As a note to self, and whoever lands up here through a search engine:
If Dreamweaver MX starts throwing up errors like this:
Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Synchronize commands will not be available.
The file listing in the Remote View will be blank as well.
To fix this, check the Remote Settings page in the Edit Site window - ‘the Use Passive FTP’ box should be checked so that the connection uses passive FTP. Problem disappears…
