Set Default Home Directories
Use default home directories to determine which files you see by default in the FTP Client. The default server directory determines which files you see in the server pane when you first connect to a site. There are two kinds of default local home folders. One is the global setting for the FTP Client, and the other kind is specific to each site that you connect to. Once you've configured a site-specific local home folder, the FTP Client will show that folder in the local pane, and the default server home directory in the server pane.
To set the default server directory
- Use the right pane to browse for the server directory you want to set as the default.
- From the Connection menu, choose Site Properties and then click the Directories tab.

Note: To change the default server home directory, you can also right-click the folder you want to use, and then choose Set Home Directory.
