    Predator DNC 2008 Default file directory

    When manually sending a file within Predator DNC, there's a window that pops up with the default directory to your files for each of the machines. How can I change the default directory of each machine to another location in Predator DNC 2008?


    Thanks.

    In the Paths dialog of the Send command, set the top level directory. When you right-click on the machine and select Send to CNC, it will search in that directory. You'll have to be running DNC Administrator to do this.

    Got it. Thanks. I was confused with the right click name of machine>new>folder{or Live folder}

    You could do a folder or Live Folder for each machine, but it's not necessary.

    Also, you can drag and drop a program from an open Windows folder onto a machine icon in PDNC, then select Send to CNC from the pop-up menu.
