Providing FTP or SFTP information

If you choose to connect to the website using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), you must enter the name of the FTP server, your FTP user name, and your FTP password.

Some organizations use a firewall, a system that prevents unauthorized access to an intranet from outside. If your organization has a firewall, you may need to configure Contribute to work with it. If so, you need to know whether your firewall supports passive FTP and whether you must provide a firewall host name and port number. If you are not sure how the firewall supports FTP access, consult your organization’s network administrator.

To provide FTP or SFTP information:

  1. Enter the FTP address of your server.

  2. Connection Wizard Connection Information screen

  3. Enter your FTP login name.
  4. Note: Your FTP login name and password may be different from your network user name and password.

  5. Enter your FTP password.
  6. If you need to configure FTP to work with a firewall, click the Advanced button. For more information, see Setting advanced connection settings.
