Relative or Absolute path of the directory to browse. Subfolders below these paths can also be monitored.

Paths must contain one of the strings specified in the Appdata\settings.xml file in the MTFAllowedPaths node.

Paths are case sensitive ie. MTFAllowedPaths set as C:/temp would allow files to be monitored in physical path C:\temp, but not C:\Temp

XML

 <MTFAllowedPaths>
    <string>~/App_Data</string>

  </MTFAllowedPaths>

For example the path "~/App_Data/RIA/MyPage" would be allowed as it contains the value "~/App_Data"
