I've been trying to set up a contribute connection on a client machine for a while now without any luck, Adobe support haven't been much help at all.
We're using CS4 on a vista machine, connecting to a website via normal FTP. The FTP connection itself seems fine.. and we've connected to the site from this machine with normal ftp and downloaded/uploaded without problems. Don't have any problems setting up contribute on other machines for this site either. One symptom is that contribute always has trouble determining the remote path (on this machine only).
We can connect to the website ok via Internet Explorer on the same machine. However, I noticed that IE is setup to use a proxy server for web connections.
I'm wondering whether this is the problem - can Contribute use a proxy server for the HTTP part of its operation?
