Hello, a friend is trying to download a big file from an ftp program to his pc, unfortunately it keeps downloading to his 30G partition that only has windows on it instead of the 1TB drive he's designated for download.

The question is, how can he ensure that windows will download ftp files to his 1TB with plenty of room instead of downloading it to his Windows 7 partition drive?

He says that Windows creates a ghost temp file of what he's downloading on the 30G and thats why he's having this issue..

Right-click on the "Downloads" folder icon, select "Properties", choose the tool to move the downloads folder to a different location (Target Location) on the big drive.

Alternatively, the ftp program should have settings that allow you to designate where files will be saved.
