Providing Ftp Information - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

To select the method you will use to connect to the website, from the pop-up menu, select one of
the following options:
•
Local/Network
Enter the network path of the web server and the folder (directory) containing the website's
files. Click the Browse button to browse the web server and the website's folder. (You can type
the path directly in the text box if you're familiar with specifying local and network paths, but
using the Browse button ensures that the path is accurate.)
Note: The network path is not a path to the location where files will be stored locally on your computer; it's a path
to the location of the files on the web server.
•
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
If you choose to connect to the website using an FTP connection, you must supply
information about the connection.

Providing FTP information

If you choose to connect to the website using FTP, 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 if your firewall supports passive FTP, or if 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.
