Very Annoying FTP Problem

dreamweaver not let me ftp root directory of site allows me read , write subdirectory.  reason, according ftp log outlined below:

 

< 226 directory send ok.

> cwd /

< 250 directory changed.

> cwd /images

< 550 failed change directory.

 

even though i'm trying upload file root reason dw trying change directory '/images'.  folder symlink (and picked dw) , i'm using passive mode:

 

> cwd /

< 250 directory changed.

> pasv

< 227 entering passive mode (*).

> list -al

< 150 here comes directory listing.

< lrwxrwxrwx    1 502      50             16 apr 16 14:49 images -> /mnt/san/images/

 

this folder cloaked on remote server , not exist on local machine i've no idea why dw trying access folder.  permissions fine , can ftp root directory using command line , same ftp account without issue:

 

ftp> put "foo.bar" /foo.bar

local:foo.bar: /foo.bar

229 entering extended passive mode (|||44317|).

150 ok send data.

100% |**************************************************************|   834        5.89 mib/s    00:00 eta

226 transfer complete.

it's driving me mad because i'm using subversion (which works fine) , every time need commit change live in root directory have revert command line.

 

so, why dw doing , more importantly how can stop trying cwd '/images', killing ftp process?

what entries have in ftp section of site definition?
