What does "Set Default Account" do?

[djlurch]

On the FTP Account Manager applet there is a "Set Default Account" button.

I looked in the UE Help section and it said: "The Set Default Account button sets the active/selected account as the default account specified by an asterisk "*" following the account name in the list."

What does setting an FTP account as the default actually do?

Well, I'm not using FTP and therefore don't really know it. I suppose that this account is preselected when you execute File - FTP/Telnet - Open from FTP and Save As to FTP. And perhaps the settings of the default account are preset for new accounts.

Thanks for the response.

It appears that is exactly what it does. I use the "File View" tab to access files via FTP. Since I do not use the menu (File->FTP->Browse), I did not see that.
