Select a root directory - Intuitibits Help

The root directory is the folder where Transfer saves the files after a successful upload request. It is also the folder that contains the files made available to clients for download.

Select the root directory on first launch

The first time you launch Transfer, it sets up a root directory automatically. The App Store version prompts you to select the folder you want to use; the non-App Store version doesn’t prompt you and instead defaults to ~/Transfer.

The root directory can be made read-only so that only downloads are allowed. To make the root directory read-only, select Read Only in the Transfer toolbar.

You can show the contents of the root directory in Finder by clicking Show.

In the Transfer toolbar, click the path of the current root directory.
Choose Other…, then select a new directory.

Transfer keeps a history of the last ten previously used directories. To switch to a previous directory, click the current root directory path and choose a directory from the menu.
