On the following screen, enter your FTP connection details. The name of the FTP server is simply your domain name (domain.com), unless the domain is not yet resolving to the Hosting Matters network.

Contribute will then present a finalization screen with the summarized information for the connection. Choose Done. If there is an index file in place, Contribute will display this file. You can now begin working with the files under the account, or create new content if this is a new site.
