Selecting an export method for the connection key
The purpose of this dialog box is to send the connection
key to users by e-mail or save it to your local computer or a file
server on the network.
Select whether you want to send the connection key to
users by e-mail, or save it as a file to your local computer.
The
method you select depends on whether you send it using web-based
e-mail or another e-mail application:
If you use a
web-based e-mail account (such as Hotmail or Yahoo!) to send the
connection key, save the connection key as a file on your local
disk and attach it manually to the e-mail message.
If you select to save the key to disk, you can decide whether
to save the connection key to your computer’s local disk or to a
network location.
If you send the file to users through a non-web-based e-mail
application, your e-mail application starts up when the Export Connection
Wizard (Windows) or Export Connection Assistant (Mac OS) finishes
running. The e-mail application then creates an explanatory e-mail
message with the connection key attached.
Note: In
Mac OS, Contribute works with the following default e-mail applications: Mail,
Eudora, and Entourage.
Enter a password or pass phrase to encrypt the connection
key, and then enter it again.
To protect your website and
ensure the safety of your network, connection keys are encrypted
using a password or pass phrase that you select. (A pass phrase
is like a password but can be longer than one word.) Be sure you
send the connection key encryption password to the users who will
import the website connection. Without knowing the correct password,
users cannot import the website.
Note: Do not include the password you use to encrypt the connection key in the e-mail message with the connection key. Send the password in a separate message, or communicate it to users verbally.
