### FTP Info - Sales Server
The same applies to the sales server which usually would be very much the same concept. You will simply be adding the same kind of string . Except usually the update server and the sales server is not the same place. [00:06:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m47s) The update server, let the user know, that there is an update. Whereas the sales server, let the user know where this component zip file will be stored on the server. In the case of something like WHMCS or another component through which you are selling your extensions, you can use the folder in your server which is looking for the files. You can use that folder, you can create a FTP account in that folder, and then set that details in this field (See video). If 'compile' is clicked, Component Builder shows aan option, 'add backup folder' and 'save sales server' and then click 'yes'. If you compile it now, it will move the 'zip file' to 'sales server', as well as creating a backup.

### Component Builder Global Options
The backup and the Git folder is actually set up in your components global options. We haven't really spoken much about the global options. Let us open it now. We saw in this area here, that it says that this field is encrypted. In component builder if you go to global settings, it says encryption settings. In here [00:08:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h08m18s) you would add your own key. By which it will encrypt, once you've added this key. You shouldn't change it because it will not be able to decrypt, because it's used to encrypt and as well to decrypt the data. That just means everything that's been encrypted needs to be redone. In this case it is going to be these login FTP login information. This is the basic encryption which we spoke of on talk about storing types. You got basic encryption and advanced encryption. This is basic encryption way. [00:09:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m01s) It's also called basic key.
The 'backup' and the 'Git' folder is set up in your Components Global options. If you open 'Global Options', you will see this area, which shows that this field is encrypted. If you go to global settings in Component Builder it shows the encryption settings. [00:08:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h08m18s) Once you have added your own key it will encrypt. You must not change it because it will not be able to decrypt, as it is used to encrypt and as well to decrypt the data. Consequently everything that has been encrypted then needs to be redone. In this case it is going to be these login FTP login information. This is the basic encryption which have been mentioned when we talked about storing types. There is basic encryption and advanced encryption. We are dealing here with the basic encryption way which is also called 'basic key.'

### Component Builder Folder Paths
Then you have folder paths. These two first folder paths, called compiler folder and custom folder, I would leave them for now, they are a little buggy. I haven't fully managed to achieve them being flexible. To move them at this stage is difficult. For a number of reasons I would suggest you just leave them blank. But here you would add a backup folder. This should be related to the root of your server. As well as a Git folder. [00:09:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m41s) Git folder would be where component builder creates a folder with all the components files without zipping them. And then you can go to that folder and create a Git create, a Git repository there. From that folder you can push to Github or any other Git server respectively. It's able to create a folder from which you can do Github or any other kind of repository work. Which are separate from your backup folder and also separate from the temporary folder in which [00:10:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m17s) compiles the component. You can move it out of your Joomla install. That's what these folder paths are for. So when you do the compiling of the component it does that Git repository. It won't delete the .Gitfolder, it will just replace all the files in it. First remove the old ones then add the new ones and Git will see that only the files that is been changed, it will notice and those who you need to do a recommit, do just a normal commit to get it into your repository. If you don't know Git, then possibly it doesn't make sense to you. There's some great courses as well about Git on lynda.com as well as Udome. You can just go look in at those. That's a backup folder and the sales server. The same goes here with this FTP [00:11:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m18s) credentials should be that direct folder in which these zip files should be stored. Unfortunately component builder cannot store it in subfolders at this point. The FTP details will just login to that FTP account, and in that folder which has the access you'll put the file there. No subfolders or other folders, the FTP details should be going directly to the folder. In the component builder, then will be in the back end components, component builder and then Helpers. There is a file called compiler. If you open that file, [00:12:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzbZlLl-xlA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m14s) you would see that we have a function here builtme. Here's all the placeholders that you can use in the builtme file, and will be replaced with the relative information.

Here at 'Backup Folder Path' you should add a backup folder. This should be related to the root of your server, as well as to a 'Git' folder.

That is the function of the folder paths, it does the Git Repository when you compile the component and it will not delete the .Gitfolder, it will just replace all the files in it.
