What does this do and why would this be necessary?
I got ftp to work without it.

You don't have to do it normally, only when you are blocking a lot of addresses/ ports etc.
On your FTP, the dreamweaver user may not be enabled. I don't know how you are exactly doing it.

I can connect to many other servers using dreamweaver so I don't think it'd the dreamweaver user on my laptop. The dreamweaver ftp client has the same server, user and pword as the ftp client.
ok.
I don't know your architecture. What is not working? Are you trying to ftp to the ftp server from dreamweaver ftp client. Is the user id that dream weaver using is accessed without a trouble without using dreamweaver?

yes and yes
Check the port number that Dream Weaver trying to ftp to. It should be 21.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s <SOURCE_IP_ADDR/MASK> --dport ftp -j ACCEPT
This worked for my ftp client but is not working for Dreamweavers ftp transer method on the same development laptop. Any ideas why dreamweaver won't connect?
