I've been managing this site for a long time and update coupons on it approximately every 60 days. For some reason, I'm not having problems:

I opened DW CS5 today and made the changes necessary to update coupons. I was able to connect to the host server with no problem but most of my coupon images were not showing up. DW tells me I have 70 broken links, which can't be the case because I've reviewed them. Some links work and are the same as the broken links other than the file name. Unable to figure it out, I thought maybe restarting my Mac would help. However, upon logging back into DW, I am now unable to connect to the host server. I get an FTP error notice that the file doesn't exist or there is a permissions problem. Funny thing is, I can connect successfully if I test the connection through the Site Management window.

I have connected to my host server through FileZilla and see all the files there, unfortunately, I still can't get the web pages to display the coupons.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what is the solution? I feel like this is probably a simple fix, but I cannot for the life of me determine what it is! If anyone knows a solution, I'd really appreciate the help!

Dreamweaver has this wonderful tendency to 'Update Links?' upon saving, and I think you may have updated the links accidentally, which depending on your setup, caused this. The few images that did work before were probably cached by your browser. What is the URL of your site? If you can provide more details (paths in Dreamweaver, document root on the server, etc.) we may be able to help you. – ionFish Dec 2 '12 at 23:03
