Hi Friends,
I use FileZilla FTP client to transfer files using FTP. I found it amazing and got it for free from https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Main_Page
I have stored many sites in site manager with various kinds of settings so that I can quickly connect to these FTP sites and reach the desired location as soon as I connect to those FTP sites. Many times I wanted to transfer these site's and other settings onto some other machines due to change of machines, machine reformatting, etc.
Here are the easy techniques to take backup and restore the FileZilla client settings.
Option-1: Export one particular site only
If you want to export only one site from the list of sites then follow simple steps below:
1. Open site Manager either by clicking ctrl+s or from File->Site Manager menu
2. Right click and select export.
3. Save it by giving some meaningful name. It will create xml file
4. Copy this xml file to new machine and import it from File->Import menu
Option-2: Export all the site only
If you want to export only one site from the list of sites then follow simple steps below:
1. From File->Export menu
2. Select the categories you want to export. It gives 3 categories to export as shown in screenshot below.
3. Save it by giving some meaningful name. It will create xml file
4. Copy this xml file to new machine and import it from File->Import menu
