Can someone please tell me where GoLive stores the list of FTP servers and the login data for them? I just bought a MacBookPro, installed GoLive CS2 but I have no idea how to transfer all the FTP server login data stored in GoLive on my G5 over to the laptop installation. Thanks a lot.

Under the Site Menu, go to Settings, then choose Publish Server.

Hi LRK. Thanks a lot. Please bare with me but what I meant are all the FTP servers, login names and passwords in the FTP client in GoLive. You seem to know more than I do about site files but I think that is not what I need. Not sure though. I have about 30 FTP servers stored in the GoLive FTP client and I do not remember most of the passwords. I don't know how to transfer that info to the laptop. There must be some kind of a preference file in the Mac somewhere which keeps all that info. Thanks.

I tried to copy the "Adobe GoLive 8.0 Prefs" file from the G5 to the laptop and after restarting the app on the laptop all FTP login data was gone. Now I lost even the login info I had in the laptop. This really sucks. I can't find any info anywhere on this issue. There must be a way to do this. Please help. Thanks.

Oh man....finally I got it. Here is how to do it: While copying the "Adobe GoLive 8.0 Prefs" file from one machine - which has all the FTP servers data stored - to the other installation of GoLive on another machine you have to quit the application on both machines. GoLive can't be running on neither of them. Copy the Prefs file directly to the Preferences folder in the other machine. And all the settings will be transferred. Works fine. My problem was that I had GoLive running on the laptop and therefore could not change the Prefs file. I feel like an idiot for doing that but at least I figured it out. Thanks LRK for trying to help.

By the way here is where you'll find the Prefs file on a MacOSX: Go to your home folder -> Library -> Preferences -> Adobe GoLive 8.0 Prefs

I was just going to say exactly that. As for prefs files for Adobe apps they are always written on quit and you should never have an application open if you want to copy it's preferences. In th case of GoLive (any version) it is a good idea to make a backup of that prefsfile in case it somehow should get damaged as it really holds all settings for everything.

Thanks, ...now I know :-) I never felt like messing around with any of the system files ever since OSX came out. As for Go Live - I worked with it for many years - long before it became an Adobe product and I was fine with it. It really hurts that Adobe dropped it. Anyone feels the same? Thank God they kept this forum :-)

How long this forum will survive is an open question when they "update" the forums - which is not so far away I believe. As alternative there is still the lassosoft golive mailinglist. Yu can subscribe here <http://www.listsearch.com/GoLive/> and see archives here <http://www.listsearch.com/GoLive/Browse/index.lasso>.

Nini - I just looked at your site and turns out its an excellent resource for all kinds of info. It must have taken a lot of time to collect all the stuff you've got there... Thanks for all the work - I'll be back.

Hi Stano,
I'm glad you were able to figure it out. The idea crossed my mind about the preference file, but then I quickly dismissed it. I had no idea that the preference file would contain all the usernames and passwords.
As for Go Live - I worked with it for many years - long before it became
an Adobe product and I was fine with it. It really hurts that Adobe dropped
it. Anyone feels the same?
I feel it pretty much on a daily basis. It has cost me time, money, sleep, and caused much anguish at times. I'm trying to work on my attitude, but I am not happy with Adobe over this.

Hi LRK - welcome to the club... I feel exactly the same. Shortly after Adobe bought GoLive I was at an Adobe presentation in Toronto and someone there told me that Adobe did so just to kill the application after a while. It sounded like a conspiracy theory at that time... . I speculate that it was a part of a bigger deal with Macromedia. What we are experiencing is just "collateral damage".
