Creating a Connection to Your Website in Contribute
You will either:
Receive a connection key with instructions from Web Services, sent to your campus email.
or…
Need to manually create a website connection in Contribute.
To manually create a website connection in Contribute:
- Open Contribute and when presented with the Start Page click Website Connection on the left to create a new website connection.
- Click Continue to create a manual connection.
- Type in the URL (web site address) of the website you wish to edit or click Browse to search for your website using a web browser. Click Continue.
- When Contribute asks “How do you connect to your web server?” choose FTP unless your server administrator has instructed you differently.
- Enter the FTP connection information provided by your server administrator and click Continue.
- Enter your full name and email address when Contribute asks for them and click Continue.
- Contribute will then verify that you have successfully connected to your website. Click Finish. If you do not successfully connect to your website check your settings and try again. If this does not work contact your server administrator to find out if any settings have been edited/added that would affect your connectivity.
