Configuration file
From PowerFolder Wiki
PowerFolder stores important settings in a configuration file called "PowerFolder.config".
Contents |
Location
- Windows: %APPDATA%/PowerFolder (e.g. C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\PowerFolder)
- Linux/Mac: %USER_HOME%/.PowerFolder (e.g. /home/myuser/.PowerFolder)
- or (if file is existing) in the execution directory of PowerFolder (usual setup when running the server version)
Make sure your file browser shows hidden/system files.
Editing
The config file can be edited with a simple text editor (e.g. Notepad). Make sure PowerFolder is stopped when editing it otherwise your changed might get overwritten by PowerFolder.
Folder settings
To change the local directory on a system not running a graphical user interface (e.g. Linux server) simply edit the corresponding lines of the PowerFolder in the config file.
