This option allows you to specify where you want to put files that you
download. If no path is specified, downloads will be directed to the
currently logged drive and directory. If a path is specified, the file will
be placed in the named directory.
For example, if this option is set to "C:\FILES\," then all files that you
download will be placed in the \FILES\ directory on drive C:. Keep in mind
that the pathname must end with a backslash ("\") in order for ProComm to
interpret it correctly. Consult your DOS user's guide for details about
directory naming conventions.
You can override the download directory option when using the file transfer
protocols which require you to name the incoming file (XMODEM, YMODEM, and
ASCII) by including a path when specifying the filename to download. For
example, when downloading a file using the XMODEM protocol, ProComm will
prompt you for the name of the file to be downloaded.
If you specify "C:\UTIL\FILENAME.EXT" as the filename, the file will go
directly to the \UTIL directory on the C: drive, and not to the default
download directory. The other file transfer protocols include the filename
as part of the data being sent, so you will not be prompted for the filename
to use and thus cannot override the default download directory option.
