yep I agree Scott, but it's most definitely not where it should be then lol, all the software I use have all the ftp settings so obviously it's saved somewhere, and the DirectFTP keeps my settings on uninstall/reinstall which I found out on that test version last week so it's somewhere, it's just not where you're saying it is lol


LIES!! :)

Seriously though, it's not there. I'll do a search for that file and see if the computer finds it right now too and let ya know.

no such file has been found anywhere on my computer. I had it check hidden files, system files, made sure it wasn't caps sensitive, etc. ... SharedSettings.css doesn't exist lol

And when I searched my system, Windows found it right away in that exact path. Go figure ;)

Are you 10000000% sure you are looking under the correct user?

If you have some free time on Monday, drop me an e-mail and I can connect to your pc with logmein to see what the issue is. I know they have to be there someplace ;)

As Scott says, it must be there or the software wouldn't know what settings to use, unless during the update from old to new version it is still using registry entries for project/server information.

Scott, Jo Ann, Dave,....

As noted by Dave in his last post with file directory image, the file name is SharedSettings.ccs, i.e. not .css as file extension. It may even logically mean "CoffeCupShared", or something like that.
Like Jo Ann, I had also done a system-wide search (XP SP3, IE 8) of the .css file quoted by Scott (!), and found nothing, but with the .ccs extension it turned up in: C:\Documents and Settings\(name)\Application Data

well you were almost correct Scott lol, I did find the file now that I see the different extension name *thanks Per and Dave, sorry I didn't notice that mentioned earlier my bad*. Search found it but it's not in any Roaming folder which was part of the problem it's straight in the Application Data folder itself. Confusing lol, not in coffeecup folders or any other folder, just right in the Application Data folder which I never would have looked there for a file lol.

Anyways I found it !! Yayyyy so maybe it's there for you too Twitchin? Hope so as that would end a long search for this mysterious little file! :P

Wolverana - yes! Cesare from tech support told me Scott was a bad boy and gave us the wrong extension on the file! .CCS is what i told my system to look for and I found it in the Application Data folder.

I still do NOT have an AppData folder that I can find.

The file was all alone in the application data folder, not inside any other folder in there.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
