GoLive 6.01 FTP -- fatal flaw!

[sher07]

Dear friends:

I downloaded the Tryout version of Golive 6 and discovered that while it is a superb web authoring program, it is fatally flawed due to its flaky built-in FTP client. Since the entire edifice of this magnificent web editor rests on its site management and therefore on its FTP, you can see how disastrous this is.

I did an extensive search on the Net on this matter including, of course, on Adobe's own site. Now here is the strangest thing: Adobe offers an update to GoLive 6 (a 5.4 meg 6.01 update), which, they say, should fix this terrible bug. But, hold on to your hats -- you won't believe this -- this update is explicitly NOT available to those using the Tryout version! Can you believe this? Adobe expects you to shell out hundreds of dollars without even knowing whether their program works properly. Without a fully and properly functioning FTP program, GoLive 6 is severely if not mortally wounded and cannot be recommended. And, to make things even stranger, the FTP in the earlier GoLive 5 worked fine according to reports online. When you try to install the GoLive 6.01 update, you are explicitly told that this update cannot be installed on Tryout versions of GoLive 6.

Can anyone who has Golive 6.01, the full, updated version, report to the list whether the FTP program works properly, whether the update has fixed the "file list not available" bug when trying to get a list of files or directories on the server?

Here are some of the forum responses I found in the archives on the Net:

Thank you all so much.
