It annoys me that the default working directory for downloading to the PC is hard-coded (?) to ....\\My Documents\\BlueZone\\Transfer
I tried editing the Working Directory entry in  Computer\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\BlueZone (64-bit)\\10.1  but it just seems to get reset to the BlueZone\\Transfer entry again.

Is there really no way to set the default download folder to where I want ?

Hi Michael,

You can set the "Initial PC Directory" (see screenshot below) in "Session > Configure > Connections > Edit > Connection" page, and the download directory will take effect after connection, does it help?



Thanks

Hello Michael, hope you have found out the gotcha. "Initial PC Directory"  setting Shaogeng mentioned only exists in FTP session, so if you open a FTP session (*.zft) , you will not miss it.
