Post computer crash - how to start from scratch

Hi there
On Monday a crazy (ex) friend managed to destroy all the programs and data on our computer. We have a website, and we are linked to it through FTP.

The completion of details was dictated to us by the website writer last year. (He is on vacation at the moment) Subsequently, log in details, password, etc were all rememmbered by the machine.. all we had to do was press the logo. Then this !!!!

We have managed to download FTP, and now are trying to complete the 'GENERAL SETTINGS' Box.

The term 'DEFAULT DOWNLOAD PATH' does not actually mean a lot to us. Is it the path to the file where on the C: Drive where we store the information that uploads / downloads from the website or does it mean something something else ?


Also, the term 'DATA FILE PATH' does not mean too much to us.

We are sure that we know what these things are, but do not know what the terms 'DEFAULT DOWNLOAD PATH' and 'DATA FILE PATH' represent.

Finally, after setting the details, will the system prompt to 'remember' the log-in detalils.


Thanks in advance

Jane and Stew
Thanks a bunch

This is "SmartFTP Backup Tool" Discussion section.
Problem you're describing concerns SmartFTP itself.
"Default Download Folder" is the folder where each file is downloaded to if no destination is entered explicitly.
"Data path" is the directory where each user specific SmartFTP settings are saved. (see https://www.smartftp.com/backup/data-files.html)

To Backup/Restore or Reset this settings of current SmartFTP Installation "SmartFTP Backup Tool" (https://www.smartftp.com/backup) can be used.
Generally 'GENERAL SETTINGS' need not to be changed.
