Quick clarification: "dependent files" means the assets an HTML page references — images, CSS, JavaScript, server includes, etc. Dreamweaver will only upload those automatically if it can resolve the references from a correctly defined local site. 's question about the term is the right place to start: missing dependents usually point to site mapping, path types, or an interrupted transfer.

Practical checklist to isolate and fix the problem:

  • Confirm the local site folder and remote folder mapping so Dreamweaver can locate referenced files.
  • Use the upload action that includes dependent files (the option to include related assets), not a one-file-only put.
  • Avoid absolute local paths (file:// or C:...). Use relative or site-root-relative links so the tool can find and upload the files.
  • Test from a wired connection — as discovered, unstable Wi‑Fi can drop transfers and make uploads incomplete.
  • Try Passive FTP or SFTP if the host supports it; temporarily rule out firewall/antivirus interference.
  • Use a standalone FTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP) to see whether the server accepts all files; comparing results shows whether Dreamweaver or the host is at fault.
  • After upload, open the live page and use the browser devtools network tab to spot any 404s and the exact missing paths.

If problems persist, increase FTP timeout settings, clear Dreamweaver’s site cache, and perform a controlled full-site upload in small batches. Also check for assets included by CSS @import or server-side generation — Dreamweaver may not detect those automatically. If an alternate FTP client uploads everything correctly, focus on Dreamweaver site settings or contact the host with specific missing-path examples and timestamps.

Do yu have the FTP set to upload only changed files or the whole site?
