Where is the FTP and server info stored for each program? Is there a file that keeps all my server info that I can back up and copy over so I don't have to re-enter all my server info on a new install?

Thanks

It should keep your info but I think it's in something like coffeecup/roaming/sharedsettings
Here's an article for direct ftp. Not sure on VSD

I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Thanks,

I found a SharedSetting.css file in both the roaming folder and the C:\Users[username]AppData\Roaming\CoffeeCupSoftware\Common\SharedSettings.ccs

I'll copy them both.

I know those are good for other programs like the HTML editor and such.

Direct FTP has an export setup for saving your settings to be imported. Just take a look at the menus (I think in File menu) and you should find it there. That is the file you need in order to reinstall the program later and import your accounts back in.

Yes, but VSD doesn't have that option that I have seen. But thanks!
Frankly, I don't know why all the CC programs don't use the same file to retrieve server and FTP information.

BUt just FYI, coping the SharedSettings.css files didn't change anything.
