dil_bert Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 hello dear Requinix many thanks - great: followed this link. https://winscp.net/eng/docs/config#transfer Exporting/Backing up the Configuration to export/back up your configuration, go to Tools > Export/Backup configuration on Login dialog. well i did this - and was able to save a file called winSCP.ini question : is this the whole magic!? in other words: do i have with this saved file all i need. and yes: if i port over this file to the new machine - into the apropiate folder - with a import dialog - is this all i need to do? love to hear from you greetings the link. https://winscp.net/eng/docs/config#transfer Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/307415-winscp-how-to-port-over-all-the-data-credentials-from-one-installation-to-another/#findComment-1559136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Not sure I understand you. It is telling you how to export and import the configuration. Are you asking me if the documentation is wrong? If there's something important that they somehow neglected to mention?
