Connecting with Contribute

There are 2 ways to establish a connection with your web site:
  1. Connection Key
  2. Connection Wizard (Requires web account password)
Connection Key
  • Site administrators generate connection keys that connect you to your web server and assign editing privileges
  • Connection Keys have the extension STC (e.g. connection.stc)
Opening Key From Email
  1. Download the key attachment to your desktop. 
  2. Double-click on the key. 
  3. You will be prompted for the key password. Password will be the "name" in "name-key.stc" (Example: parking-key.stc  password is: parking)
  4. Sometimes the key will not open because the PC does not associate the file type with Contribute. Right click on the key and select "Open With"; select "Choose Program..."; select "Browse..." button; select "Program Files"; select "Macromedia or Adobe" folder"; select "Contribute"
Connection Wizard
  1. Select "Create a connection"
  2. Select "Next" button
  3. Enter web address (url) and select "Next" button (e.g. http://www.tcnj.edu/~it/)
