Importing a website connection key

Your website administrator might provide a connection key, which you import to establish a connection to your website. The connection key contains all of the network information Contribute needs to connect to your website.

The website administrator will send an e-mail message with the key attached or give you the network location from which to download the key.

Note: Your website administrator should give you the connection key password. If you do not know the password, contact your website administrator.

To import a website connection key:

  1. Open the e-mail message containing the connection key.
  2. If the connection key is not attached to an e-mail message, navigate to the network location of the key, then copy it to your computer. You can also select Edit > My Connections (Windows) or Contribute > My Connections (Macintosh), and then click the Import button to navigate to the connection key.

  3. Double-click the connection key. (The connection key has an .stc extension, as in myConnection.stc.)
  4. Contribute starts up (if it is not already running), and the Import Connection Key dialog box appears.

  5. Enter your name, e-mail address, and the password for the connection key.
  6. Note: If you don’t have a password, contact the website administrator who sent you the connection key.

    When the connection is completed, the home page of the website appears in the Contribute browser.
