Hi Mark,

I’ve been able to replicate the behaviour you’re describing using the following steps.

1. Create a new project
2. Set up a new FTP publishing destination with a remote path
3. Change the publishing destination type to Local Folder
4. Choose an export folder
5. Publish the site

Instead of publishing to the root of the local folder, RW publishes to the path specified in step 2.

We’ll get this fixed up in the next version of RW but for now a simple work around is to add a new publishing destination instead of reusing an existing one.

Cheers  
Tom
