, on the CoffeeCup site, what I use to login and access my s-Drive and get that same response from the server. IE
user=
user@user.net
password=
somerandompass
I tried ano and fails too.

I get the error;
Connection Refused

We fixed "yyingwon" issue simply by doing the following.

1. Open your website and then go to the File Menu > Save as and then navigate to your desktop, create a new folder and save your website into there. Now restart VSD and open the newly saved website.

2. Go to Publish > CoffeeCup Account Settings and enter in your CoffeeCup account information

3. Go to Publish > Choose a Publishing Destination and select your S-Drive account

4. Click Publish

On the dash board and then on the "Settings" tab did you select Show my "Site" on home page on the "Service Setting" box?:)
