I'm afraid you are going to have to disable/remove Norton to see if that's
the cause. If you would search these forums here -

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=+group:macromedia.dreamweaver

just for "Norton" you will find that it causes a number of problems for DW
users....

I don't think it is Norton.

If I try a whole bunch of file

It times out on some
Skips a few
Works for a few
Disconnects/reconnects

But if I use the regular FTP with my browser, they always work fine.

All I can tell you is that Norton has been associated with a huge number of
similar FTP problems.

We've noticed the same problem. FTP activity is off the charts at times. It
appears DW can't keep up with file check in/check out status very effectively.
Syncronization information may also be a culprit here. As far as FTP vs.
firewall settings are concerned, services that are requested from your private
network are rarely blocked unless you have done something on your firewall to
screen or prevent traffic originating from your LAN from leaving on a certain
port. As a test, I installed Macromedia MX 2004 and guess what. No FTP issues
at all. Something has definitely changed in the way that DW manages FTP
connections. This issue affects both MAC and WIN versions. Adobe needs to do
something about it rather than pointing users to a generic troubleshooting
guide. I recommend that if you don't need the new features of CS3, and have an
older version (not too old) of Macromedia DW, install it and wait for Adobe to
fix the issue.

By the way - We use the full suite of the Adobe Design/Web products and
overall love them. DW was rushed into the bundle and has not been thoroughly
reworked and integrated into the Adobe suite. Sounds like rush to market caused
the issue.
