In Filetopia is mandatory to have at least one shared files list, the Default List.
You may choose to create your own list or let the program create and manage it for you.


When first installed, the program creates a list called "Downloads"  that contains one shared folder,  your "Download Path" as specified in basic preferences (F12).


If you do nothing, at the very least you will have a list that shares whatever you download in Filetopia.


You can define which of your lists you want to share by default in one of several ways:

  • On the Preferences screen, basic tab, right below your Download Path is a List to Send combo.
  • When you create a list, you can check: "Make Default List"
  • In the Lists sidebar, you can choose one of your lists then right-click and select Make Default

Your default list is highlighted by the following icon in the list sidebar:
