The Site Connection Manager is used to control the connections to Site Studio Web sites on the content server. You can add, edit, and delete site connections. When you connect to a Web site, you essentially connect to its project file on the content server. This project file holds all relevant information that enables you to work with the site in Designer. For example, it contains references to all files that comprise the Web site and their relationships.
You can open the Site Connection Manager in two ways:
By opening the File menu, selecting Site, and then Connection Manager.
By clicking the Site Connection Manager icon on the site toolbar (Figure).
When you create a site connection, you specify the Cgi URL address of the content server that stores the Web site, the site identifier, and a connection name. Site Studio Designer then creates a project file for the Web site and checks it into the content server with the default metadata for new project files (see Specifying the Metadata That is Assigned to a Project File). When you have created a site connection, you can quickly open your site in Designer using the menu on the site toolbar (Figure) or by selecting File, then Site, and then Recent Sites.
Web sites also appear in the "Web Sites" menu on the content server, where it can be easily opened by you, by contributors, and by site visitors (Figure).
See Site Connections and Site Connection Manager Dialog for more information on working with site connections.
