FTP Time Out option
Client-server communication is prone to glitches. Rather than hanging up your machine while trying to
reach a server that is down or slow, Dreamweaver alerts you to an apparent problem after a set period. You
can determine the number of seconds you want Dreamweaver to wait by altering the FTP Time Out value.
The default is 60 seconds.

FTP Transfer options: Select Default Action In Dialogs After __ Seconds
I often start a large FTP process (like uploading an entire site) and then go for my morning blast of coffee.
Unfortunately, this means that I sometimes miss a prompt, such as ???Do you want to overwrite this file???? or
???Do you want to upload all dependent files???? With earlier versions of Dreamweaver, I??™d come back an hour
later (I drink a lot of coffee) and nothing would be done. Check this handy option to have Dreamweaver
accept the default action for the prompt after a set number of seconds.
This action is enabled by default, but be sure you know what the default values for most
dialogs are before checking this box. The default action for uploading files is to include
dependent files. If you have out-of-date files on your local machine, the latest awesome logo your graphic
designer uploaded last night might be overwritten.
