If you have time why do I need to change it? (Which DOC or MAN) do I need to read?
Once the connection is made go to perferences -> network -> file transfers then change the setting to whatever you want. As to why you get the warning to change it I would image it has to do with security but you would think it should actually make you set the path before you can download anything not give you a warning for a preset path, I just checked my install and it was set to my /home and it did not give me that warning strange indeed.
