Export and Import Configurations

How to backup, transfer, and share your FTP Synchronizer profiles

Configuration Location

By default, all configurations are saved in your configuration folder. To open it, you can navigate to:

C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\FTPSynchronizer\

Alternatively, you can simply paste %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\FTPSynchronizer into Explorer and press Enter. Windows will open it for you correctly.

Configuration Files

You may see several files and directories in this configuration folder:

  • Profiles directory - Contains all your synchronization profiles (*.pro files)
  • accounts.ini - FTP/SFTP server account information
  • Config.ini - Global application settings
  • Log files - Synchronization history logs

Backup All Configurations

If you want to backup all your configurations, simply backup the entire "FTPSynchronizer" directory.

This includes all your profiles, settings, and account information. It's recommended to create regular backups, especially before software updates or system changes.

Share Profiles with Others

If you want to share the profiles with other people (e.g., team members), you can share the Profiles directory and accounts.ini with them.

The Config.ini is not necessary in this case, as it contains user-specific global settings that don't affect the profiles themselves.

Import Configurations

To import configurations:

  1. Close FTP Synchronizer
  2. Copy the configuration files to the configuration folder
  3. Restart FTP Synchronizer
  4. Your profiles will appear in the profile list

Best Practices

  • Create regular backups of your configuration folder
  • When sharing profiles, remove sensitive account information from accounts.ini if needed
  • Document your profile structure for team members
  • Test imported profiles before running synchronization
  • Keep version control of important profiles using external tools
