Transfer connections from HD to HD issue

#1 Post by brianstoiber » 2023-01-30 16:40

I just replaced the old HD on my laptop with a new one. The only thing I forgot to back up was the connections I had saved in FileZilla. I have the old HD in an enclosure and have access to it. However, when I open it and try to export the connections, there are none available. Is this because loading FileZilla from the old HD, it is still looking at the new HD's AppData directory?

Is there a way to get these connections off the old HD and import them into FileZilla that is on the new HD?

Yes, FileZilla does always look for settings and sites on the active OS' locations.

Just try to import the sites and settings, using the original filezilla.xml from the old directory as source.
