I Need To Upload Changed Image Sizes

I am needing to compress images in my media library for WordPress and when I try to upload the changed images I get this message:

https://gyazo.com/5af8526879a73fa54b0a1b70708c81bf

The original file is 25K and the compressed file is 19K.  This isn't much but I have lots of images that will need to be uploaded in the same manner.  In which the only thing that will be different is their file size.

Please tell me how I can get this accomplished thru Dreamweaver CC 2018.

Thanks,

Looks like the compressed file is either a different name or however you're pushing images fails to recognize placeholder.png has actually changed.

the name is the same.  You are correct, that is what I need to get Dreamweaver to recognize.
My guess is this is a Dreamweaver problem.

Be sure make sure you're running latest Dreamweaver version.

If you are, likely best to open a Dreamweaver issue ticket, for them to fix their code.
Try to upload the image using cpanel from hosting company or using FTP.
Also be aware the Dreamweaver can add unwanted code in your page so if you can use another tool like Notepad++ or  Brackets

of you have a budget http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm
I usually use a plugin that will optimise all the images.
Maybe try a plugin ?
such as:

Tiny-compress-images is certainly an option but I was trying to go another route first.  I would use sftp but I am running into a problem which is another question that has been posted and needs to be answered before I can use that method.

I prefer dreamweaver but I can use an sftp program instead.
I have tried other optimizers and pagespeed didn't recognize their changes just like Adrian said.
