Specify the User Login Directory

The user login directory determines which directory's contents a user sees after connecting to the server. The default login directory is the Windows user profile directory.

To change the user login directory

Click the Configuration > SFTP Directories.
Select a directory in the User login directory list.
Save your settings (File > Save Settings).

Notes:

The specified login directory affects all SFTP and SCP2 file transfers.
A file transfer implementation that uses the SFTP subsystem. SCP2 is useful for scripted file transfer.
By default, changes to User login directory do not affect SCP1 transfers. To apply the customized login directory to scp connections from OpenSSH clients, go to the Permissions tab and select Use SFTP accessible directory settings for SCP1.
An early implementation of the SCP protocol used by OpenSSH. This protocol does not use the SFTP subsystem; it executes an rcp command through the secure channel.
To add an item to the User login directory list, add it to the SFTP accessible directories list and confirm that Allow is selected.
To have users log into their virtual root directory, which contains all accessible directories configured and allowed under SFTP accessible directories, select the virtual root directory (shown as a forward slash) from the list of available login directories.
When you change the user login directory, if the currently configured user public key directory does not correspond to the new login location, a warning message appears. You can ignore this message if you do not use public key authentication, or if you configure user keys manually.
