Configurator properties file
The configurator uses a file named Flo_servers.txt, which should be in /Library/Application Support/SwitchScripts/DMP (Mac), C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SwitchScripts\DMP (Windows) or C:\ProgramData\SwicthScripts\DMP (Windows 7 and Vista). This file should contain the server name and address, and the account’s user name and password.
Entering a Server name in the property (or selecting it using Select from library) will search the flo_servers.txt file for the server and use the corresponding server address.
Entering a Client ID in the properties (or selecting it using Select from library) will search the flo_servers.txt file for the server and use the corresponding user name and password.
