QuickConnect/History

[jjones2020]

I have a new laptop and want to transfer the history and QuickConnect ID's and passwords from my desktop computer. I'm on a Mac. Anyone know where that data file or folder might be? Preferences? .plist? App Support? etc??? Thanks in advance....

~/.filezilla

Thanks for the reply, I'm new to this...I've done a spotlight search for the ~/.filezilla file on my Mac, and there appears to be no result. Maybe I'm not doing the search right. Still need help...thanks

Forget spotlight, it is a bad search program. It doesn't look in all places like a good search program.

More to the point, it probably avoids "hidden" files and directories. And file or directory that begins with a period is hidden.

Correction: The file is not hidden, it is fully advertised by the file system. It is your programs however that impose some arbitrary semantics on the filenames.

Thanks all, for the spotlight lessons, and for the debate on whether ~/.filezilla is a hidden file or not. What I need to know is where I might find this elusive file. I still have no idea where it is, I can't find it through any of the ways I know how to search on the Mac. I'm looking to copy this file from my Mac Pro desktop to my new MacBook Pro laptop. Need guidance. Thanks in advance....

It's a directory, not a file.

~ is a shortcut for "current user's home directory". You could drop to a terminal shell and type "cd ~/.filezilla" or enter ~/.filezilla in the address bar of your file manager.
