Connect to a website

There are two ways you can connect: by using a connection key that was sent to you, or by entering the connection information manually.

Your Contribute administrator does one of the following to help set up a connection to your website for you:

  • Send you an e-mail message with a website connection key file, which you can use to establish a connection to your website. The connection key contains all the network information that Contribute needs for connecting to your website.

  • Provide the network location from where you can download the connection key.

    Note: Connection keys are used only with website connections; they are not used for blog connections.
  • Give you the necessary connection information for the website so you can enter the information in the Connection Wizard (see Create a website connection).

    If you use a Macintosh computer and have a .Mac account, Contribute detects the .Mac account and asks if you want to create a connection to it.

    If your website is managed by Contribute Publishing Server, your administrator sends you a connection key or gives you connection information to enter in the Contribute browser address bar.
