First of all, I just wanted to say that I just downloaded Absolute and I love it so far.

One thing I'm having a problem with is when I launch SFTP it always starts in "C:Documents and SettingsMichaelMy Documents".

I go into options and set the default download directory to "C:web pages" but that has no effect when I launch SFTP.

Is this just a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Other than that I love this so far, thanks a million.

Thanks for the post Mike. I'm glad you like the new feature.

Honestly, none of the options on Options->Properties->Transfer affect SFTP at all. Those are for the xmodem/ymodem/zmodem types of transfers. It makes sense, though, to link the "Download Directory" to the default folder opened in the 'local' pane of the SFTP transfer dialog.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see if I can get that into the next release!

Regards,

Brian

You are welcome, I love the tabbed feature most. That's why I started using Firefox so long ago ( one of the big reasons, plus the obvious security, etc ).

Ok, I had a feeling that was the case, but wanted to double check, thanks a ton.

Adding a way to set the default local directory for SFTP would be incredibly useful.

My "My Documents" directory is rather large, for a number of reasons, so it takes forever when I click the SFTP button.

Yea I was really hoping to see that in this new release also.

Also I have discovered a totally unrelated true bug that you will probably want to know about. It's kind of sensitive, so I will try to PM you about this Brian.

Thanks.

Ok, Ok... I've got a new beta that changes SFTP so that it respects the default download setting defined in the file transfer properties dialog. Let me know what you think:
