You use the Advanced Connection Settings dialog box to set options for your organizations FTP connection and firewall, and to apply additional security for accessing your website.
To set advanced connection settings, select the options you want to apply:
Use passive FTP to connect to the server enables Contribute to initiate the FTP connection, rather than relying on the remote server to set it up. To use passive FTP, the firewall must be configured to allow the FTP client to set up the FTP connection.
Use firewall settings when connecting lets you specify a firewall host and the port number through which FTP access is allowed. If you select this option, or if you click the Firewall Settings button, the Firewall category of the Preferences dialog box appears; enter the name of the firewall host and the firewall port number through which FTP access is enabled.
Note: The Firewall category is part of the Contribute Preferences dialog box. The firewall host and port number are global settings for the entire application, not just for the website connection you are creating. You cannot create multiple Contribute website connections using different firewall settings.
Require Contribute startup password lets you protect access to websites from unauthorized users by requiring anyone using your computer to log in to Contribute. If you select this option, Contribute opens the Security Preference dialog box; type the login password you want users to enter and then confirm the password.
Note: The Security category is part of the Contribute Preferences dialog box. The Contribute startup password is a global setting for the entire application--not just for the website connection you are creating.
