On the Local Favorites page of the Settings dialog you can create a list of commonly used directories on your local computer. These favorites can then be easily selected from a drop-down menu in the File Transfer window.
This list contains the favorite folders you have defined for your local computer. Initially the list contains your locally available drives. You can add, remove and sort the favorites by using the New, Delete, Up, and Down icons displayed above the list.
In the Home Folder field you can type the directory that is initially displayed in the local view pane of the file transfer window.
