Sharing Website Connections

Using the Macromedia Contribute Export Connection Wizard (Windows) or Export Connection Assistant (Macintosh), you can easily set up connections to websites for other users. The wizard provides an efficient mechanism through which Contribute users can share website connections for collaboration. Contribute lets you share website connection information by embedding website information within a file that you can either e-mail to users, or save to your computer for users to download and import.

The Export Connection Wizard or Assistant lets you send a website connection to users in the form of a connection key file. Because the connection key is encrypted with a password, any network or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) login information you send in the file remains secure, and can be accessed only through Contribute. The connection key file uses the filename extension .stc. If you double-click the file, either on the desktop or as an e-mail attachment, Contribute starts and imports the connection.
