Remarks

Use the WorkingDirectory property to specify the directory to which a replication agent downloads snapshot files using FTP protocol. Replication uses this directory to decompress snapshot files, which are downloaded in .cab format. If no directory is specified, the operating system uses the c:\Temp directory by default.

Note  If an application calls WorkingDirectory on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
