First, make sure that the remote client has successfully connected to the server at least once. Then, the .4DLink file should be located at the following path (Windows 7 or newer):

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\4D\Favorites v20\

Note that if using an older 4D version, such as v19, replace “20” with “19” in the above path, for example. Also replace [UserName] with the appropriate username.

Then, create a Windows shortcut with its target having 2 parameters as follows:

“[Path_to_4D_app]” “[Path_to_4DLink]”



Make sure that [Path_to_4D_app] is a path to 4D of the same version as the server’s.
Then, the shortcut can be double-clicked to quickly launch and connect to the remote server, skipping the “Connection to 4D Server” prompt.
