The idea was to use %USERNAME% as remote folder name and 
%USERPROFILE%\My documents as local folder to store like this:

%USERNAME%
    {
    Path = %USERPROFILE%\My documents\
    }

I was kinda hoping this would solve the problem. But it does not 
recognize the %VARIABLE% :(

And my knowledge of environment variables is not that good. Is there 
anywhere i can read me to some knowledge about it??
