Burp Server not Restoring To Burp Windows Client about burp HOT 1 OPEN

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, I was not able to reply until now.

I suspect that what you are seeing is related to security improvements made in 2.2.14:

    Protect the client against restoring over symlinks that point
    outside of the desired destination directory. Giving a restore
    directory is now mandatory.

Prior to this, it was possible (under certain conditions) for malicious people to do undesirable things on any part of the client filesystem. Whereas now, you can (from the perspective of the client) limit where it writes.
This makes it a bit harder for the server to restore anywhere it likes.

However, if you want that ability (because you control both server and client) and my memory is correct, then I think you can probably override it on the client side just be setting 'restoreprefix=/' in the client side config.
