How to Define a Website Connection in Adobe Contribute
The Contribute program can connect to a web site in multiple ways. This document describes how to connect to a network drive. If you have not already connected to a network drive, do it now and, if needed, use the Macintosh or Windows online documentation. There are two requirements to define a Contribute website: a connected network drive and the web address (URL) of your web site.
1. Start Adobe Contribute.
2. Click the Website Connection link in the splash screen or choose Edit > My Connections... from the menu and click the Create button.

5. Choose "Local/Network" from the "How do you connect to your web server" list. Click on the "Choose..." button, locate the drive recently mapped to a Windows network share, and click the Next button to continue. If needed, review the document on how to map a network drive for more details (Macintosh and Windows).
