Correct syntax?
« on: January 21, 2008, 08:20:40 PM »
The Initial Path field may be left blank, unless you require a specific directorylisting to be displayed when you connect to the Server.

Can you please give me an example of what to enter in this field?. I need to set this up but am not sure as to what to type in this field.

Thanks!!

Basically just where you want to start viewing the file listings.  For a web site you might have:
Server:   ftp.mydomain.com
Initial Path:  /public_html    (which is the normal name for your home directory on the web server -- you can add a trailing "/" if you want)

Or you could start in a subdirectory:
Initial Path:  /public_html/main

Here's an example for an sftp connection to a data storage area:
Server: server.some.where.org
Initial Path: /var/local/mydata

I suggest you start with Initial Path empty and then see where you get connected to, and where you want to go by default.
